Thierry Rietsch
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioAs a software engineer at heart, I've always been fascinated by the power of technology to solve complex problems. My journey in the tech industry has been a blend of technical expertise and a passion for design. This unique combination has driven my approach to innovation and shaped my career as I navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape.
I'm currently pouring my energy into Bontrebo, my latest venture focused on creating massive positive social impact. This startup is more than just a business to me; it's a manifestation of my belief that technology should be used for the greater good. Prior to Bontrebo, I founded and grew a successful software engineering agency, an experience that honed my leadership and scaling skills.
Beyond my entrepreneurial endeavours, I am deeply committed to sharing my knowledge and experience. As a lecturer in innovation and leadership at the prestigious Zurich University of the Arts, I have the opportunity to inspire and educate others.

Juan Rivas-Davila
Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsModern applications demand power capabilities beyond what is presently achievable. High performance systems need high power density and bandwidth that are difficult to achieve.
Power density can be improved with better semiconductors and passive componets, and by reducing the energy storage requirements of the system. By dramatically increasing switching frequency it is possible to reduce size of power converters. I'm interested in high performance/frequency circuits switching >10 MHz. -
Eric Roberts
The Charles Simonyi Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioFrom 1990-2002, Roberts served as associate chair and director of undergraduate studies for the Computer Science Department before being appointed as Senior Associate Dean in the School of Engineering and later moving on to become Faculty Director for Interdisciplinary Science Education in the office of the VPUE.

Stephen Rock
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Emeritus
BioProfessor Rock's research interests include the application of advanced control and modeling techniques for robotic and vehicle systems (aerospace and underwater). He directs the Aerospace Robotics Laboratory in which students are involved in experimental programs designed to extend the state-of-the-art in robotic control. Areas of emphasis include planning and navigation techniques (GPS and vision-based) for autonomous vehicles; aerodynamic modeling and control for aggressive flight systems; underwater remotely-operated vehicle control; precision end-point control of manipulators in the presence of flexibility and uncertainty; and cooperative control of multiple manipulators and multiple robots. Professor Rock teaches several courses in dynamics and control.
