Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Chandler is a veteran technology strategist and open scholarship leader with 13+ years at Stanford building research infrastructure, open-source policy, and community-driven services that advance reproducible science. As Director of Open Scholarship Strategy and head of Stanford’s OSPO, he connects faculty, IT, and libraries to scale data sharing, persistent identifiers, and open-source projects so good ideas achieve “escape velocity.” He blends hands-on API and web architecture experience with design thinking and a knack for aggregating distributed excellence across campus. Based in Palo Alto, Zach is driven by contributing to greater causes and routinely creates surprising cross-disciplinary connections that multiply impact. An uncommon strength is his practice of learning as much as teaching, which sustains collaborative innovation across institutional and sectoral boundaries.
