Angelo Dragone
Associate Professor of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioAngelo Dragone is an Associate Professor of Photon Science and Electrical Engineering (by courtesy). He has over 20 years of experience in the research and development of Instrumentation for Scientific experiments. He received his Ph.D. in Microelectronics from the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, for his research on mixed-signal readout architecture for radiation detectors, conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He worked in the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2004, before joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in 2008. Over the past 15 years, he has been designing radiation detectors, with a focus on innovative architectural solutions for state-of-the-art scientific instruments and sensor interfaces. These solutions have applications in photon science, particle physics, medical imaging, and national security. At SLAC, he focused his research on designing high frame rate, large dynamic range X-ray detectors for the Linac Coherent Light Source SLAC X-ray Free-electron Laser facility. Since 2012, he has held a management position as head of the Integrated Circuits Department within the Instrumentation Division of the Technology Innovation Directorate (TID) at SLAC. During the past three years, Dr. Dragone has been working on the strategic R&D planning for the SLAC X-ray detectors Initiative and leads, as Program Director, TID Detector R&D, and the applied Microelectronics program. Recently, he has been appointed as Deputy Associate Lab Director for TID strategy. His current research interests are on ultra-fast X-ray detector architectures for X-ray Free-Electron Lasers applications and developing efficient, scalable systems with "smart" real-time processing capabilities. More broadly, he is interested in understanding the fundamental performance limits of radiation detection systems.

Shaul Druckmann
Associate Professor of Neurobiology, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research goal is to understand how dynamics in neuronal circuits relate and constrain the representation of information and computations upon it. We adopt three synergistic strategies: First, we analyze neural circuit population recordings to better understand the relation between neural dynamics and behavior, Second, we theoretically explore the types of dynamics that could be associated with particular network computations. Third, we analyze the structural properties of neural circuits.

John Duchi
Associate Professor of Statistics, of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy work spans statistical learning, optimization, information theory, and computation, with a few driving goals: 1. To discover statistical learning procedures that optimally trade between real-world resources while maintaining statistical efficiency. 2. To build efficient large-scale optimization methods that move beyond bespoke solutions to methods that robustly work. 3. To develop tools to assess and guarantee the validity of---and confidence we should have in---machine-learned systems.

Robert Dutton
Robert and Barbara Kleist Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioDutton's group develops and applies computer aids to process modeling and device analysis. His circuit design activities emphasize layout-related issues of parameter extraction and electrical behavior for devices that affect system performance. Activities include primarily silicon technology modeling both for digital and analog circuits, including OE/RF applications. New emerging area now includes bio-sensors and the development of computer-aided bio-sensor design.
