Bernard Roth
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioRoth is one of the founders of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (the d.school) and is active in its development: currently, he serves as Academic Director. His design interests include organizing and presenting workshops on creativity, group interactions, and the problem solving process. Formerly he researched the kinematics, dynamics, control, and design of computer controlled mechanical devices. In kinematics, he studied the mathematical theory of rigid body motions and its application to the design of machines.

Teresa Salomone
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioTeresa Salomone is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford’s Center for Turbulence Research. She earned her PhD through a joint collaboration between Queen’s University in Canada and the University of Campania in Italy. Her research focuses on computational studies of turbulent flows using large eddy simulation and wall modeled large eddy simulation with high performance computing, with an emphasis on roughness, separated flows, and complex external aerodynamics.
More recently, her work has expanded to include simulations of marine species in collaboration with Hopkins Marine Station, where she studies the hydrodynamics of cetaceans to estimate drag, gliding energetics, and cost of locomotion across different species and swimming conditions. She is also exploring how computational fluid dynamics can be applied to questions in human physiology, particularly in modeling cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.
She is also involved in facilitating workshops on breathwork, reflecting a broader interest in the role of respiration and its interaction with physiological systems. -
