Lisa Yamada
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2015
BioLisa Yamada is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, working with Professor Paul Nuyujukian in the Brain Interfacing Laboratory at Stanford University. She is interested in applying data science and engineering tools for medical applications towards higher quality and more equitable care. As a computational neuroscientist and clinical research coordinator, she is currently investigating quantitative measures for seizure analyses using human neuroelectrophysiology data (e.g., intracortical EEGs of participants with refractory epilepsy). She graduated from Trinity College (Hartford, CT) with BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and earned her MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities like hiking.

Jerry Yang
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2020
Master of Arts Student in Education, admitted Winter 2022BioJerry A. Yang is a PhD student in electrical engineering at Stanford University. He received his BS in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. He currently works on strain engineering in two-dimensional materials in Prof. Eric Pop's lab. In addition, he works on exploring the role of internships in first-generation and low-income engineering students' professional identity development in Prof. Sheri Sheppard's Designing Education Lab. He is a member of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as well as a student member of the American Society of Engineering Education.
Jerry's research interests span both engineering, education, and the intersection of engineering and education. In the engineering field, his research interests include novel two-dimensional materials for next-generation computing, quantum computing, and flexible/wearable devices. In the education field, he is interested in diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering education, in particular the intersection of sociology, feminist theory, and queer theory and their applications to engineering education research methods and practice.
