Shraman Kar
Undergraduate, Computer Science
BioShraman is passionate about building technology projects using artificial intelligence and state-of-the-art large language models to solve problems of the community and the environment. Shraman's passion project, Foodle (www.thefoodle.org) built on technology and artificial intelligence could make a difference in solving hunger and food waste at the same time. He wanted to share his knowledge and ideas with as many youths as possible so that together they can build technology products for the communities.
To unleash the potential of AI for social good Shraman cofounded a 501(c)(3) organization Community AI (www.thecommunityai.org) in the year 2000. They created a customized course of Machine Learning suitable for a wide range of school-going youth and delivered via free camps. The camps became very popular and they could mentor students from 58 countries and all 50 US states. The members have several projects to help the community and the environment- ranging from automatic trash segregation to detecting wildfire before it happens and many more. To encourage more students to build AI-driven projects we provided funds/prizes via the AI Fair called Sustainability and Community AI Fair (www.communityaifair.com). -
Kian Katanforoosh
Adjunct Lecturer, Computer Science
BioKian Katanforoosh is a computer scientist and lecturer at Stanford University, where he teaches Deep Learning in the Computer Science department with Prof. Andrew Ng. He is a founding member of DeepLearning.AI, co-creator of the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera, and founder of Workera (www.workera.ai), a self-assessment platform where people evaluate their job competencies with AI-powered assessments and find their career pathways. From 2014 to 2016, Kian co-founded and co-led Daskit, a French start-up developing in-classroom ed-tech solutions for universities.
Kian holds Master's degrees from Stanford University and Ecole CentraleSupelec (formerly Ecole Centrale Paris). At Stanford, he received both the Walter J. Gores award (Stanford’s highest teaching award) and the Centennial award for Excellence in teaching.
His family migrated from Iran to France, and he grew up next to Paris. -
Monroe Kennedy III
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus is to develop technology that improves everyday life by anticipating and acting on the needs of human counterparts. My research can be divided into the following sub-categories: robotic assistants, connected devices and intelligent wearables. My Assistive Robotics and Manipulation lab focuses heavily on both the analytical and experimental components of assistive technology design.
