Biography

Zeinab Jahed joined the Jacobs School of Engineering in 2020, conducting research as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University. She obtained her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 2018, where she was part of the Departments of Mechanical and Bioengineering. Prior to that, she earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Waterloo in Canada, affiliated with the Departments of Mechanical, Mechatronics, and Chemical Engineering. Jahed's research focuses on several multidisciplinary areas, including nano-bioelectronics, data analytics, and the nano/bio interface. Her group aims to understand how biological systems respond to environmental cues at the nanoscale, leveraging this understanding to design non-invasive bio-electronic tools. Additionally, her work incorporates advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to analyze large datasets produced by high-throughput bio-electronic tools, addressing significant biological questions with high statistical confidence. Jahed has received numerous academic honors, including being ranked as one of the top 0.05% recipients of Canada’s Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2018, and she was ranked #1 nationally in the selection committee for the NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
