TZU HAN LO
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
BioTzu-Han Lo, a researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at Academia Sinica, has made contributions to the field of macrophage biology. His work has particularly focused on inflammation, especially in the context of fibrotic response. One of his works includes a study on the regulation of macrophage polarization in ureteral obstruction. This research has illuminated the role of inflammatory cell infiltration and activation during the early stages of kidney injury, a common pathological feature of chronic kidney disease.
In addition to his work on macrophage biology, Tzu-Han Lo has also delved into research related to galectins, a family of β-galactoside–binding proteins. His work in this area has centered on the role of galectins in recognizing microbial glycans, particularly lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). He has explored their impact on host defense mechanisms, including autophagy and both canonical and non-canonical inflammasome signaling pathways.
His research has offered insights into the complex interactions between host immunity and microbial components. This has contributed to our understanding of inflammatory responses and their implications for human health. -

Michael LoCascio
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Winter 2022
BioMichael's work focuses on wind energy at the intersection of computational fluid dynamics, controls, and optimization. He is interested in wake modeling, wind farm layout optimization, and large eddy simulations of wind farm flows. He is currently working on a low-cost model for the annual energy production of wind farms. Michael is also a graduate researcher at the National Wind Technology Center, a research facility of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. He received his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford in 2023 and his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UCLA in 2020.
