Muhammad Abdulla
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
REU Graduate Coordinator, Electrical Engineering
Student Assistant, Electrical EngineeringCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research is focused on how motor control is encoded at a neuronal level. On the theoretical side, I develop mathematical methods for analyzing neural data and modeling the relationships between neurons and motor function. On the applied side, I build computational frameworks for processing large datasets and interfacing with hardware. My goals are to gain insights on how networks of neurons work in harmony to generate movement and to improve the design of brain-machine interfaces.

Anas Alharbi
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI’m a graduate international student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (Atmosphere/Energy) program at Stanford University, with a background in Chemical Engineering. My interests sit at the intersection of sustainability, energy systems, and data-driven decision-making.
In my professional career, I have managed projects that required both technical depth and business judgment. My work often involves data analysis to evaluate projects from technical and financial perspectives and turn results into clear recommendations for decision-makers.
I also hold an MBA and I’m a CFA Charterholder. I’m especially interested in decarbonization strategy, environmental performance, and energy/climate finance.
Outside of class, I enjoy all kinds of physical activities, even though I’m still a beginner. -
Nancy Ammar
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioNancy Y. Ammar received her B.Sc. degree (with honors) in electronics and communication engineering from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, in 2019. In her senior year, she worked as an undergraduate Research Assistant in the Microwaves and Antenna Research Lab at Ain Shams University. She worked as an IC design consultant at Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics previously).

Owen Anderson
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Summer 2026
BioOwen Anderson is a first-year PhD student in Bioengineering at Stanford University. He earned his B.S. in Neuroscience from Case Western Reserve University, with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics. Prior to Stanford, he spent two years in the Baker and Machado labs at the Cleveland Clinic, contributing to preclinical and early-phase clinical studies of cerebellar deep brain stimulation for movement disorders and post-stroke motor recovery. At Case Western, he founded and led the Neurotechnology Club, directing an engineering team that prototyped an EEG-driven prosthetic hand using brain-computer interface methods and real-time neural signal processing. He also serves as Associate Director of the nonprofit Eleos, where he leads the AI in Medicine initiative — a curated database of AI–medicine literature designed to help clinicians and engineers integrate AI into neuromodulation and neurotechnology workflows. His research interests center on novel neural interfaces for high-spatiotemporal-resolution recording and stimulation, toward translational brain-machine systems and neuromodulatory therapies.

Leni Aniva
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interest is Machine-Assisted Theorem Proving, which refers to using machine-learning agents to find proofs of mathematical theorems and conduct reasoning. We are pursuing a hybrid algorithm between neural networks and SMT solvers to solve some of the long standing problems facing machine learning models today such as opaqueness, hallucinations, and information leakage. I also do research on SMT solvers and automatic verifications of programs.

Elijah Appelson
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioElijah Appelson is an activist, mathematician, and computational social scientist. From 2023 to 2025, he served as the first data analyst/scientist at the ACLU of Louisiana, focusing on immigration, policing, and the broader criminal legal system. There, he conducted statistical analyses for legal cases, supported policy change, and developed educational tools, including "Visualizing Police Violence in Louisiana" and "Policing in Louisiana: By the Facts". He is skilled in web scraping, predictive modeling, and data storytelling, and uses these tools to create accountability. Prior to the ACLU, he held roles at the Center for Community Alternatives and the Vera Institute of Justice, intersecting technical expertise with a commitment to civil rights. His academic interests center on using machine learning to hold state violence accountable through education, policy, and law.
