Eva Zei
Core Instructor
At Brandeis University, Eva Zei graduated with a major in Neuroscience. Subsequently, Eva obtained a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Stanford University. While at Stanford, Eva worked with Dr. Richard Aldrich studying potassium channel biophysics in the Department of Molecular & Cellular Physiology. At Stanford, Eva taught courses in cellular neuroscience and worked with the Stanford Summer Minority Student Program. Interested in the intersection between science and the law, Eva chose to study law at the University of California at Berkeley and Harvard Law School. After obtaining her J.D., Eva practiced law for seven years in Boston and the Bay Area with a focus on life sciences patent litigation.
Eva joined Stanford OHS in 2023 and is absolutely delighted to teach Legal Studies: Constitutional Law. When not teaching, Eva can be found cooking overly complicated dishes, making things out of yarn, and raising her three daughters.
