Mouhssine Rifaki
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on sample complexity reduction in reinforcement learning by exploiting latent structure in Markov decision processes such as low-rank Q-functions, spectral gaps, and manifold geometry. My broader interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning, control theory, and multi-agent systems, with applications to autonomous driving and adaptive sensing.

Rafael Rivera Lugo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioRafael Rivera-Lugo is a Stanford Science Fellow postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biology and the ChEM-H Institute at Stanford University, where he works in the laboratory of Christine Jacobs-Wagner. His postdoctoral research focuses on how the Lyme disease bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi establishes infection using novel mouse models to dissect the immune and cellular mechanisms that drive tissue pathology during infection. He is also developing metabolically active, non-replicating bacterial platforms for vaccine applications.
Rafael completed his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, in the laboratory of Daniel A. Portnoy. His doctoral work revealed how the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes acquires and utilizes flavins (riboflavin derivatives) during infection, reshaping our understanding of bacterial metabolism and immune evasion. This work produced multiple high-impact publications in journals including PNAS, eLife, Nature, and mBio, and was recognized with the Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award and the Nicholas Cozzarelli Prize. He received his B.S. in Biology and Biotechnology, Summa Cum Laude, from the University of Puerto Rico at Ponce.
Beyond research, Rafael is deeply committed to expanding access to scientific careers. He has mentored students from historically underserved communities through programs at Stanford and UC Berkeley, co-founded organizations to support peers navigating academic science, and has been a consistent advocate for creating welcoming and rigorous scientific environments for all students. -
Desirée Rodrigues Plaça
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am studying Flaviviridae viruses, focusing on dengue. My research explores T cell and myeloid dysregulation in severe dengue to improve vaccines and identify biomarkers. I'm characterizing T cell responses to DENV, and the regulatory immune response through integrative systems analysis. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools and vaccines for pediatric infectious diseases, particularly in endemic regions like Brazil.

Charles Roques-Carmes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioCharles Roques-Carmes is a Science Fellow at Stanford and an incoming Assistant Professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). His lab studies and engineers subwavelength light–matter interactions to unlock quantum technologies, advanced microscopes, and next-generation communications and computing platforms—combining rigorous theory with ultrafast electron microscopy, X-ray imaging, and quantum sensing to turn insights into devices. Before joining ISTA, Charles was a Stanford Science Fellow at Stanford University and a Visiting Scientist at MIT, where he earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2022. Charles has delivered 40+ invited talks at major venues including APS, CLEO, and SPIE.
In 2025, he received the inaugural Photonics Innovation Award in honor of Federico Capasso for pioneering achievements that broaden photonics’ frontiers and connect fundamentals to real-world impact; Charles is widely regarded as one of the founders of the emerging field of nanophotonic scintillation. His honors include numerous distinctions such as Forbes 30 Under 30 (Science, 2023), the Stanford Science Fellowship, the MathWorks Engineering Fellowship, the Robert B. Guenassia Award, and a Carnot Foundation Fellowship. He holds M.S. degrees from MIT (2018) and École Polytechnique (2016), and a B.S. from École Polytechnique (2015). -
Luca Rosalia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioLuca Rosalia received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Glasgow (UK). During his studies, he visited the National University of Singapore and the University of Cambridge, where he gained his first exposure to the fields of soft robotics and tissue biomechanics. He pursued doctoral studies in the Health Sciences and Technology (HST) Ph.D. program of Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the lab of Ellen Roche and he's currently at Stanford University as a Postdoctoral Scholar in Bioengineering in the Skylar-Scott lab.
His doctoral work primarily focused on high-fidelity and patient-specific soft robotic preclinical models of valvular heart disease, congenital defects, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Luca leveraged these platforms for the testing and development of medical devices through several partnerships with industry. During his studies, he also worked as an R&D engineer in the Structural Heart division of Abbott Laboratories on the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR). He also gained clinical experience at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Boston and at Boston Children's Hospital. In the Skylar-Scott lab, Luca will be working on whole-heart bioprinting. -

Soumyadeep Roy
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Informatics
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for Biomedical Informatics Research of Stanford University, advised by Prof. Tina Hernandez-Boussard.
My primary area of research is natural language processing, with expertise in medical and healthcare applications. My research areas of interest are Foundation Models for Medicine, Generative AI, Text Summarization, and Efficient Pretraining.
I hold a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, where I worked with Prof. Niloy Ganguly and Prof. Shamik Sural. Here, I was part of the Complex Networks Research Group (CNeRG). My PhD thesis is titled “Domain Adaptation for Medical Language Understanding”, where I developed novel domain adaptation techniques to effectively and efficiently adapt open-domain AI models to the medical domain.
In summary, I have six years of experience working with medical NLP data, which includes clinical trial registry data (2018-2021), medical forum questions (2020-2021), DNA sequence data (2021-2024), biomedical scientific literature (2023 - 2025), clinical data (2021-2023) and EHR clinical notes (2025). My medical AI research experience includes 2.5 years at L3S Research Germany collaborating with Hannover Medical School as well as a 7-month research internship at GE HealthCare Technology and Innovation Center (HTIC) in Bangalore, India. I also presented a tutorial on March 10, 2025 titled "Building Trustworthy AI Models for Medicine" at WSDM 2025 held in Germany.
In my free time, I like hiking, and playing chess or table tennis. -
