Xiaojing Gao
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHow do we design biological systems as “smart medicine” that sense patients’ states, process the information, and respond accordingly? To realize this vision, we will tackle fundamental challenges across different levels of complexity, such as (1) protein components that minimize their crosstalk with human cells and immunogenicity, (2) biomolecular circuits that function robustly in different cells and are easy to deliver, (3) multicellular consortia that communicate through scalable channels, and (4) therapeutic modules that interface with physiological inputs/outputs. Our engineering targets include biomolecules, molecular circuits, viruses, and cells, and our approach combines quantitative experimental analysis with computational simulation. The molecular tools we build will be applied to diverse fields such as neurobiology and cancer therapy.

Josué García Ávila
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Summer 2022
BioJosué García-Ávila, a highly accomplished individual from Guerrero, Mexico, boasts a strong educational background, having earned a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Universidad Anáhuac and a Master’s degree in Manufacturing Systems from Tecnológico de Monterrey. As a graduate student in the Advanced Manufacturing Research Group, Josué excelled and was recognized with an academic scholarship from the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico (CONACyT).
Josué's expertise in the field of engineering is further highlighted by his successful career in the automotive industry, where he worked as a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer (Machining & Assembly) at Bocar Group for several years. In addition to his professional achievements, Josué also demonstrated his commitment to making a positive impact, having lived in Costa Rica for two years where he dedicated himself to humanitarian work.
His passion for innovation and technology shines through in his current research interests, which include exploring the data-driven mechanics of architected, multifunctional, sustainable, soft, and stretchable materials to create mimetic artificial living matter for biomedical applications and beyond. His impressive research accomplishments are evidenced by his first-author publications.
Josué's dedication to his field and drive for success has not gone unnoticed. He has been awarded the EDGE Doctoral Fellowship, by nomination of the graduate admissions committee and most recently awarded the prestigious Claudio X. Gonzalez Graduate Fellowship to pursue PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the prestigious Stanford School of Engineering.
