Hideo Mabuchi to direct the Stanford Arts Institute

Hideo Mabuchi, practicing artist and professor of applied physics in the School of Humanities and Sciences, is the new Denning Faculty Director of the Stanford Arts Institute (SAI). Parallel with his research in quantum engineering, he has developed deep personal interests in exploring interfaces of modern science with traditional craft, aesthetic philosophy, and new materialism. As a teacher, he aspires to invigorate ideals of liberal education, which dovetails with SAI’s mission to promote the arts as an integral element of education and research.
