Ada Poon
Ada received her Ph.D. degree from the EECS department at the University of California at Berkeley in 2004. Her dissertation attempted to connect information theory with electromagnetic theory so as to better understand the fundamental limit of wireless channels. Upon graduation, she spent one year at Intel as a senior research scientist building reconfigurable baseband processors for flexible radios. Afterwards, she joined her advisor’s startup company, SiBeam Inc., architecting Gigabit wireless transceivers leveraging 60 GHz CMOS and MIMO antenna systems.
Russell Poldrack
I grew up in a small town in Texas and attended Baylor University. After completing my PhD in experimental psychology at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, I spent four years as a postdoc at Stanford. I have held faculty positions at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and the University of Texas. I joined the Stanford faculty in 2014.
Anthony Norcia
My research program centers around spatial vision and involves the use of behavioral, oculomotor, electrophysiological and functional MRI techniques in humans. My research has focused for many years on normal visual development as well as abnormal visual development in patients with strabismus, autism, cortical visual impairment and neuro-developmental disorders more broadly. To inform this work, I also work with normal adults and animal models. I have published over 30 papers on the normal developmental process, the first in 1977.
Liqun Luo
Dr. Luo grew up in Shanghai, China, and earned his bachelor's degree in molecular biology from the University of Science and Technology of China. After obtaining his PhD in Brandeis University, and postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Luo started his own lab in the Department of Biology, Stanford University in December 1996. Together with his postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, Dr. Luo studies how neural circuits are assembled during development, and how their architectures enable them to perform specific functions in adults. Dr.
Jin Hyung Lee
The Lee Lab uses interdisciplinary approaches from biology and engineering to analyze, debug, and manipulate systems-level brain circuits. We seek to understand the connectivity and function of these large-scale networks in order to drive the development of new therapies for neurological diseases. This research finds its basic building blocks in areas ranging from medical imaging and signal processing to genetics and molecular biology.
Brian Knutson
My lab and I seek to elucidate the neural basis of emotion (affective neuroscience), and explore implications for decision-making (neuroeconomics) and psychopathology (neurophenomics).
Hannah Field
Hannah graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a double major in Physics and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. She received her Master of Engineering from MIT, where she designed power electronic systems for wireless neuromodulation and investigated the use of magnetothermal modulation to stimulate nerve growth. Hannah is currently pursuing her PhD in Bioengineering as a Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow, focusing on closed-loop neuromodulation of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Syamantak Payra
Syamantak (he/him) is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering in Professor Todd Coleman's group. As an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with minors in both Public Policy and Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
