Eric Appel
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Bioengineering
On Partial Leave from 04/01/2026 To 06/30/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe underlying theme of the Appel Lab at Stanford University integrates concepts and approaches from supramolecular chemistry, natural/synthetic materials, and biology. We aim to develop supramolecular biomaterials that exploit a diverse design toolbox and take advantage of the beautiful synergism between physical properties, aesthetics, and low energy consumption typical of natural systems. Our vision is to use these materials to solve fundamental biological questions and to engineer advanced healthcare solutions.

Nur Arafeh Dalmau
Postdoctoral Scholar, Oceans
BioI am currently a postdoc at UCLA and Stanford and an Honorary Fellow at The University of Queensland. I am a marine community ecologist and marine spatial planner. My research focuses on understanding the impacts of marine heatwaves on kelp forest ecosystems. I also research the role of marine protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures for providing climate resilience and designing networks of climate-smart marine protected areas. I support conservation initiatives with NGOs, parks, and fishers, and teach decision tools such as Marxan. My heart remains in my beautiful Costa Brava, Spain (Catalonia), where I do my best to support conservation. I am a naive dreamer, and I know future generations will dive into healthy kelp forests and thriving marine ecosystems.

Mateus Aragao Esmeraldo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioMateus A. Esmeraldo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, currently working under the mentorship of Dr. Bruno P. Soares. His current research focuses on pediatric neuroradiology and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance diagnostic and healthcare delivery in neuropediatric populations, with a particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging.
Originally from Brazil, Mateus earned his medical degree Magna cum Laude from the University of Ceará - Sobral. He completed his residency in Radiology at the University of São Paulo, where he was awarded the Guerbet-InRad Best Resident Award and received the CBR/ESOR Europe Scholarship for complementary training in Neuroradiology at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, University of Cambridge, during his final year.
Following his residency, Mateus served as a Radiologist in the Ultrasound Section of the Institute of Radiology (InRad) at the University of São Paulo. In this role, he was engaged in clinical and research activities involving Doppler ultrasound and transcranial ultrasound in adult patients. His work was closely aligned with innovation-driven projects in neuroimaging and artificial intelligence, and he also participated in academic and teaching initiatives for medical students and residents. -
