Prof Theresa Johnson
Affiliate, Management Science and Engineering
BioDr. Johnson is a seasoned product leader with deep technical roots and a rare track record of impact across startups, academia, and top-tier tech companies. She currently serves as Head of Product for the Roblox Operating System, where she shapes the product vision for the employee lifecycle for employees at one of the world’s most immersive virtual platforms.
Before that, she led Payments Data Products at Airbnb, tackling complex infrastructure challenges at scale with a focus on user trust, access, and seamless global transactions.
Her career is built on a strong technical foundation—she earned a PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford, becoming the second Black woman in history to do so. That mix of deep systems thinking, experimentation, and executional rigor shows up in everything from launching infrastructure and AI-enabled products, to leading cross-functional teams, to mentoring students and early-career PMs. As Lecturing Professor at Stanford for Introduction to Product Management in the School of Engineering, she's passionate about building inclusive, high-performing teams and designing products that don’t just hit metrics, but matter.
Prof. Theresa Johnson has a BS in Science, Technology and Society and an MS and PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University. She’s been published in the fields of robotics, machine learning and plasma physics. Theresa lives in Bernal Heights, San Francisco with her husband, two daughters and her rescued catahoula hound, Amelie. -

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. -

Their joint efforts have led to over 300 journal papers, several of which have received outstanding paper prizes; they have also led to a dozen patents and to several books and monographs. He has also co-founded and served as a director of several private and public high-technology companies. and has been
He is a fellow of the IEEE and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, the US National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Indian National Academy of Engineering, the Academy of Sciences of the Developing World and the Royal Spanish Academy of Engineering. In 2006, he was inducted into the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame.
Other major honors include several IEEE medals and prizes, including the 2007 Medal of Honor in 2007, Guggenheim and Churchill Fellowships, and honorary degrees from universities in Sweden, Scotland, Spain and France. -
Seraphine Kamayirese
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioI am a protein and peptide biochemist with a focus on biophysical characterization, structural activity relationship (SAR)study, and design and optimization of peptides targeting disease-relevant proteins. My Ph.D. research focused on designing and optimizing ligands that target the 14-3-3ε protein to disrupt its interaction with the cell cycle regulator CDC25A, an interaction known to suppress apoptosis in squamous cell carcinoma. Inhibiting this pathway is expected to promote apoptosis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. At Stanford University, I am expanding my research to study antimicrobial peptidoids and peptides such as LL-37 and their interactions with amyloid beta peptides, and the potential application of the resulting complexes as antiviral therapeutics. I bring strong experience in rational peptide design, structural activity relationship studies, molecular dynamics simulations, peptides and peptoids synthesis and purification, protein expression, and biophysical assays. My research has led to multiple peer-reviewed publications, presentations at national and international conferences, and awards, including the Young Investigator Poster Award at the American Peptide Symposium.
