Hyongsok Tom Soh
W. M. Keck Foundation Professor of Electrical Engineering, Professor of Radiology (Diagnostic Sciences Laboratory) and of Bioengineering
On Partial Leave from 04/01/2026 To 06/30/2026BioDr. Soh received his B.S. with a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science with Distinction from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. From 1999 to 2003, Dr. Soh served as the technical manager of MEMS Device Research Group at Bell Laboratories and Agere Systems. He was a faculty member at UCSB before joining Stanford in 2015. His current research interests are in analytical biotechnology, especially in high-throughput screening, directed evolution, and integrated biosensors.

Dimosthenis Sokaras
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDimosthenis Sokaras is a Senior Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Director of the Chemistry and Catalysis Division at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). His efforts focus on leveraging and expanding SSRL’s capabilities to address emerging research priorities of the U.S. Department of Energy, with emphasis on energy conversion, catalysis, and next-generation technologies for industrial and national competitiveness. His work centers on the development and application of novel X-ray tools -including high energy resolution, time-resolved, and operando techniques- that enable experimental studies under realistic working conditions. He also leads the Integrated Scientific Agentic AI for Catalysis (ISAAC), a DOE Basic Energy Sciences AI Pathfinder project developing agentic AI for scientific reasoning and discovery in catalysis.
Together with his team, he bridges synthesis, performance evaluation, and advanced diagnostics with high-accuracy theoretical calculations on DOE supercomputing platforms. This integrated approach enables the interpretation of complex spectral signatures and the identification of transient and reactive states that remain inaccessible to conventional methods. Their efforts deepen fundamental understanding and support the design of more effective materials for catalysis and energy conversion.
Dr. Sokaras plays a leading role in shaping SSRL’s strategic direction and strengthening its synergy with other SLAC programs and DOE national initiatives. Mentorship and team development are central to his role, and he actively builds cross-disciplinary teams that expand the facility’s scientific reach and long-term impact. -

Elsa Sola
Instructor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCirrhosis is a common condition and is associated with recurrent complications. Therapeutic options are limited and the management of complications has been similar for the past decades. The only definitive treatment is liver transplantation; however, this is limited by the number of organs and the risk of complications on the waiting list. Patients with cirrhosis present with profound immune disturbances, but to date there are no therapeutic strategies to restore immune responses.
Dr Sola’s research interest if focused on understanding the mechanisms of immune dysfunction in cirrhosis to guide the development of future therapeutic options. With her research background in Hepatology and Immunology, Dr Sola is using novel techniques to improve the understanding of cirrhosis progression. She is leveraging her skills in human organoids to develop cirrhosis-derived immune organoids as a platform for investigating mechanisms of immune dysfunction and screening new therapeutic options. -
Guillermo Solano-Flores
Professor of Education
On Leave from 04/01/2026 To 06/30/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrent research projects examine academic language and testing, formative assessment practices for culturally diverse science classrooms, and the design and use of illustrations in international test comparisons and in the testing of English language learners.

Cristian Felipe Soler Reyes
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioCristian Felipe Soler Reyes received a Ph.D. in Latin American and Iberian Studies from Stanford University in 2023. His research looks at different Latin American art forms (painting, sculpture, cinema, literature, etc.) from the last 30 years with a transnational, cross-cultural, and transdisciplinary lens.
Cristian also created and chairs the research group “Comics: More than Words,” which has become a hub for interdisciplinary thought and for diversity. Students from different backgrounds come together in this space to learn from each other and to share their different perspectives. -
Olav Solgaard
Audrey S. Hancock Professor in the School of Engineering
BioThe Solgaard group focus on design and fabrication of nano-photonics and micro-optical systems. We combine photonic crystals, optical meta-materials, silicon photonics, and MEMS, to create efficient and reliable systems for communication, sensing, imaging, and optical manipulation.

Edward I. Solomon
Monroe E. Spaght Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProf. Solomon's work spans physical-inorganic, bioinorganic, and theoretical-inorganic chemistry, focusing on spectroscopic elucidation of the electronic structure of transition metal complexes and its contribution to reactivity. He has advanced our understanding of metal sites involved in electron transfer, copper sites involved in O2 binding, activation and reduction to water, structure/function correlations over non-heme iron enzymes, and correlation of biological to heterogeneous catalysis.
