Grace Gao
Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioGrace Gao is an associate professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in the Electrical Engineering Department. She leads the Navigation and Autonomous Vehicles Laboratory (NAV Lab) and serves as co-director of the Stanford AI Safety Center and co-lead of the Stanford SystemX Robotics area. Her research focuses on robust and secure perception, localization, and navigation, with applications in crewed and uncrewed aerial vehicles, autonomous cars, humanoid robots, and space robotics.
Prof. Gao has won numerous awards, including the NSF CAREER Award, the Institute of Navigation Early Achievement Award, the RTCA William E. Jackson Award, and the Inspiring Early Academic Career Award from Stanford University. In addition to her research achievements, she has received significant recognition for her teaching and advising, including the AIAA Stanford Chapter Excellence in Advising Award and the Excellence in Teaching Award. -
Xiaojing Gao
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHow do we design biological systems as “smart medicine” that sense patients’ states, process the information, and respond accordingly? To realize this vision, we will tackle fundamental challenges across different levels of complexity, such as (1) protein components that minimize their crosstalk with human cells and immunogenicity, (2) biomolecular circuits that function robustly in different cells and are easy to deliver, (3) multicellular consortia that communicate through scalable channels, and (4) therapeutic modules that interface with physiological inputs/outputs. Our engineering targets include biomolecules, molecular circuits, viruses, and cells, and our approach combines quantitative experimental analysis with computational simulation. The molecular tools we build will be applied to diverse fields such as neurobiology and cancer therapy.

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. -

Raul Garreta Tompson
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioI'm a tech entrepreneur, passionate about Artificial Intelligence (AI), with extensive experience in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Robotics.
I started in Machine Learning back in 2005, building an artificial Go player with Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning. That was ten years before AlphaGo used the same principles :)
Then worked on a bunch of companies including programming video games and implementing firmware for implantable medical devices.
In 2007 I started lecturing Machine Learning and NLP as a professor at the Computer Science Institute of UDELAR for 9 years.
In 2009 I co-founded Tryolabs, Python dev shop specialized in building products with AI.
In 2013 I co-authored with PhD Guillermo Moncecchi a technical book about an introduction to applied Machine Learning with Python programming language.
In 2014 I founded and led MonkeyLearn to make Machine Learning and NLP accessible to all companies and users. I raised a total of $4.2m from top tier Venture Capital and angel investors in Silicon Valley. I led all R&D and business operations, selling our product to top companies in the US.
In 2020 I finished my master thesis in Artificial Intelligence, "Data Efficient Deep Learning Models for Text Classification", where I compared multiple state of the art models, including language models.
In 2022 I exited MonkeyLearn to Medallia and joined as Sr Director leading AI research and development.
I'm an active investor, I invest in public markets but also in private companies, particularly tech startups and software product companies. I'm also LP in two venture capital funds, Uncork Capital and Garuda Ventures.
Currently researching and building on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics. -
Matthias Garten
Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWith a creative, collaborative, biophysical mindset, we aim to understand the ability non-model organisms to interface with environment to a point at which we can exploit the mechanisms finding cures against diseases and use the mechanisms as tools that we can use to engineer the environment. By developing approaches that allow a quantitative understanding and manipulation of molecular transport our research makes non-model organisms accessible to researchers and engineers.
Specifically, we are studying how the malaria parasite takes control over red blood cells. By learning the biophysical principles of transport in between the host and the parasite we can design ways to kill the parasite or exploit it to reengineer red blood cells. The transport we study is broadly encompassing everything from ions to lipids and proteins. We use variations of quantitative microscopy and electrophysiology to gain insight into the unique strategies the parasite evolved to survive. -
