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.

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. -
