Rafaela Da Silva Presa
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Mechanical Engineering
BioRafaela is a master in Bioengineering (Molecular Biotechnology branch) since 2019 by Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto, Portugal (FEUP)/ School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences of University of Porto (ICBAS) with her MSc thesis done in the field of biomaterials for bone cancer treatment and regeneration simultaneously.
Rafaela is performing her PhD project in Biofabrication Group in the Institute for Innovation and Research in Health from University of Porto (i3s). The project is focused on the development of mechano-modulatory 3D in vitro model of human skin fibrosis. Currently, Rafaela is doing a period abroad at Chaudhuri Lab, Mechanical Engineering department at Stanford University, to study the impact of viscoelasticity in fibroblast fate and activation.
Moreover, she is enrolled in the International Doctoral Program in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology Applied to Health Sciences (BiotechHealth) in ICBAS from University of Porto.
Her multidisciplinary background in bioengineering and biomaterials allowed her to develop strong skills in complementary research areas ranging from materials synthesis and biofabrication to cellular biology.
Rafaela has excellent communication skills and experience in presenting scientific data in national and international meetings. -

David Davidson
Sr Research Engineer, Mechanical Engineering
BioEducation
University of Toronto Physics B.S (1978)
University of Toronto Aerospace Sciences M.Sc. (1980)
York University Physics Ph.D. (1986)
Appointment:
1986-present Senior Research Engineer, Mechanical Engineering Department
Research Activities:
Dr. Davidson’s research interests span the fields of gas dynamics and combustion kinetics. During his tenure at Stanford University he investigated the chemical kinetics of combustion using a wide array of optical and laser-based diagnostic methods and advanced the use of these diagnostics in shock tubes. He co-authored over 350 research publications with his students and Professor Ronald Hanson. He continues to advise and mentor the graduate students who use shock tubes in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratories. An overview of the shock tube studies performed at Stanford under Prof. Hanson’s and Dr. Davidson’s supervision can be found in the report entitled “Fundamental Kinetics Database Utilizing Shock Tube Measurements” available at http://purl.stanford.edu/kb621cw6967.
He claims he is now retired, but apparently, he is still working. -

Matthew R. Edwards
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.
Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. -
Vivian Feig
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering
BioThe Feig lab aims to develop low-cost, noninvasive, and widely-accessible medical technologies that integrate seamlessly with the human body. We accomplish this by developing functional materials and devices with dynamic mechanical properties, leveraging chemistry and physics insights to engineer novel systems at multiple length scales. In pursuit of our goals, we maintain a strong emphasis on integrity and diversity, while nurturing the intellectual curiosity and holistic growth of our team members as researchers, communicators, and leaders.
