	Co-President: Sam Steyer M.S. Candidate, Computational and Mathematical Engineering Sam is a candidate for an M.S. in Computational Math with a focus on smart grid and utility integration of renewable power. Prior to coming to Stanford, he served as a Project Coordinator for the 2Seeds Network, an agriculture-focused nonprofit based in East Africa, working with the management of Tanzania’s largest crop market to build a system for recording and sharing prices using mobile phones. Before that, he was an analyst with Advanced Energy Economy. He completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Math from Harvard College, where he played defense for the Men’s Lacrosse Team.
	Co-President: Madhur Boloor Ph.D. Candidate, Materials Science and Engineering Madhur is pursuing a PhD in the Materials Science and Engineering department. He is conducting research under Professor William Chueh on elevated temperature water-splitting for renewable and affordable hydrogen fuel production. A proud Bay Area native, Madhur is interested in the interface between energy technology and policy, with a focus in energy storage. In his spare time, Madhur enjoys being Yelp Elite, exploring local restaurants, playing badminton/basketball, and going to Golden State Warriors games.
