Bruce A. Wooley
The Robert L. and Audrey S. Hancock Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioBruce Wooley is the Robert L. and Audrey S. Hancock Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1970, and from 1970 to 1984 he was a member of the research staff at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ. He joined the faculty at Stanford in 1984. At Stanford he has served as the Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Senior Associate Dean of Engineering and the Director of the Integrated Circuits Laboratory. His research is in the field of integrated circuit design, where his interests include low-power mixed-signal circuit design, oversampling analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, circuit design techniques for video and image data acquisition, high-speed embedded memory, high-performance packaging and testing, and circuits for wireless and wireline communications.
Prof. Wooley is a Fellow of the IEEE and a past President of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. He has served as the Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and as the Chairman of both the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and the Symposium on VLSI Circuits. Awards he has received include the University Medal from the University of California, Berkeley, the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits Best Paper Award, the Outstanding Alumnus Award from the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley, and the IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits. -
Mulate Zerihun Workeneh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Critical Care
BioDr. Mulate Zerihun Workeneh is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Dr. Bereketeab Haileselassie’s laboratory in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. He earned a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where he developed peptide therapeutics that target mitochondrial protein-protein interactions involved in cardiovascular disease. Dr. Workeneh’s research uses medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, peptide engineering, computational modeling and mitochondrial biology to understand how the disease occurs and to develop new ways to treat it. During his doctoral training, he designed and evaluated novel linear and macrocyclic peptide inhibitors that alter mitochondrial dynamics to mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiovascular injury. His work at Stanford is focused on defining the role of mitochondrial dynamics in endothelial dysfunction in sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). He is working to develop peptide-based therapeutics that maintain mitochondrial function, improve vascular health and prevent organ failure in critically ill patients by integrating approaches in chemical biology, molecular and cellular biology, and translational drug discovery. Dr. Workeneh has publications in leading medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and mitochondrial biology journals and is an inventor on patents related to mitochondrial protein-protein interaction inhibitors. His goal is to translate advances in mitochondrial biology into first-in-class therapeutics for cardiovascular disease, sepsis, and other disorders linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. He is excited to work across disciplines at Stanford to help push biomedical research forward.
