L. Julian Mele
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioJulian graduated in electrical engineering and received his PhD from the University of Udine (Italy). During his PhD, he worked on electrochemical modeling of performance and noise for electronic biosensors and bioactuators. Then he continued as a postdoctoral scholar in Prof. Palestri’s group, where he focused on modeling and simulations of conjugated polymers for bioelectronic applications. He joined Prof. Salleo's group in the fall of 2022 where he is contributing to the understanding of the physical operation of organic devices.

Jordan Moore
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioJordan Moore is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, appointed in both the Departments of Materials Science & Engineering and Neurology. He earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, where he was mentored by Dr. Daniel Gallego Perez. During his doctoral studies, Jordan's research primarily centered around the application of electroporation for gene delivery in vivo, with a specific focus on cell-reprogramming.
His work in his Ph.D. program aimed to address the restoration of blood flow to damaged peripheral nerves, contributing to the promotion of nerve regeneration and functional recovery. As a postdoctoral researcher, Jordan is currently co-mentored by Professor Sarah Heilshorn and Dr. Marion Buckwalter. In this role, he is dedicated to the development of innovative biomaterial-based platforms for gene and drug delivery. His research focuses on the treatment of stroke-related injuries and the prevention of cognitive decline. -
Renato Navarro
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioMy research goal is to achieve comprehensive solutions to cardiovascular clinical challenges via chemistry approaches to produce tailorable materials that serve as scaffolds or therapeutic delivery vehicles that enhance tissue regeneration. I am a trained polymer chemist with expertise in biomaterials engineering for cardiovascular regeneration and nanomedicine. My graduate research experience, under the supervision of Peter X. Ma, focused on broadening the use of tunable tissue engineering scaffolds by developing polymers with chemical functionality that can be easily and rapidly fashioned into biomimetic physical constructs and activated with regulatory signals (biomolecules, peptides, and growth factors). I accomplished this by developing novel polymer synthesis methods that are cost-effective and facile to ease the path toward clinical translation. As a postdoctoral scholar, my current training is under the co-supervision of Prof. Sarah Heilshorn and Prof. Joseph Wu as a K99/R00 MOSAIC Fellow. My work entails the development of tailored injectable hydrogels for the local delivery of therapies after a myocardial infarct.

Eileen Otte
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioEileen Otte is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Mark L. Brongersma’s group at the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM), Stanford University, supported by the GLAM fellowship as well as DAAD PRIME program (Germany). Her research expertise spans various areas of optics & photonics and related fields including structured light; topological, singular, and quantum optics; light-matter interactions and optical trapping; nanophotonics and metamaterials; and advanced imaging with diverse applications. After completing her Master degree with distinction, she specialized on structured singular light in her PhD studies. She performed her research at the University of Muenster (WWU), Germany, as well as the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, under supervision of Prof. Dr. Cornelia Denz and Prof. Dr. Andrew Forbes. In 2019 she finished her PhD, honored with "summa cum laude" and the WWU Dissertation Award in Physics, and recognized internationally as part of the Springer Theses series. Further, she received the Research Award 2020 of the Industrial Club Duesseldorf and is a junior class member of the NRW Academy of Sciences, Humanities, and the Arts. In 2021, Eileen moved to Stanford, focusing on nanoscale light-matter interactions in collaboration with the Center for Soft Nanoscience, WWU, Germany. Eileen has published 24 peer-reviewed articles as well as a book and was invited for 18 talks including one keynote talk at international conferences, seminars, and colloquia.
