Laura Frouté
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLaura is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, working on subsurface engineering solutions for the energy transition. Part of her research focuses on replicating geological hydrogen production in the laboratory and identifying and mitigating reactivity constraints at the microscale. Her research also focuses on investigating carbon storage into various basalt formations by measuring their carbon mineralization potential. Her expertise includes designing laboratory-scale pilots and conducting research on rock formations in the context of hydrocarbon production, carbon storage, and hydrogen production to understand the interplay of geochemistry, reaction mechanisms and complex storage and transport processes across length scales. To study the evolution of porous media properties following reaction or transport experiments, she uses a wide spectrum of multiscale, multimodal material characterization techniques (sorption, XRD, XRF, μCT, FIB-SEM, TEM). She holds a MS in Chemical Engineering from ENSIC (France) and a PhD in Energy Science and Engineering from Stanford University. Her interests range from subsurface engineering, fluid flow in porous media, to environmental and regulatory issues in the oil & gas industry, CCUS, climate solutions and energy policy.

Joel Fundaun
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioJoel Fundaun is a clinician-scientist specializing in chronic pain following traumatic head and neck injuries. His research aims to identify the drivers of pain persistence and develop tools to better predict recovery after traumatic injuries. By integrating clinical phenotyping, neuroimaging, and molecular biomarkers, he investigates why some individuals develop chronic pain while others recover.
Joel earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Regis University and completed an Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency at Northwestern University–Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. He received his DPhil (PhD) in Clinical Neurosciences from the University of Oxford, where his doctoral research identified novel signs of nerve injury and neuropathic pain in whiplash-associated disorders.
Currently, he is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Stanford University. He also continues to work clinically as a physical therapist at the Stanford Pain Management Center, where he treats patients with complex chronic pain conditions.
