Juyoung Oh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioJuyoung Oh is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University. Her research focuses on understanding and harnessing thermal runaway phenomena in rechargeable batteries to enable controllable propulsion thrust. With a strong background in the thermochemical analysis of metal-based solid energetic materials, her work aims to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing thermal runaway in lithium-metal batteries, with particular emphasis on interfacial chemistry and thermodynamic behavior. Through this approach, she seeks to integrate battery and thruster functionalities into a unified system, advancing next-generation aerospace–battery technologies.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Oh was a Postdoctoral Associate at Rice University. She received her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU). Her academic achievements include the Best Doctoral Thesis Award (2022) and the Korean-American Women in Science and Engineering (KWiSE) Young Scientist Scholarship (2025). -

Kunle Olukotun
Cadence Design Systems Professor, Professor of Electrical Engineering and of Computer Science
BioKunle Olukotun is the Cadence Design Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. Olukotun is a pioneer in multicore processor design and the leader of the Stanford Hydra chip multiprocessor (CMP) research project. He founded Afara Websystems to develop high-throughput, low-power multicore processors for server systems. The Afara multi-core processor, called Niagara, was acquired by Sun Microsystems and now powers Oracle's SPARC-based servers. In 2017, Olukotun co-founded SambaNova Systems, a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence company, and continues to lead as their Chief Technologist.
Olukotun is the Director of the Pervasive Parallel Lab and a member of the Data Analytics tor What's Next (DAWN) Lab, developing infrastructure for usable machine learning. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an ACM Fellow, and an IEEE Fellow for contributions to multiprocessors on a chip design and the commercialization of this technology. He also received the Harry H. Goode Memorial Award.
Olukotun received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from The University of Michigan. -

Colin Ophus
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Center Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioColin Ophus is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and a Center Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy, Stanford University. He previously worked as a Staff Scientist at the National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM), part of the Molecular Foundry, at Lawrence Berkeley Lab. He was awarded a US Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career award in 2018, and the Burton medal from the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) in 2018. His research focuses on experimental methods, reconstruction algorithms, and software codes for simulation, analysis, and instrument design of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning TEM (STEM).
Colin advocates for open science and his group has developed open-source scientific software including as the Prismatic STEM simulation code and py4DSTEM analysis toolkit. He has taught many workshops around the world on topics ranging from scientific visualization to large scale data analysis. He also is the founder and editor-in-chief for a new journal based on interactive science communication named Elemental Microscopy.
