BioDr. Saman Farhangdoust is pursuing the goal of using his interdisciplinary knowledge to advance the Smart City and Space concept and make a lasting impact on society. He enjoys venturing into new disciplines to combine cutting-edge technologies and develop novel solutions to today’s structural safety problems.
As a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, Saman works on multi-functional materials and smart structures with particular emphases on intelligent self-sensing diagnostics and integrated health management for space and aircraft structures.
Outside of his research at Stanford, Saman is collaborating with MIT Media Lab as a Technical Consultant and also with Boeing Research and Technology as a Research Consultant to advance sensing and structural health monitoring systems.
Saman is considered a talented young researcher who has made valuable multidisciplinary contributions at an international level. These research activities have led to more than 40 publications including journal articles, conference proceedings, a textbook, U.S. Patents, national reports and guidelines to date. -
Farnaz "Naz" Ghaedipour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Management Science and Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University at the Centre for Work, Technology, and Organization (WTO), advised by Arvind Karunakaran. I earned my PhD in Management of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from McMaster University, under Erin Reid’s supervision.
I study how technological changes in the organization of work (e.g., the advent of AI and digital platforms) and the rise of the gig economy combine with norms and ideal images of work (e.g., authenticity, passion, entrepreneurialism) to shape the structure, organization, and experience of work. I primarily use qualitative research methods, including interviews, participant observation, and ethnography. To approach the individual phenomena as embedded in the contextual structure, I often complement the data derived from interviews and observations with contextual information derived from secondary data sources (e.g., archival and walk-through data). Occupations studied include Instagram content creators, journalists, Upwork freelancers, software engineers, and graphic designers.
I was a finalist in the 2021 INFORMS/Organization Science Dissertation Proposal Competition and the recipient of the SSHRC post-doctoral fellowship (2022), Ontario Graduate Fellowship (2021), and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (2020). -

Carlos Gonzalez Hernandez
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHe has worked on high-speed flows and wall-bounded turbulence. In particular, he is interested in the application of quasilinear and generalized quasilinear approximations to the study of wall-bounded turbulent flows. At Stanford, he works on hypersonics and data-driven methods, among others.

Nicholas Guesken
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioNicholas is a postdoctoral research fellow in Prof. Mark Brongersma’s group at the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM), Stanford University. His research is supported by a science fellowship from the German National Academy of Science - Leopoldina. His research interests include nanophotonics, optoelectronics, plasmonics, photonic integration, quantum photonics, nonlinear optics, photon-emitter interfaces, emission enhancement of quantum emitters, active metasurfaces, and phase change materials.
Nicholas is an experimental condensed matter physicist. After obtaining Master's degrees in Physics (RWTH Aachen) and Nanotechnology (Sorbonne), Nicholas began his Ph.D. at Imperial College London. During his Ph.D., he focused on light-matter interaction on the nanoscale, hot-carrier photodetection, and hybrid photonic-plasmonic waveguides. His supervisors were Prof. Stefan Maier and Prof. Rupert Oulton. He completed his Ph.D. in 2020, for which he was awarded the Imperial College Solid State Physics Thesis Prize 2020 for the best thesis. Shortly after, he joined a startup company in Switzerland working on the development of high-speed optical interconnects.
In 2021, he was awarded the competitive Science Fellowship from the German National Academy of Science - Leopoldina, which has been supporting his research at Stanford. At Stanford University, he works on active solid-state optical interfaces with two main research directions: i) quantum emitter control in integrated photonic networks and ii) reconfigurable beam steering in phase change material-based metasurfaces. -
Sarallah Hamtaei
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Electrical Engineering
BioSarallah Hamtaei obtained his M.Sc. in Sustainable Materials from the University of Freiburg. He is now an FWO doctoral fellow at imec in Belgium, researching the growth and characterization of thin film chalcogenides on flexible substrates, for integrated energy applications. En route to Stanford, he interned at i.a., PDI Berlin to work on wide bandgap nanowires and at Fraunhofer IPMS to study silicide BEoL interconnects. Sarallah is currently a visiting scholar at the laboratory of Prof. Eric Pop, where he contributes to developing novel flexible optoelectronic devices based on transition metal dichalcogenides.

Nicos Haralabidis
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioMy research interests lie within both sports and clinical biomechanics applications. I rely upon merging conventional biomechanical in vivo measurements together with state-of-the-art musculoskeletal modeling and optimal control simulation approaches. The integrative approach I take enables me to understand how an individual may run faster, jump further, walk following surgery or intervention, and simultaneously estimate internal body dynamics noninvasively. As a Postdoctoral Research Scholar within the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance I aim to explore how stochastic optimal control and reinforcement learning methods can be applied to further our understanding of sporting performance.

Anh Tuan Hoang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioAnh Tuan Hoang is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where he is working with Prof. Eric Pop and Prof. Andrew Mannix. Hoang received his Ph.D. (2022) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University and his M.S. (2016) in Bionano Engineering from Hanyang University, supported by the BK21+ Fellowship. Before that, he earned his B.S. degree (2014) in Chemical Engineering from Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Hoang's research interests span various fields, including colorimetric sensors, chemical analysis, displays, flexible and wearable devices, crystallography, and semiconductor physics. During his time at Stanford, he focused primarily on the wafer-scale synthesis and characterization of 2D semiconductors.
