Chiara Saggese
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Mechanical Engineering
BioChiara Saggese is a postdoctoral research fellow in the NanoEnergy laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University. Her research interests include the study of gas-phase reaction kinetics in laminar flames and the flame synthesis of carbon nanoparticle (CNPs, or soot). More specifically, her work combines experimental and modeling methodologies to increase predictability of fundamental chemical and aerosol models and improve designs of nanomaterials with unique and tailored properties, mostly having to do with energy and biomedical applications. She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in 2015 and she was a recipient of the Swiss Excellence Postdoctoral Scholarship in 2015-2016 in EPFL (Switzerland).

J Kenneth Salisbury, Jr.
Professor (Research) of Computer Science and of Surgery (Anatomy), Emeritus
BioSalisbury worked on the development of the Stanford-JPL Robot Hand, the JPL Force Reflecting Hand Controller, the MIT-WAM arm, and the Black Falcon Surgical Robot. His work with haptic interface technology led to the founding of SensAble Technology, producers of the PHANToM haptic interface and software. He also worked on the development of telerobotic systems for dexterity enhancement in the operating room. His current research focuses on human-machine interaction, cooperative haptics, medical robotics, and surgical simulation.
