Jijumon A. S.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am Jijumon, a biologist, mostly trained in molecular biology, cell biology, and protein biochemistry. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in Manu Prakash's lab at Stanford University. I did my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biological Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research-Kolkata (IISER-K). After that, I moved to Europe and worked in the BRC, Hungarian Academy of Sciences as an ITC fellow. There I did a one-year training course on contemporary experimental biology and state-of-the-art techniques, together with a project in sarcomeric actin regulation. In 2016, I moved to Paris and started my Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Marie Curie fellow) in Carsten Janke's lab at Institut Curie, University of Paris-Saclay. My broader research interests are cytoskeleton, tool development, and proteomics. I use both biochemical and bioengineering tools to tackle my project. Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy activities such as reading, photography, shuttle badminton, and cycling.

Jacqueline Alderson
Visiting Professor, Bioengineering
BioProfessor Jacqueline Alderson is the Tech Director of the University of Western Australia Tech & Policy Lab and a Fulbright Senior Scholar and Visiting Professor at Stanford University. She has over 250 publications and reports in the fields of biomechanical modelling, wearable technologies, applied machine learning, injury prevention, and pro-public technology development. From 2012-23 she served on the Executive Councils of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sport, followed by the International Society of Biomechanics. Her current advisory board roles include the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Female Performance Health Initiative as well as the UK EPSRC Centre, CAMERA 2.0. Her 26 PhD graduates can be found in leading heath, academic, and high-performance and professional sport institutions around the world. These include the MLB and NFL in the United States; national sports institutes (Singapore, UK, AUS); and, in her home country, Swimming Australia, Tennis Australia, and the Australian Football League. As one of the founding architects of Australia’s Digital Athlete program and the ISBS Geoffrey Dyson awardee for 2024, Jacqueline is visiting Stanford Bioengineering to extend her research stream on the development of digital human twins, with a specific focus on the urgent need for technology regulation and governance in this domain. Her project is supported by the American Chamber of Commerce in Australia (Inaugural Professional Alliance Award) and the Fulbright Commission.
