Shahaf Armon Shilon
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsIn my post-doc work, I study emerged mechanics and coordination through contractility in biological tissues. Specifically, I study the organism Trichoplax Adhaerens, considered the simplest animal known to live today. Despite having no nerves or muscles, it is capable of remarkable coordination. In addition, its top epithelium, despite being ultra-thin (<1um) and lacking infrastructure (ECM or BM) is capable of extreme resilience to external stresses,and maintenance of tissue integrity.

Nils Averesch
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioDr. Nils Averesch is a Postdoc in the Criddle Group, funded by the Stanford Natural Gas Initiative. As member of the Center for the Utilization of Biological Engineering in Space (CUBES) he focuses on engineering gas-fermenting microbes towards production of aromatic polyesters. Before joining Stanford, Nils was task lead of Synthetic Biology with Universities Space Research Association as an Associate Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center.
Nils received his PhD in 2016 from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, where he focused on Metabolic Engineering at the Centre for Microbial Electrochemical Systems. He holds an engineer’s degree (Dipl. Ing.) in Biochemical Engineering, from the Technical University of Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany, having graduated in 2012. -
Eneko Axpe Iza
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Materials Science and Engineering
BioEneko Axpe's work is at the interface of materials science, nanomedicine and physics. A major focus is the design, fabrication and characterization of hydrogels and nanocomposites for tissue engineering and drug delivery, as well as the study of mathematical models to predict their behavior. At NASA, Eneko is also developing biomaterials to treat the spaceflight-induced bone loss in astronauts.
Eneko obtained his PhD in Materials Science 2015 at the University of the Basque Country – UPV/EHU, pursuing part of his doctoral research at the University of Oxford (Department of Physics). In 2016, Eneko became a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge (Department of Engineering). He also worked as Supervisor of Mechanics at Clare College, University of Cambridge. Two years later, Eneko moved to California to work in an interdisciplinary joint research project between the Appel Lab at Stanford Engineering and NASA (AMES Research Center). -
Levent Beker
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Chemical Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher working with Professor Zhenan Bao . My research interest is to develop implantable and wearable medical devices to make life easier for people in need by using stretchable, biodegradable materials and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology.
I received my PhD from Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley and worked on MEMS energy harvesters for neural implants and harsh environment sensors. I received BSc and MSc degrees from Middle East Technical University, Turkey, where I invented the self-powered and fully implantable cochlear implant. -

Veronica Brand
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
BioAs a microbiologist and environmental engineer, Veronica Brand is a Ph.D. candidate studying the microbial ecology of wastewater treatment. In her work, she applies molecular tools to troubleshoot upsets at a local treatment plant and is elucidating the role of a specific glycogen-accumulating organism in these upsets. Veronica’s work will create diagnostic tools for monitoring and prevention of low quality effluent.
Veronica received her Master’s in Environmental Engineering from Stanford University. Prior to that, she completed her B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry, also at Stanford University. -
