Don Romesburg
Staff, Clayman Institute for Gender Research
Managing Editor Tsq, ContingentBioDr. Don Romesburg is a scholar and educator specializing in LGBTQ+ history and interdisciplinary studies, U.S. history, intersectional feminist studies, and education history and policy. Currently a Visiting Professor of History and Women’s, Gender, and Queer Studies at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, he spent nearly two decades in Sonoma State University's Women’s and Gender Studies Department, where he also founded and ran the Queer Studies minor. At Stanford, Romesburg serves as the managing editor for TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly, through the Clayman Institute for Gender Research.
Romesburg has been a lead scholar in implementing California’s FAIR Education Act and has published extensively, including as author of "Contested Curriculum: LGBTQ History Goes to School" (Rutgers, 2025) and editor of "The Routledge History of Queer America" (2018). His work bridges academia and activism, influencing national conversations on LGBTQ+ education. He has received multiple awards, including the SSU President’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship, and is the namesake of the LGBTQ+ History Association's Don Romesburg Prize for outstanding K-12 curriculum in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer history.
His teaching spans intersectional feminist and queer teaching methods, undergraduate women’s and gender studies and history courses, and the development of LGBTQ-inclusive K-12 and higher education curriculum. Romesburg earned a Ph.D. in U.S. History with an interdisciplinary emphasis on Women, Gender, and Sexuality from the University of California, Berkeley, an MA in history from University of Colorado, Boulder, and a history BA from Claremont McKenna College. -

Morteza Roodgar DVM, PhD
Veterinarian Research Scientist, Genetics
BioDr. Morteza Roodgar is a veterinarian scientist with a research focus on Primate induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and long-read genomics tools.
Dr. Roodgar's research focus is on primate stem cell biology, immunology, and comparative genomics of nonhuman primate models for human diseases. The long-term goal of Dr. Roodgar's research is to Replace, Reduce and Refine (aka 3 R’s) the use of animals in biomedical research leveraging primate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and long-read genomic tools to speed up preclinical testing.
Previous research includes immunology and genomic susceptibility to infectious diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, TB) in nonhuman primate models, Preventive Veterinary Medicine and emerging zoonotic diseases (e.g., COVID-19 and Monkeypox). -
Aaron Roodman
Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics
BioAaron Roodman is a professor of Particle Physics & Astrophysics at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, specializing in observational cosmology. Trained in experimental particle physics, he spent two decades studying differences between Matter and antiMatter, before turning his research to astrophysics and cosmology. Roodman’s current research focuses on the study of Dark Energy using images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. He has played a major role in the construction of the LSST Camera, the world's largest digital camera, and is currently the leader of the LSST Camera program and Deputy Director of the Rubin Observatory for construction.

Michal Bental Roof
Academic Prog Prof 3, Pediatrics - Cardiology
Current Role at StanfordI joined the Cardiopulmonary Research Program of Drs. Rabinovitch and Bland at Stanford University in 2002, as the Academic and Research Program Officer, and since 2020 assumed my role at the Basic Science and Engineering (BASE) Initiative at the Betty Irene Moore Children's Heart Center, directed by Dr. Rabinovitch. I organize the educational activities of the lab, and assist the faculty and fellows with the preparation of grant proposals, IRB, APLAC and Biosafety protocols, manuscripts, and presentations. I served as the Site Coordinator for the Stanford Transplant Procurement Center of the Pulmonary Hypertension Breakthrough Initiative (PHBI), headed by Dr. Rabinovitch,that now evolved into the Stanford Transplant Tissue Bank. In this capacity, I oversee patient recruitment, data collection and reporting, and ensure compliance with university and federal guidelines. I coordinated and prepared the application for an Investigational New Drug (IND) and the pre-IND meeting that preceded that, for Elafin as a therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to the FDA in August 2017, and with the Study PIs coordinated the Phase 1 clinical trial “Safety and Tolerability of Escalating Doses of Subcutaneous Elafin (Tiprelestat) Injection in Healthy Normal Subjects” that followed.
From 2005-2015, I served as the Administrative Coordinator of the Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Science Scholarly Concentration for medical students at Stanford University School of Medicine. This includes facilitating communication of the four co-Directors with the School of Medicine Administration, the medical students, and the faculty mentors. An important component of this role is the coordination of the MED223 course, a medical school course where faculty and fellows present new developments in cardiovascular science in the form of a journal club. From 2013-2018, I was the coordinator for the NIH-NHLBI T32 “Mechanisms and Innovation in Vascular Disease” (PI: RL Dalman), and from 2013 to date for NIH-NHLBI K12 HL120001 “Stanford Career Development Program in ‘Omics’ of Lung Disease”. (PIs: M Rabinovitch, MR Nicolls and MP Snyder). This included recruitment of candidates, oversight of training activities, ensuring compliance with NIH and Stanford policies, and acting as a liaison between the trainees and the Directors to facilitate effective communication.
Prior to joining Stanford, I was Associate Director (Scientific Development Administrator) at the Institute for Medicine and Engineering, directed by Dr. Peter Davies at the University of Pennsylvania. In this role, I was the liaison with federal funding agencies and organized multi-investigator program projects and training grants. -

Charles Roques-Carmes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioCharles Roques-Carmes is a Science Fellow at Stanford and an incoming Assistant Professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). His lab studies and engineers subwavelength light–matter interactions to unlock quantum technologies, advanced microscopes, and next-generation communications and computing platforms—combining rigorous theory with ultrafast electron microscopy, X-ray imaging, and quantum sensing to turn insights into devices. Before joining ISTA, Charles was a Stanford Science Fellow at Stanford University and a Visiting Scientist at MIT, where he earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2022. Charles has delivered 40+ invited talks at major venues including APS, CLEO, and SPIE.
In 2025, he received the inaugural Photonics Innovation Award in honor of Federico Capasso for pioneering achievements that broaden photonics’ frontiers and connect fundamentals to real-world impact; Charles is widely regarded as one of the founders of the emerging field of nanophotonic scintillation. His honors include numerous distinctions such as Forbes 30 Under 30 (Science, 2023), the Stanford Science Fellowship, the MathWorks Engineering Fellowship, the Robert B. Guenassia Award, and a Carnot Foundation Fellowship. He holds M.S. degrees from MIT (2018) and École Polytechnique (2016), and a B.S. from École Polytechnique (2015).
