Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced bioremediation and resource recovery.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot. -
Sebastian Ares de Parga Regalado
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioA Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, specializing in reduced-order modeling, scientific machine learning, computational mechanics, and digital twins. His research focuses on combining physics-based modeling and machine learning to accelerate complex numerical simulations toward real-time applications in solid and fluid mechanics. With over six years of research experience, including leading innovative projects at the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) and a former Fulbright Visiting Researcher appointment at Stanford, his work aims to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world engineering applications.

Jon Arizti Sanz
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBasidiomycetes, mushroom-forming fungi, hold great potential for converting agricultural waste into valuable food and products, but we lack basic tools to understand and engineer their metabolism. My work leverages genomic data and computational methods to develop a suite of synthetic biology tools to engineer and modulate mushrooms biology. In addition, I use Coprinopsis cinerea as a model to probe substrate-dependent growth and metabolic output across defined and real-world feedstocks.

Iro Armeni
Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioIro Armeni is Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She is interested in interdisciplinary research between Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Visual Machine Perception. Iro focuses on developing quantitative and data-driven methods that learn from real-world visual data to generate, predict, and simulate new or renewed built environments that place the human in the center. Iro's goal is to create sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive built environments that can support our current and future physical and digital needs. As part of her research vision, she is particularly interested in creating spaces that blend from the 100% physical (real reality) to the 100% digital (virtual reality) and anything in between, with the use of Mixed Reality.
Iro completed her PhD at Stanford University on August 2020, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, with a PhD minor at the Computer Science Department. Afterwards she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH Zurich working at both the Computer Science and Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering Departments (2023). Prior to her PhD, she received an MSc in Computer Science (Ionian University-2013), an MEng in Architecture and Digital Design (University of Tokyo-2011), and a Diploma in Architectural Engineering (National Technical University of Athens-2009). She has also worked as an architect and consultant for both the private and public sector.
Iro is the recipient of the Google Research Scholar Program, the ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Google PhD Fellowship, and the MEXT Scholarship. -
