Tianyang Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioBorn in southeastern China, I went to Beijing for undergraduate education after spending 18 years in Zhejiang province. At Peking university, I conducted research in the field of organometallic chemistry in Prof. Zhenfeng Xi's lab in College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering (CCME). Hoping to achieve more in chemical research, I went abroad to the east coast of the US and became a graduate student in Chemistry Department of MIT, under the supervision of Prof. Mircea Dincᾰ. My research interests during graduate school span from electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks and porous organic polymers to electrochemcial energy storage using organic or organic/inorganic hybrid materials. After 6 years at MIT, I traveled accross the country (by driving) to the west coast and am currently a postdoctoral scholar in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab, working on developing polymeric materials for electrochemical interphase in batteries.

Kyun Kyu Kim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioKyun Kyu (Richard) Kim is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University in Zhenan Bao research group. He received his Ph.D. from Seoul National University in 2021, Mechanical Engineering. He developed a series of soft human skin-like electronic devices which are enhanced by AI algorithms that incorporate both hardware and algorithmic efficiency. These devices comprise soft skin sensors that conformably adheres with the user’s skin, replacing conventional devices that are both bulky and complex. When combined with AI algorithms, these devices enable a single sensory component to generate highly informative signals that would otherwise require numerous sensory units.

Jorge Osio Norgaard
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioDr. Osio-Norgaard was born in Caracas, Venezuela and immigrated to the United States in 2004. He has an undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in civil engineering (2016), and earned his Masters in civil engineering (2019) and PhD in mechanical engineering (2022) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is broadly interested in materials characterization, the development of novel cementitious binders, and in-situ resource utilization for the development of off-planet materials.

Jian Xiong
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioI thrive to understand the roles of lysosomes in physiological and pathological conditions. Lysosomes are both degradation compartment and metabolic controlling hub, and dysregulation of lysosomal functions are frequently implicated in a vast number of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, however, the systematic knowledge of the molecular mechanism by which lysosomal contributes to these diseases is lacking. Ion channels are the primary mediators of neuronal activity, defects in neuronal ion channel activity are linked with many kinds of neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, besides typical ion channels that are involved in the neuronal activity, defects in lysosomal ion channels, such as TRPML1, CLN7 and CLC-7 are also implicated in neuropathy. My previous work as Ph.D student in University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center focused on regulation of lysosomal function by ion channels and metabolites. I discovered a mechanism of lysosomal Na+ channel regulate mTORC1 activation by regulating lysosomal amino acid accumulation. I also discovered role of glutamine in controlling lysosomal degradation capacity. In the meantime, I developed novel methods to isolate organelles. My ultimate research goal is to understand the key developmental pathways and how alterations in gene sequences and expression contribute to human disease, therefore, I am pursuing independent academic researcher as my career goal. Starting Feb 2022, I work with Dr. Monther Abu-Remaileh at Stanford University on role of lysosomes in neurodegenerative diseases. I use genetics, chemical biology and omics approaches to study lysosome function under various physiological and pathological conditions, especially age-associated neurodegenerative disorders, and monogenic neurodegenerative lysosome storage diseases. In Stanford, I aim to integrate ionic regulation, metabolomic regulation and functional proteomic regulation to systematically understand the biology of lysosome in physiological conditions and pathological conditions.
