Christopher J. Miller
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioI am a chemist and Postdoctoral Scholar at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where my research focuses on the core challenges of electrochemical energy conversion and sustainable chemistry. Working within the DOE BETO CO2RUe consortium, I investigate the dynamic behavior of catalysts in CO₂ electrolyzers. My primary approach involves using advanced operando characterization techniques, particularly X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), to build comprehensive models that link a catalyst's atomic-scale structure to its real-world device performance.
My philosophy is that progress requires bridging fundamental science with practical systems engineering. To that end, my expertise includes the ground-up design, construction, and automation of experimental systems. I specialize in building fully integrated electrochemical test stations and gas delivery infrastructure, tailored to deliver high-quality, reproducible data with robust safety features and remote-operation capabilities. Complementing this hardware, I develop custom MATLAB software suites to automate data processing and analysis, significantly accelerating the path from raw data to actionable scientific insight.
In addition to my research, I am deeply committed to education and professional service. As a recent fellow in Stanford's Preparing Future Professors (PFP) program, I received formal training in pedagogy and gained direct mentorship experience at San Jose State University. This commitment extends to the broader scientific community through my long-standing leadership roles within the American Chemical Society (ACS), where I contribute to governance, chemical safety initiatives, and professional development for younger chemists. I am always interested in discussing new collaborations at the intersection of spectroscopy, catalysis, and system design. -
Yan Mia Min
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiothoracic Surgery
BioYan Mia Min is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Epidemiology and Population Health and a Stanford Data Science Scholar. Her background is in medicine and health economics. She completed her residency in general surgery. She just completed her Master's in Statistics in the summer of 2022.
Yan has worked as a health policy analyst in the health finance cluster at the World Health Organization in Geneva. She also took a leadership role in establishing the WELL Living Laboratory Cohort at the Stanford Prevention Research Center.
Yan’s current research is focused on rigorous causal inference theories and modeling in large-scale observational settings, with particular applications in cardiothoracic surgeries, where randomization is often unavailable. Her training in epidemiology makes her share a strong sense of integrity in research conduct. Along with her teammates, Yan is writing an e-book, Open, Rigorous and Reproducible Science: A Practitioner’s Manual, to address the following three phases of scientific research: design, analysis, and publication. -
Pardis Miri
Basic Life Research Scientist, Genetics
BioPardis Miri, PhD, is a Research Scientist and former Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University, where she develops technology aimed at improving mental well-being. She holds a PhD in Computer Science and has extensive training in affective science under Professor James J. Gross. Pardis leads a multidisciplinary team (http://wehab.stanford.edu
) conducting clinical and real-world studies to assess how wearable technologies can reduce stress and enhance glymphatic flow in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients.
During her postdoctoral work, Pardis served as the principal investigator of FAR, a multi-disciplinary project to design, build, and evaluate an end-to-end wearable system for children with emotion dysregulation, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. FAR aims to support more adaptive emotion-regulation strategies through a combination of systems design and behavioral research.
Pardis is advised by Professors Michael Snyder, Keith Marzullo, and James J. Gross, and collaborates with Professor Antonio Hardan of the Stanford School of Medicine on research involving children with autism spectrum disorder. -
Mohammad Javad Mirshojaeian Hosseini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioWith over Seven years of experience, my work focuses on designing, fabricating, and characterizing flexible nanostructures and organic neuromorphic circuits. My expertise extends to hands-on experience in ISO 4 cleanrooms and fabrication labs, employing a variety of techniques such as electron beam and thermal PVD, ALD, sputtering, photolithography, CVD, profilometry, and wet chemical processing. I have a strong foundation in advanced materials and technologies, including neuromorphic systems, nanofabrication, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip technologies, printing electronics, and organic nanoelectronics.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, where I explore stretchable neuromorphic e-skin and flexible electronics, particularly for biopotential monitoring and soft robotics applications. My multidisciplinary expertise enables me to contribute to projects that combine neuromorphic computing, smart materials, and neuroscience. These align with my long-term research goals of advancing neuromorphic systems and developing novel technologies at the interface of artificial intelligence, smart materials, and organic electronics.
