Jonathan Massey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioRecently, I completed my PhD at the University of Southampton, where my research focused on the role of surface texture in the hydrodynamics of aquatic locomotion. This project advanced our understanding of the multiscale interactions involved, addressing whether fish scales might actually enhance swimming efficiency.
I have joined Prof. McKeon's group as part of the SAPPHiRe project (Shear stress And Propagating Pressure at High Reynolds). This multi-facility (Stanford, Princeton, and Melbourne) experimental campaign focuses on measurements of wall-pressure and shear-stress fluctuations in high Reynolds number (Re) boundary layers, advancing our understanding of noise and drag in high-Re settings. My role in the project involves modelling these wall quantities using resolvent analysis. Previous models are based on extrapolations from low-Re physics, so I will incorporate new techniques to improve upon these in parallel with the experimental campaign. -

Thibault Vervenne
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Mechanical Engineering
BioThibault Vervenne is a PhD researcher in Soft Tissue Biomechanics, guided by Nele Famaey at KU Leuven (Belgium).
Thibault is currently visiting the Living Matter Lab of Ellen Kuhl, as part of Stanford Bio-X.
His research passion lies in the middle of the scientific triangle connecting engineering, medicine and material science. Thibault combines (I) computer models and simulations in biomechanical engineering, with (II) clinical applications in cardiac surgery, and (III) polymeric medical textiles for cardiovascular applications.
Specifically, Thibault's academical journey is focused on the design and development of a mechanocompatible external support for the Ross procedure. At Stanford, Thibault is therefore working on the automated biomechanical model discovery of cardiovascular tissues and devices through neural networks. -
