Sa Zhou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioSa Zhou, Ph.D., received her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Her research focuses on person-centered cognitive and physical enhancement for aging-related neurological disorders - including stroke, Parkinson’s disease (PD), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) - through the development of closed-loop brain-computer interface (BCI)-guided neuromodulation and rehabilitation robotics, as well as the investigation of brain structural and functional connectivity using multimodal neuroimaging and electrophysiology.

Shiyuan Zhou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Materials Science and Engineering
BioShiyuan Zhou is a recipient of the 2026 Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellowship. He received his Ph.D. in Energy Chemistry in 2024 through a joint doctoral program between Xiamen University and Argonne National Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. Shi-Gang Sun, Dr. Gui-Liang Xu, and Dr. Khalil Amine.
His research advances the frontiers of battery chemistry through the development of multimodal operando electrochemical scanning/transmission electron microscopy (EC-S/TEM) integrated with synchrotron X-ray characterization, enabling direct observation of real-time electrochemical and structural dynamics in energy materials. Trained as both a materials chemist and microscopist, his work focuses on visualizing highly sensitive and previously inaccessible electrochemical processes in batteries.
During his doctoral research, he developed in situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy techniques to probe real-time reaction dynamics in lithium–sulfur batteries. Following his Ph.D., he continued at Argonne as a postdoctoral fellow, where he expanded his research to multimodal and multiscale imaging approaches, integrating advanced electron microscopy with transmission X-ray microscopy to study all-solid-state batteries. His research has been recognized as one of China’s Top 10 Scientific Advances of 2023, and he has received the Tan Kah Kee Medal as well as the Argonne Impact Award. -
Rebecca Zhu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow in developmental psychology at Stanford University, working with Michael C. Frank. Previously, I was a PhD candidate and postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, working with Alison Gopnik, and a lab manager at Harvard University, working with Susan Carey.
My research investigates when and how children acquire, and consequently learn from, symbolic systems such as language and pictures. In one line of research, I investigate the mechanisms underlying children’s acquisition of various kinds of non-literal language, such as metaphor and metonymy, as well as how children’s non-literal language comprehension may further guide their thinking and reasoning. In another line of research, I work with urban and rural Kenyan children to investigate the efficacy of picture-based learning materials and the validity of picture-based assessments across cultures and contexts. My work in Kenya is conducted in close collaboration with researchers and non-profit organizations in Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nairobi.
This research program is innovative and interdisciplinary: these findings not only address fundamental debates in psychology, philosophy, and linguistics (i.e., by providing empirical insight into the mechanisms underlying children’s ability to acquire and learn from symbolic systems), but also have direct implications for applied research in education, public health, and developmental economics (i.e., by improving the learning materials and assessment tools used in global early childhood development programs). -

Ying Zhu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition
BioDr. Ying Zhu is a postdoctoral scholar in the Rosen Lab, Department of Pediatrics, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition at Stanford University. She earned her PhD in 2023 from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. In the Rosen Lab, Dr. Zhu investigates intestinal epithelial metabolic dysfunction in pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases and chronic intestinal inflammation. Her primary objective is to characterize metabolic reprogramming in ulcerative colitis epithelium and to identify defects that persist in patient-derived organoids, or colonoids. Her broader research interests lie in the interplay between intestinal energy metabolism and epithelial barrier homeostasis in children with ulcerative colitis.
