Amrith graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Electrical Engineering, and he is now pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford with a neuroscience focus. As part of the collaborative Artificial Retina project, his research focuses on the design of efficient real-time control algorithms for a microelectrode array based retinal prosthesis to treat patients blinded by photoreceptor degeneration diseases.
Robert is pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering in Professor Jonathan Fan's group. He graduated from the University of British Columbia with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Robert previously worked on developing machine learning algorithms to design atomic silicon quantum dot circuits and accelerate the design process of nanophotonic devices. He is interested in building neural probe hardware and data-driven software solutions for new modalities of multielectrode, subthreshold stimulation to achieve the activation of neurons at the cellular level.
Itamar Terem is a PhD student at the department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. His research focuses on the development of computational and acquisition MRI techniques to explore the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamic (drivers and motion) through the brain ventricular system, subarachnoid and perivascular space in awake and sleep.

Lara is a PhD Candidate in Bioengineering whose research focuses on the characterization and optimization of human health, rehabilitation, and performance using physiological and biomechanical signal measured via wearable sensors. She received her BS in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Vermont in 2020 and her MS in Bioengineering from Stanford University in 2022. Her current research interests are in understanding the coordination of central (circadian rhythm) and peripheral clocks within the body.
