Sebastian Ares de Parga Regalado
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioA dedicated Computational Engineer with a Civil Engineering background from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and a Master's degree in Numerical Methods in Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC/CIMNE). I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the same institution in reduced order modeling for digital twins, while also leading innovative projects at CIMNE and collaborating with industry leaders such as Airbus and Siemens. As a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Stanford University, I will be conducting cutting-edge research on nonlinear reduced order modeling. My work is motivated by a desire to advance computational engineering via research, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

Manan Arya
Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsManan Arya leads the Morphing Space Structures Laboratory. His research is on structures that can adapt their shape to respond to changing requirements. Examples include deployable structures for spacecraft that can stow in constrained volumes for launch and then unfold to larger sizes in space, terrestrial structures with variable geometry, and morphing robots. Key research thrusts include lightweight fiber-reinforced composite materials to enable innovative designs for flexible structures, and the algorithmic generation of the geometry of morphing structures – the arrangement of stiff and compliant elements – to enable novel folding mechanisms.
He has published more than 20 journal and conference papers and has been awarded 5 US patents. Prior to joining Stanford, he was a Technologist at the Advanced Deployable Structures Laboratory at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, where he developed and tested breakthrough designs for space structures, including deployable reflectarrays, starshades, and solar arrays.
