Jijumon A. S.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am a molecular cell biologist with interdisciplinary training in protein biochemistry, bioengineering, molecular biology, and structural biology. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the laboratory of Manu Prakash at Stanford University. I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biological Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata (IISER-K). Following this, I moved to Europe and joined the Biological Research Centre (BRC) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as an ITC Fellow, where I completed a one-year training program in contemporary experimental biology and state-of-the-art techniques, along with a project on sarcomeric actin regulation in Jozsef Mihaly’s lab. In 2016, I began my doctoral research in Cell Biology and Biochemistry as a Marie Curie Fellow in Carsten Janke’s laboratory at Institut Curie, University of Paris-Saclay. My broader research interests include cytoskeletal regulation, proteomics, and the development of tools for molecular cell biology. I primarily use biochemical and bioengineering approaches to address my research questions. Beyond research, I enjoy reading, flying drones, running, playing pickleball, and driving.

Geun Ho Ahn
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, specializing in integrated photonics, material sciences, and computational optimization to develop innovative photonic-electronic systems for optical interconnects, metrology, and quantum science.
I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, where I worked with Professor Jelena Vuckovic as a SGF fellow and FMA fellow on integrated photonics system through heterogeneous integration and photonic inverse design. -
Youssef Allouah
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioYoussef Allouah is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University. He is working with Prof. Sanmi Koyejo at the Computer Science department. His research interests are broadly in the principles of trustworthy machine learning, specifically the theory and practice of privacy, robustness, and unlearning.

Michael Baird
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioMike Baird obtained a B.S. in chemistry from University of California, Riverside. He then spent two years in industry at Illumina before resuming his studies at University of California, Berkeley, completing a Ph.D. in chemistry. Mike conducted his doctoral research in the laboratory of Brett Helms at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he synthesized microporous polymer membranes and sorbents for lithium extraction from natural feedstocks which are highly dilute in the target species. He additionally investigated electrolytes for next-generation battery chemistries (i.e., lithium metal anode) with suitable transport and reactivity characteristics for aggressive battery operation.

Abrar Bhat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am investigating the biophysical mechanisms that govern the organization and function of adhesion GPCRs involved in the process of synapse formation. aGPCRs possess dual roles in cell adhesion and signaling. Despite their importance in processes like neuronal synapse formation and association with various neuropsychiatric disorders, the precise mechanisms governing their organization and function at the cell membrane remain enigmatic.

Nikola Blagojevic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioNikola Blagojević is a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Urban Resilience Initiative (SURI) within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on regional recovery modeling and urban disaster resilience assessment.
As part of his doctoral work, Nikola developed pyrecodes, an open-source software for simulating how cities recover from disasters. His broader research interests span earthquake engineering, software development, post-disaster data collection, and climate risk and resilience assessment.
In addition to his academic research, Nikola has collaborated with the insurance industry to improve tools for assessing business interruption losses.
He holds a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (2023) and an M.Sc. (2016) and B.Sc. (2015) in Structural Engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia. -

Rahul Chajwa
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy HFSP project is focussed on understanding the birth, life and death of marine snow. A predictive understanding of the hydrodynamic, biotic, and non-equilibrium aspects of this sinking microbial ecosystem is a notoriously challenging and globally relevant problem and is the central theme of my research at Stanford University. I’m applying my training as a physicist to shed light on the dynamical aspects of microbial life in the ocean, and to contribute insights that can help mitigate the negative impact of human activities on global climate; something I feel strongly about.

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.
