    Yann Sakref

    Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery

    BioYann Sakref is a Postdoctoral Scholar in General Surgery at Stanford University, working within the Knowlton Lab. With a passion for interdisciplinary sciences and advancing medical biotechnology and patient care, Yann is developing clinical and AI solutions as part of an ARPA-H-funded project under Dr. Knowlton's supervision. His work focuses on creating computer vision models for surgical assistance and contributing to the collaborative development of innovative tools by working closely with clinical, engineering, and AI teams. He also works closely with collaborators at the S-SPIRE Center.

  • Giovanni Marco Saladino

    Giovanni Marco Saladino

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology

    BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. I graduated in Engineering Physics with a BSc at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and an MSc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). In 2024, I obtained my PhD in Biological and Biomedical Physics from the Department of Applied Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

    My research interests lie at the intersection of molecular imaging, nanomedicine, and nanomaterials. Specifically, I focus on developing novel contrast agents and exploring advanced imaging techniques. During my PhD studies, I designed hybrid multimodal contrast agents for complementary imaging using X-ray fluorescence computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and optical fluorescence imaging. I am currently involved in investigating theranostic applications of nanomaterials, which hold great promise for personalized medicine and targeted therapies.

  • Teresa Salomone

    Teresa Salomone

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering

    BioTeresa Salomone is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford’s Center for Turbulence Research. She earned her PhD through a joint collaboration between Queen’s University in Canada and the University of Campania in Italy. Her research focuses on computational studies of turbulent flows using large eddy simulation and wall modeled large eddy simulation with high performance computing, with an emphasis on roughness, separated flows, and complex external aerodynamics.

    More recently, her work has expanded to include simulations of marine species in collaboration with Hopkins Marine Station, where she studies the hydrodynamics of cetaceans to estimate drag, gliding energetics, and cost of locomotion across different species and swimming conditions. She is also exploring how computational fluid dynamics can be applied to questions in human physiology, particularly in modeling cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.

    She is also involved in facilitating workshops on breathwork, reflecting a broader interest in the role of respiration and its interaction with physiological systems.
