Loza Tadesse
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2016
BioLoza Tadesse is a PhD candidate in Bioengineering at Stanford University under the supervision of Prof. Jennifer Dionne. Her research develops a rapid, all-optical and label free bacterial diagnostic and antibiotic susceptibility testing system that aims to avoid the time consuming culturing step in gold standard methods. Prior to coming to Stanford, she was medical student at St. Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College in Ethiopia, where she had firsthand experience of the gravity of challenges patients and physicians face in resource limited clinical settings leading her to develop a strong interest in engineering point-of-care medical devices. She has obtained her B.A. degree in Chemistry from Minnesota State University Moorhead and her master’s degree in Bioengineering from Stanford University. Loza is a recipient of several awards including the Stanford EDGE, Agilent and DARE fellowships, the 2019 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) career development award and the 2020 BIOX best poster presentation award. She is elected chair of the 2022 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics and co-founder of SciFro Summer School Program, currently a finalist for the Gates Foundation Grand Challenges call to action, on an effort aiming at inspiring local Ethiopian college students to develop point-of-care medical devices. She was a researcher at IBM Almaden research center and Los Alamos National Labs on several projects including, a patented works using bacteria for battery material design.

Longzhi Tan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
BioOriginally from Wuhan, China, Tan received his bachelor’s degree in Physics with a minor in Biology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012, after transferring from Peking University. He worked on bacterial evolution with Jeff Gore, and human evolution with Pardis Sabeti. Tan earned his PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University in 2018. He worked with Xiaoliang Sunney Xie to develop new methods for single-cell genomics. He uncovered the 3D structure of the human genome in a single cell, and revealed unique chromosome organization in the mouse eye and nose. He also attended the Neurobiology summer course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in 2014, and worked with Ibrahim Cisse at MIT in 2019. Tan is currently a postdoctoral scholar in Karl Deisseroth’s lab at Stanford University, studying single-cell 3D genome changes and spatial transcriptome changes in normal behaviors and psychiatric disorders. Outside of the lab, he enjoys designing holiday cards, t-shirts, and music videos, and is a scientific illustrator.

Sindy Tang
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Professor, by courtesy, of Radiology (Precision Health and Integrated Diagnostics)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe long-term goal of Dr. Tang's research program is to harness mass transport in microfluidic systems to accelerate precision medicine and material design for a future with better health and environmental sustainability.
Current research areas include: (I) Physics of droplets in microfluidic systems, (II) Interfacial mass transport and self-assembly, and (III) Applications in food allergy, single-cell wound repair, and the bottom-up construction of synthetic cell and tissues in close collaboration with clinicians and biochemists at the Stanford School of Medicine, UCSF, and University of Michigan.

William Abraham Tarpeh
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, by courtesy, of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioReimagining liquid waste streams as resources can lead to recovery of valuable products and more efficient, less costly approaches to reducing harmful discharges to the environment. Pollutants in effluent streams can be captured and used as valuable inputs to other processes. For example, municipal wastewater contains resources like energy, water, nutrients, and metals. The Tarpeh Lab develops and evaluates novel approaches to resource recovery from “waste” waters at several synergistic scales: molecular mechanisms of chemical transport and transformation; novel unit processes that increase resource efficiency; and systems-level assessments that identify optimization opportunities. We employ understanding of electrochemistry, separations, thermodynamics, kinetics, and reactor design to preferentially recover resources from waste. We leverage these molecular-scale insights to increase the sustainability of engineered processes in terms of energy, environmental impact, and cost.

Laura Taylor-Kale
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Summer 2018
BioLaura is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University.
RESEARCH AREA: Organization, Technology & Entrepreneurship
RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Laura is interested in how technology shapes the emergence of new organizational forms and the adoption of technology in social enterprises and hybrid organizations. She is currently studying the organizational changes occurring in international development finance and the platform social enterprise as an emerging organizational form. Laura has over 18 years’ experience in the public sector including the U.S. Department of Commerce, the World Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the U.S. Department of State as a diplomat. She has lived and worked in India, Cote d’Ivoire, Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Niger, Cameroon, China, and Sri Lanka. She has BA in Anthropology and Economics from Smith College, a Master in Public Affairs from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, and an MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business. She enjoys cooking and baking from scratch, dancing, and cross-country roads trips. -
