Her work advances regulatory science through modeling and simulation because she believes the future of medical device design and evaluation, and thus patient care, lies with computation and enhanced visualization. Allison Okamura is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University.

Jeff Sakamoto is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan where he studies solution-based synthesis of porous materials. The ability to order interconnected porosity at multiple length scales provides a modular experimental platform enabling investigations into the interplay between micro-meso-macro pore morphology and mass/charge transport for energy storage and biomedicine.
