Alaa Eldin Abdelaal
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioAlaa Eldin Abdelaal is a postdoctoral scholar at the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University, working with Prof. Allison Okamura and Prof. Jeannette Bohg. He received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in December 2022. He was also a visiting graduate scholar at the Computational Interaction and Robotics Lab at Johns Hopkins University. During his PhD, he was co-advised by Prof. Tim Salcudean and Prof. Gregory Hager. He holds a M.Sc. in Computing Science from Simon Fraser University and a B.Sc. in Computer and Systems Engineering from Mansoura University in Egypt. His research interests are at the intersection of automation and human-robot interaction for human skill augmentation and decision support with application to surgical robotics. His research has been recognized with the Best Bench-to-Bedside Paper Award at the International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions (IPCAI) 2019. His research has been funded by a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, Intuitive Surgical Inc., and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) at Stanford University.

Lorenza Garau Paganella
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioLorenza was born in Italy in 1997 and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University with Prof. Chaudhuri, supported by an SNSF fellowship. Her research focuses on engineering biomaterials to investigate cell–extracellular matrix interactions and mechanotransduction in 2D and 3D cell cultures, aiming to advance biomedical understanding of tissue remodeling and disease.
Lorenza obtained her PhD (2024) in Mechanical and Process Engineering from ETH Zurich, where she developed hydrogel scaffolds and protocols for protein isolation to study cell behavior in engineered microenvironments.
Before her PhD, Lorenza completed her MSc at ETH Zurich and BSc at University of Trieste in Process Engineering, graduating both cum laude. During this time her focus was on biomaterials for drug delivery which she complemented with an internship in Roche. She has worked in interdisciplinary teams combining engineering and biology and is motivated by research that bridges fundamental science with clinical impact. -
Aoife Henry
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioAoife Henry earned her doctorate in Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder, funded by and in collaboration with the wind energy control systems team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). During her doctorate, she applied her joint specializations of machine learning and control systems to implement and validate forecast-enabled wind energy controllers using state-of-the-art time-series forecasting models. She is now working to commercialize and scale this technology under the wing of the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator Fellowship at the Doerr School of Sustainability.
