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. -

Jordan Moore
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioJordan Moore is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, appointed in both the Departments of Materials Science & Engineering and Neurology. He earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, where he was mentored by Dr. Daniel Gallego Perez. During his doctoral studies, Jordan's research primarily centered around the application of electroporation for gene delivery in vivo, with a specific focus on cell-reprogramming.
His work in his Ph.D. program aimed to address the restoration of blood flow to damaged peripheral nerves, contributing to the promotion of nerve regeneration and functional recovery. As a postdoctoral researcher, Jordan is currently co-mentored by Professor Sarah Heilshorn and Dr. Marion Buckwalter. In this role, he is dedicated to the development of innovative biomaterial-based platforms for gene and drug delivery. His research focuses on the treatment of stroke-related injuries and the prevention of cognitive decline. -
Mete Muslu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioA. Mete Muslu received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Ozyegin University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018 and 2020, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA, in 2025.

Juyoung Oh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioJuyoung Oh is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University. Her research focuses on understanding and harnessing thermal runaway phenomena in rechargeable batteries to enable controllable propulsion thrust. With a strong background in the thermochemical analysis of metal-based solid energetic materials, her work aims to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing thermal runaway in lithium-metal batteries, with particular emphasis on interfacial chemistry and thermodynamic behavior. Through this approach, she seeks to integrate battery and thruster functionalities into a unified system, advancing next-generation aerospace–battery technologies.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Oh was a Postdoctoral Associate at Rice University. She received her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU). Her academic achievements include the Best Doctoral Thesis Award (2022) and the Korean-American Women in Science and Engineering (KWiSE) Young Scientist Scholarship (2025). -
