Cliona O Doherty
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioClíona is a postdoc with Cameron Ellis’ Scaffolding of Cognition Team and Dan Yamin’s NeuroAILab. She earned her PhD from Trinity College Dublin, where she worked on developing cognitive computational methods for infant neuroimaging with Prof. Rhodri Cusack. Her bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience was also completed at Trinity College Dublin. Clíona is interested in how human infants learn to be so intelligent with such efficiency, how this can be modelled using the latest advances in AI, and how these methods can inform our understanding of the developing mind.

Connor Galen O'Brien
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. O'Brien is a native of Menlo Park, CA. He attended medical school at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. At Columbia he was elected to both Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honors Societies. He completed an Internal Medicine residency as well as fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University. In his third year of fellowship, he was selected Chief Cardiology Fellow.
He is currently a post-doctoral fellow performing regenerative medicine research, specifically studying the role of exosomes in treating cardiomyopathy. In addition to his basic science research, he is also involved in human clinical trials investigating the role of stem cells in treating various forms of cardiomyopathy. -
Juyoung Oh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioJuyoung Oh is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University. Her research focuses on understanding and harnessing thermal runaway phenomena in rechargeable batteries to enable controllable propulsion thrust. With a strong background in the thermochemical analysis of metal-based solid energetic materials, her work aims to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing thermal runaway in lithium-metal batteries, with particular emphasis on interfacial chemistry and thermodynamic behavior. Through this approach, she seeks to integrate battery and thruster functionalities into a unified system, advancing next-generation aerospace–battery technologies.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Oh was a Postdoctoral Associate at Rice University. She received her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU). Her academic achievements include the Best Doctoral Thesis Award (2022) and the Korean-American Women in Science and Engineering (KWiSE) Young Scientist Scholarship (2025). -

Okikiola Morenike Olajide
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioOkikiola M. Olajide, PhD is a molecular virologist and emerging structural biologist specializing in HIV-1 vaccine research. Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Barnes Lab at Stanford University, Dr. Olajide focuses on designing HIV-1 immunogens that elicit silent face-targeting broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and developing innovative HIV infection models using human spleen organoids. Her research aims to bridge the gap between promising preclinical immunogens and their effectiveness in human clinical trials, advancing the path toward more effective HIV vaccines. Dr. Olajide earned her PhD in Biology from Albert Ludwigs University, Freiburg, where she investigated protein-protein interactions crucial for viral entry in bat influenza A viruses, pioneering approaches such as photo-affinity protein crosslinking and genetic code expansion. She also holds an MSc in Medical Virology from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, where she studied the role of cockroaches in the dissemination and sustained transmission of live-attenuated oral polio vaccine virus. During her BSc in Microbiology at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, she uncovered an ongoing rubella outbreak among at-risk, unvaccinated pregnant women. A strong advocate for advancing research in developing regions, Dr. Olajide actively supports training initiatives for scientists in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her commitment to mentorship, shaped by her experiences as an international scholar, drives her to guide the next generation of researchers in making meaningful scientific contributions.
