Jijumon A. S.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am Jijumon, a biologist, mostly trained in molecular biology, cell biology, and protein biochemistry. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in Manu Prakash's lab at Stanford University. I did my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biological Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research-Kolkata (IISER-K). After that, I moved to Europe and worked in the BRC, Hungarian Academy of Sciences as an ITC fellow. There I did a one-year training course on contemporary experimental biology and state-of-the-art techniques, together with a project in sarcomeric actin regulation. In 2016, I moved to Paris and started my Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Marie Curie fellow) in Carsten Janke's lab at Institut Curie, University of Paris-Saclay. My broader research interests are cytoskeleton, tool development, and proteomics. I use both biochemical and bioengineering tools to tackle my project. Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy activities such as reading, photography, shuttle badminton, and cycling.

Marta Arenas Jal
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioMarta holds a PhD in Drug Research and Development and an Executive MBA, with additional postgraduate studies in healthcare innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology transfer. She is passionate about healthcare research and innovation, with a strong track record of successfully translating research and innovation into real-world impact. She is a curious, creative, and open-minded individual who is always seeking to solve complex problems to make a positive impact on patients' lives.
In the early stages of her career, she served as Director of R&D in the pharmaceutical industry, successfully driving product development and market launch initiatives. She later joined CIMTI, a health startup accelerator, where she supported innovators in developing and implementing solutions that improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes. Currently, Marta is a Healtchare Innovator and Assistant Director at Impact1, a Stanford Biodesign initiative focused on advancing innovation in pediatric and maternal health. -
Sebastian Ares de Parga Regalado
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, 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.

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.

Abrar Bhat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am investigating the biophysical mechanisms that govern the organization and function of adhesion GPCRs involved in the process of synapse formation. aGPCRs possess dual roles in cell adhesion and signaling. Despite their importance in processes like neuronal synapse formation and association with various neuropsychiatric disorders, the precise mechanisms governing their organization and function at the cell membrane remain enigmatic.

Rahul Chajwa
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy HFSP project is focussed on understanding the birth, life and death of marine snow. A predictive understanding of the hydrodynamic, biotic, and non-equilibrium aspects of this sinking microbial ecosystem is a notoriously challenging and globally relevant problem and is the central theme of my research at Stanford University. I’m applying my training as a physicist to shed light on the dynamical aspects of microbial life in the ocean, and to contribute insights that can help mitigate the negative impact of human activities on global climate; something I feel strongly about.
