  • Juyoung Oh

    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).

  • Okikiola Morenike Olajide

    Okikiola Morenike Olajide

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology

    BioOkikiola M. Olajide, PhD is a molecular virologist and emerging structural biologist specializing in HIV-1 vaccine research. Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Barnes Lab at Stanford University, Dr. Olajide focuses on designing HIV-1 immunogens that elicit silent face-targeting broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and developing innovative HIV infection models using human spleen organoids. Her research aims to bridge the gap between promising preclinical immunogens and their effectiveness in human clinical trials, advancing the path toward more effective HIV vaccines. Dr. Olajide earned her PhD in Biology from Albert Ludwigs University, Freiburg, where she investigated protein-protein interactions crucial for viral entry in bat influenza A viruses, pioneering approaches such as photo-affinity protein crosslinking and genetic code expansion. She also holds an MSc in Medical Virology from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, where she studied the role of cockroaches in the dissemination and sustained transmission of live-attenuated oral polio vaccine virus. During her BSc in Microbiology at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, she uncovered an ongoing rubella outbreak among at-risk, unvaccinated pregnant women. A strong advocate for advancing research in developing regions, Dr. Olajide actively supports training initiatives for scientists in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her commitment to mentorship, shaped by her experiences as an international scholar, drives her to guide the next generation of researchers in making meaningful scientific contributions.
