Tara Yasmin Mina
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioTara Mina obtains her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. She received her Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign in 2019 and her Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University in 2017, with summa cum laude honors. For her doctoral thesis, Tara researches strategies to advance the next-generation Global Positioning System (GPS) signal capabilities. Her research focuses on secure, attack-resilient position, navigation, and timing as well as designing new spreading codes for the future GPS signals. She has also been involved with research for designing satellite-based navigation and timing to enable future lunar exploration missions.
As of August 2023, Tara has 22 research publications, including 7 published or accepted journal papers, and a coverpage magazine article. She has also won several awards for her graduate research, including the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship, the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, the Amelia Earhart Fellowship, and 4 Best Presentation of the Session awards. Outside of her research work, Tara has won 2 student teaching awards, including the Centennial Teaching Assistant Award and the AIAA Best Course Assistant Award. She also currently serves as the co-president of Stanford’s Engineering Students for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and has also won the Community Impact Award for her leadership, outreach, and volunteering efforts within the student group.

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.
