Theresa Lynn Johnson
Lecturer
BioProf. Theresa Johnson has a BS in Science, Technology and Society and an MS and PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University. She’s been published in the fields of robotics, machine learning and plasma physics.
After her PhD, she joined Airbnb as a Data Scientist where she focused on supply growth and quality using natural language processing, image recognition and AI. She transitioned to Product Manager where she led multiple cross-functional teams focused on core processing micro-services, blockchain and infusing AI to create delightful user experiences.
Prof. Johnson is the lecturer for MS&E 165: Introduction to Product Management in winter quarter.
Theresa also angel invests in AI/ML technology platforms and consumer marketplaces. She cares deeply about advancing the careers of women in technology.
Theresa lives in Bernal Heights, San Francisco with her husband, two daughters, her rescued catahoula hound, Amelie, and rescued bunnies, Bill and Jessi. -
Felipe Jornada
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
BioFelipe Jornada's research aims at predicting and understanding excited-state phenomena in quantum and energy materials. In order to make reliable predictions on novel materials, he relies on high-performance computer calculations based on parameter-free, quantum-mechanical theories that are developed in his group. He is interested in studying fundamental aspects of these excitations – their lifetimes, dynamics, and stability/binding energies – and how they can be engineered in novel materials, such as nanostructured and low-dimensional systems. His ultimate goal is to use insights from atomistic calculations to rationally design new materials with applications in energy research, electronics, optoelectronics, and quantum technologies.
Felipe received his Ph.D. degree in physics from UC Berkeley in 2017 under the advice of Prof. Steven G. Louie. His Ph.D. research focused on the prediction of the electronic and optical properties of new quasi-two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. In his postdoc, he studied a number of problems related to multiparticle excitations in low-dimensional materials, including biexcitons and plasmons. Felipe joined the Stanford faculty in January 2020 and an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
