Olatunde Sobomehin
Adjunct Lecturer, GSE Faculty Affairs
BioOlatunde Sobomehin is the 2025 Distinguished Practitioner in Residence at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. As a student at Stanford from 1998 to 2003, he held leadership positions in Alpha Phi Alpha, Nu Sigma Chapter, the NAACP, and STeP Up (Students using Technology to Empower People for United Progress), a student group he founded. He also led a public speaking course in the School of Engineering and competed on Stanford’s Top-25 Men’s Basketball team, where he was voted Most Inspirational Player (2003). Since graduating, he has taught courses through the Stanford Haas Center for Public Service and the Stanford d.school, where he also co-authored the book Creative Hustle with sam seidel.
In 2014, Olatunde co-founded StreetCode Academy, an East Palo Alto–based nonprofit that offers free technology education to communities of color. Under his leadership, StreetCode has become a national model for community-based innovation, serving more than 3,000 students annually and delivering over 50,000 hours of free instruction. His body of work has earned him recognition as a 2018 Aspen Institute Scholar, a 2019 Praxis Fellow, and a 2020 Social Entrepreneurship Fellow at Stanford University.
Most recently, he has delivered academic presentations at two international conferences: the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) Conference in Finland and the ACM Global Computing Education Conference in Botswana, where he shared hands-on strategies for advancing the social and societal impacts of computing. He frequently speaks on community-centered innovation, equity in technology education, and creative leadership, and has served as a guest lecturer in courses across engineering, education, and design.
Olatunde and his wife, Tamara, reside in East Palo Alto, CA, and are the blessed parents of four children: Olatayo and Temilola, students at Stanford University; Tatiola, a freshman at USC; and Olataiye, an eighth grader. -
Dimosthenis Sokaras
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDimosthenis Sokaras is a Senior Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Director of the Chemistry and Catalysis Division at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). His efforts focus on leveraging and expanding SSRL’s capabilities to address emerging research priorities of the U.S. Department of Energy, with emphasis on energy conversion, catalysis, and next-generation technologies for industrial and national competitiveness. His work centers on the development and application of novel X-ray tools -including high energy resolution, time-resolved, and operando techniques- that enable experimental studies under realistic working conditions. He also leads the Integrated Scientific Agentic AI for Catalysis (ISAAC), a DOE Basic Energy Sciences AI Pathfinder project developing agentic AI for scientific reasoning and discovery in catalysis.
Together with his team, he bridges synthesis, performance evaluation, and advanced diagnostics with high-accuracy theoretical calculations on DOE supercomputing platforms. This integrated approach enables the interpretation of complex spectral signatures and the identification of transient and reactive states that remain inaccessible to conventional methods. Their efforts deepen fundamental understanding and support the design of more effective materials for catalysis and energy conversion.
Dr. Sokaras plays a leading role in shaping SSRL’s strategic direction and strengthening its synergy with other SLAC programs and DOE national initiatives. Mentorship and team development are central to his role, and he actively builds cross-disciplinary teams that expand the facility’s scientific reach and long-term impact. -

David Solow-Cordero
Associate Director, High-Throughput Screening, Innovative Medicines Accelerator (IMA)
Current Role at StanfordAssociate Director, High-Throughput Screening Knowledge Center, , Sarafan ChEM-H and Innovative Medicine Accelerator (IMA)
This high-throughput screening (HTS) laboratory allows Stanford researchers and others to discover novel modulators of targets that otherwise would not be practical in industry. The center incorporates instrumentation (purchased with NCRR NIH Instrumentation grant numbers S10RR019513, S10RR026338, S10OD025004, and S10OD026899), databases, compound libraries, and personnel whose previous sole domains were in industry.
Among our instrumentation are a fully automated Molecular Devices ImageXpress Micro Confocal High-Content fluorescence microplate imager, with live cell, fluidics and phase contrast options, an Echo 655 Acoustic Dispense, a Thermo integrated HTS robotic system, a Caliper Life Sciences SciClone ALH3000 and an Agilent Bravo microplate liquid handler, and the BMG Clariostarplus, Tecan Infinite M1000 and M1000 PRO and Molecular Devices FlexStation II 384 fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance multimode microplate readers.
We have over 180,000 small molecules for compound screens, 15,000 cDNAs for genomic screens, and whole genome siRNA libraries targeting the human genome (the siARRAY whole human genome siRNA library from Dharmacon, targeting 21,000 human genes) and the mouse genome (Qiagen mouse whole genome siRNA set V1 against 22,124 genes).
The HTSKC main screening lab is located in ChEM-H W008, the cell-based assay development lab is located in CCSR Room 0133-North Wing, between the Transgenic Mouse Facility, and the Stanford Genomics Facility. -
