Felipe Jornada
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
BioFelipe Jornada's research aims at predicting and understanding excited-state phenomena in quantum and energy materials. In order to make reliable predictions on novel materials, he relies on high-performance computer calculations based on parameter-free, quantum-mechanical theories that are developed in his group. He is interested in studying fundamental aspects of these excitations – their lifetimes, dynamics, and stability/binding energies – and how they can be engineered in novel materials, such as nanostructured and low-dimensional systems. His ultimate goal is to use insights from atomistic calculations to rationally design new materials with applications in energy research, electronics, optoelectronics, and quantum technologies.
Felipe received his Ph.D. degree in physics from UC Berkeley in 2017 under the advice of Prof. Steven G. Louie. His Ph.D. research focused on the prediction of the electronic and optical properties of new quasi-two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. In his postdoc, he studied a number of problems related to multiparticle excitations in low-dimensional materials, including biexcitons and plasmons. Felipe joined the Stanford faculty in January 2020 and an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. -

Mira Joseph
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioI am currently studying solutions to residential instability in Oakland at the Changing Cities Research Lab at Stanford. I spent the previous year as a Research Associate at the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, leading an initiative on alternative first response programs in the Bay Area. Previously, I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Chicago with a B.A. in Sociology with honors and a specialization in computational methods. All of my work is dedicated to my late parent Polly, who still inspires me to be a more empathetic, thoughtful, curious, and rigorous researcher every day. In my free time, I love to play chess in the park and write sci-fi.

Chaitanya K. Joshi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry
BioI'm a Stanford Data Science Fellow and postdoc with Rhiju Das at the Department of Biochemistry. I build lab-in-the-loop AI for RNA biology, pairing deep learning with wet-lab experiments at scale.
I did my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge with Pietro Liò, on geometric deep learning for molecular design. I built gRNAde, the first 3D generative model for RNA, and validated it in the wet lab as a visiting researcher in Phil Holliger's group at the MRC LMB. I've also interned at Prescient Design (Genentech) and FAIR Chemistry (Meta AI), and my work has been recognized by the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship and the A*STAR National Science Scholarship. -

Siddhartha Joshi, PhD
Sr Res Scientist-Basic Life, Neurosurgery
BioI am a neuroscientist with over 20 years of experience in empirical, hypothesis-driven research. My knowledge and expertise cover a wide range of topics and methods within systems neuroscience including sensory perception, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, eye-movements and pupillometry. My research is focused on how the brain represents and uses sensory information to drive goal-directed behaviors and in exploring how intrinsic neuromodulatory systems influence the neural circuits that drive such behaviors. At Stanford, I am looking to channel my experience towards studying human neural signals that underlie computations governing pain and attention.
My work thus far [1-4] supports the idea that there is a need for simultaneous measurements of behavior, brain state and large-scale cortical activity to understand how the brain’s circuits: (i) are modulated by ascending sympathetic activation and (ii) provide top-down control of descending sympathetic control. These are technically challenging experiments [3,4] that have thus far largely been explored in animal models. My current goal is to leverage opportunities to directly measure human brain activity via electrodes implanted for monitoring epilepsy. Towards this end, I will use state-of-the-art neurophysiological, behavioral, pupillometric techniques combined with quantitative analyses.

Israel Juarez Contreras
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biochemistry
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Rajat Rohatgi at Stanford University, where I study how membrane organization controls sterol accessibility and signaling. I earned my Ph.D. at UC San Diego with Itay Budin, where I uncovered how sterol structure and sphingolipid composition regulate membrane phase behavior in yeast and reconstituted systems. My current work translates these biophysical principles into disease-relevant contexts, with a focus on lysosomal lipid organization and sterol trafficking defects, including those associated with NPC1. Ultimately, I aim to establish an independent research program that defines how cells interpret membrane physical properties and how their dysregulation contributes to human disease.
