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.

Michael Baird
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioMike Baird obtained a B.S. in chemistry from University of California, Riverside. He then spent two years in industry at Illumina before resuming his studies at University of California, Berkeley, completing a Ph.D. in chemistry. Mike conducted his doctoral research in the laboratory of Brett Helms at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he synthesized microporous polymer membranes and sorbents for lithium extraction from natural feedstocks which are highly dilute in the target species. He additionally investigated electrolytes for next-generation battery chemistries (i.e., lithium metal anode) with suitable transport and reactivity characteristics for aggressive battery operation.

Nikola Blagojevic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioNikola Blagojević is a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Urban Resilience Initiative (SURI) within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on regional recovery modeling and urban disaster resilience assessment.
As part of his doctoral work, Nikola developed pyrecodes, an open-source software for simulating how cities recover from disasters. His broader research interests span earthquake engineering, software development, post-disaster data collection, and climate risk and resilience assessment.
In addition to his academic research, Nikola has collaborated with the insurance industry to improve tools for assessing business interruption losses.
He holds a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (2023) and an M.Sc. (2016) and B.Sc. (2015) in Structural Engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia. -

Woongbi Cho
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioWoongbi Cho is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He received his B.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering from Inha University in February 2019 , and his Ph.D. in Organic and Nano Engineering from Hanyang University in February 2025. His doctoral research focused on developing next-generation polymer composites, emphasizing processing-structure-property-performance (PSPP) relationships in liquid crystalline and sulfur-rich polymers. Currently, Woongbi's research interests center on adaptive materials, electromagnetically (EM)-driven soft robotics, polymer assembly mechanisms, and active metamaterials for applications in soft robotics, optoelectronics, and energy harvesting.

Rafaela Da Silva Presa
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Mechanical Engineering
BioRafaela is a master in Bioengineering (Molecular Biotechnology branch) since 2019 by Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto, Portugal (FEUP)/ School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences of University of Porto (ICBAS) with her MSc thesis done in the field of biomaterials for bone cancer treatment and regeneration simultaneously.
Rafaela is performing her PhD project in Biofabrication Group in the Institute for Innovation and Research in Health from University of Porto (i3s). The project is focused on the development of mechano-modulatory 3D in vitro model of human skin fibrosis. Currently, Rafaela is doing a period abroad at Chaudhuri Lab, Mechanical Engineering department at Stanford University, to study the impact of viscoelasticity in fibroblast fate and activation.
Moreover, she is enrolled in the International Doctoral Program in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology Applied to Health Sciences (BiotechHealth) in ICBAS from University of Porto.
Her multidisciplinary background in bioengineering and biomaterials allowed her to develop strong skills in complementary research areas ranging from materials synthesis and biofabrication to cellular biology.
Rafaela has excellent communication skills and experience in presenting scientific data in national and international meetings. -
Gauri Desai
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioDr. Gauri Desai is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Female Athlete Science and Translational Research Program (FASTR). She is a biomechanist, with a research focus on female-specific biomechanical risk factors for sport-related injuries. She integrates biomechanics principles with physiology to provide an all-round perspective on improving performance and mitigating injury risk in female athletes. Dr. Desai's research complements human subject experiments with insights from computer modeling and simulation, to answer research questions that are challenging to address via human subject research studies alone. Beyond research, she is an active contributor to the sports science community through mentorship and advocacy for women in sport.

Duncan Eddy
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioDuncan Eddy is a research fellow in the Stanford University Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He completed his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Stanford, funded by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. His current research is focused on decision-making in safety-critical, climate, and space systems, where operational decisions must be made quickly and correctly in complex environments while still being explainable and understandable by human stakeholders.
He is currently the Executive Director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety, and a post-doctoral researcher with appointments in Mineral-X and the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory (SISL).
Prior to this, He started and led the Spacecraft Operations Group at Capella Space, the first US Commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar Earth Imaging constellation. There he developed the first fully-automated mission operations system, realizing lights-out tasking-to-delivery of radar satellite data for a commercial constellation. He subsequently started and led the Constellation Operations and Space Safety Groups at Project Kuiper. Most recently, he was a Principal Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services, where he worked on building software services for large-scale distributed edge compute applications. -
