Mariya Mardamshina
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioMariya Mardamshina, MD, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Bioengineering, working in Prof. Emma Lundberg's lab. She earned her medical degree from Semey State Medical University and completed her PhD at Tel Aviv University, where her research focused on spatial inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity in breast cancer using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Currently, her work in the Lundberg lab centers on deciphering cell-to-cell proteomic variability within a spatial framework. Her research involves developing integrated pipelines that combine automated multiplexed staining, high-resolution microscopy, artificial intelligence, and ultra-high sensitivity mass spectrometry to achieve comprehensive proteomic analyses.

Alessandra Massa
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioAlessandra Massa (she/her/hers)
Visiting PhD Student, Basque Culinary Center
Alessandra is a PhD student in Gastronomic Sciences at the Basque Culinary Center (Mondragon University). Her doctoral work focuses on exploring filamentous fungi as sustainable food sources to enhance gastronomic biodiversity. She aims to bridge science and gastronomy by integrating analytical chemistry, microbial biotechnology, sensory analysis, and food product development to find sustainable solutions to the way we eat. She has worked as a teacher of food development and technology at the Basque Culinary Center and as a food scientist at Esencia Foods, a startup focused on developing mycelium-based seafood alternatives. Alessandra has also collaborated on science-driven gastronomy projects in Michelin-starred restaurants such as Azurmendi, Mugaritz, and Culler de Pau, where fermentation is used as a tool to create new products and reduce food waste. Her favorite fungi are Rhizopus oligosporus and Neurospora intermedia, known for their ability to develop rich aromas and textures in novel food products. -
Jonathan Massey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioI completed my PhD at the University of Southampton, where my research focused on the role of surface texture in the hydrodynamics of aquatic locomotion. This project advanced our understanding of the multiscale interactions involved, addressing whether fish scales might actually enhance swimming efficiency.
I have joined Prof. McKeon's group as part of the SAPPHiRE project (Shear stress And Propagating Pressure in High Reynolds Experiments). This multi-facility (Stanford, Princeton, and Melbourne) experimental campaign focuses on measurements of wall-pressure and shear-stress fluctuations in high Reynolds number boundary layers, advancing our understanding of noise and drag in high-Re settings. My involvement is in the modelling and theory for wall-pressure fluctuations and their origins in the velocity field. Previous models are based on extrapolations from low-Re physics, so I will incorporate new techniques to improve upon these in parallel with the experimental campaign. -
Conor McClune
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioI develop systematic approaches for studying the plasticity of life at the molecular level, especially the bioactive compounds in plants we consume as food or medicine.

Anay Mehrotra
Postdoctoral Scholar, Management Science and Engineering
BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford, where I am excited to work with Amin Saberi. I completed my Ph.D. at Yale University where I was fortunate to be advised by Amin Karbasi and Manolis Zampetakis.
My research focuses on machine learning under complex conditions where traditional assumptions break down. My work has two parts. First, I develop foundations for machine learning with missing and selectively observed data (spanning causal inference, limited-dependence, truncated statistics, and omissions shaped by societal biases). Second, I study why generative AI systems (including language models) are effective and design methods to evaluate and improve their safety.
My work has received the Best Paper Award at COLT, been featured in WIRED, and received the Sir Binay Kumar Sinha award from IIT Kanpur. As an undergraduate, I represented IIT Kanpur at the ICPC World Final. While at Yale, I also taught at the Yale ICPC Club. -
Simona Meiler
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am a weather and climate risk scientist, studying how hazard, exposure, and vulnerability interact to shape the risks and impacts of extreme weather events – both today and in a changing climate. My work combines modeling and systems thinking to explore a range of topics, including tropical cyclone risk, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, human displacement, post-disaster recovery, and systemic risk. My approach is inherently interdisciplinary, with the goal of translating model insights into real-world applications that support climate-resilient decision-making.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, supported by an SNSF Postdoc.Mobility fellowship, working with Prof. Jack W. Baker. I completed my PhD at ETH Zurich in weather and climate risk modeling, with a focus on global tropical cyclone risk and uncertainty quantification, under the supervision of Prof. David N. Bresch. -
Mohammad Javad Mirshojaeian Hosseini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioWith over Seven years of experience, my work focuses on designing, fabricating, and characterizing flexible nanostructures and organic neuromorphic circuits. My expertise extends to hands-on experience in ISO 4 cleanrooms and fabrication labs, employing a variety of techniques such as electron beam and thermal PVD, ALD, sputtering, photolithography, CVD, profilometry, and wet chemical processing. I have a strong foundation in advanced materials and technologies, including neuromorphic systems, nanofabrication, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip technologies, printing electronics, and organic nanoelectronics.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, where I explore stretchable neuromorphic e-skin and flexible electronics, particularly for biopotential monitoring and soft robotics applications. My multidisciplinary expertise enables me to contribute to projects that combine neuromorphic computing, smart materials, and neuroscience. These align with my long-term research goals of advancing neuromorphic systems and developing novel technologies at the interface of artificial intelligence, smart materials, and organic electronics.
