Tom Bowman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioProfessor Bowman studies reacting flows, primarily through experimental means, and the processes by which pollutants are formed and destroyed in flames. In addition, he is interested in the environmental impact of energy use, specifically greenhouse gas emissions from use of fossil fuels.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the physics of cell migration, division, and morphogenesis in 3D, as well cell-matrix mechanotransduction, or the process by which cells sense and respond to mechanical properties of the extracellular matrices. For both these areas, we use engineered biomaterials for 3D culture as artificial extracellular matrices.

Jianqing Chen
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Design
Visiting Scholar, Mechanical Engineering - DesignBioI work on robotic remote control and manipulation systems utilizing reinforcement learning (RL). My focus is on developing RL-based algorithms that enable robots to learn optimal control strategies for tasks such as navigation, object manipulation, and interaction with dynamic environments. By training robots through trial and error, these systems continuously improve their performance, adapting to new situations and enhancing autonomous control. The goal is to achieve more efficient and precise robot behavior in real-world applications.
I worked over 7 years in investment and asset management. I lead 280 Capital, a Multi-Family Office with over $600M under management, focus on digital assets and cutting-edge technologies.
I have a strong background in AI, Storage, Encryption etc. I am in the great team to do designs in the latest enterprise-grade storage SSD system chips, from 16nm to 7nm, at Broadcom and SK Hynix. I also led the construction and optimization of large-scale biodata software and hardware data architectures at Roche to support scalable advanced DNA sequencing computations. I hold multiple U.S. patents, using various methods such as deep learning and AI to improve storage and computing efficiency. -
Woongbi Cho
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioWoongbi Cho is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He received his B.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering from Inha University in February 2019 , and his Ph.D. in Organic and Nano Engineering from Hanyang University in February 2025. His doctoral research focused on developing next-generation polymer composites, emphasizing processing-structure-property-performance (PSPP) relationships in liquid crystalline and sulfur-rich polymers. Currently, Woongbi's research interests center on adaptive materials, electromagnetically (EM)-driven soft robotics, polymer assembly mechanisms, and active metamaterials for applications in soft robotics, optoelectronics, and energy harvesting.
