Jijumon A. S.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am a molecular cell biologist with interdisciplinary training in protein biochemistry, bioengineering, molecular biology, and structural biology. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the laboratory of Manu Prakash at Stanford University. I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biological Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata (IISER-K). Following this, I moved to Europe and joined the Biological Research Centre (BRC) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as an ITC Fellow, where I completed a one-year training program in contemporary experimental biology and state-of-the-art techniques, along with a project on sarcomeric actin regulation in Jozsef Mihaly’s lab. In 2016, I began my doctoral research in Cell Biology and Biochemistry as a Marie Curie Fellow in Carsten Janke’s laboratory at Institut Curie, University of Paris-Saclay. My broader research interests include cytoskeletal regulation, proteomics, and the development of tools for molecular cell biology. I primarily use biochemical and bioengineering approaches to address my research questions. Beyond research, I enjoy reading, flying drones, running, playing pickleball, and driving.

Oliver O. Aalami, MD
Adjunct Professor, Bioengineering
BioDr. Oliver Aalami is a vascular surgeon and the Director of Digital Health at the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign. His primary mission is to advance healthcare access through digital health education, research, and translation. At Stanford, he serves as the course director for Biodesign for Digital Health and Building for Digital Health and is a co-founder of Spezi (formerly CardinalKit), an open-source framework developed to support sensor-based mobile research.
His recent work focuses on the intersection of AI and patient care, including the development of an FDA-cleared open-source computer vision model for opportunistic abdominal aortic diameter quantification on routine CT scans. Additionally, he is developing LLMonFHIR, a system that allows consumers to "chat" with their medical records (FHIR resources) on mobile devices, as well as AI-assisted coaching tools to guide patients through therapy. -
Aaryan Harshith
Undergraduate, Bioengineering
BioFirst-year undergraduate student and aspiring Bioengineering major. Originally from Sudbury, Canada.
Among many things, I'm fascinated by structural virology, medical device development, and the cancerous extracellular matrix. Currently, I'm running a project to develop a novel, broad-spectrum Hepatitis E vaccine at Stanford.

Eric Appel
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe underlying theme of the Appel Lab at Stanford University integrates concepts and approaches from supramolecular chemistry, natural/synthetic materials, and biology. We aim to develop supramolecular biomaterials that exploit a diverse design toolbox and take advantage of the beautiful synergism between physical properties, aesthetics, and low energy consumption typical of natural systems. Our vision is to use these materials to solve fundamental biological questions and to engineer advanced healthcare solutions.

Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced soil carbon sequestration.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot.
