Ram Rajagopal
Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioRam Rajagopal is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, where he directs the Stanford Sustainable Systems Lab (S3L), focused on large-scale monitoring, data analytics and stochastic control for infrastructure networks, in particular, power networks. His current research interests in power systems are in the integration of renewables, smart distribution systems, and demand-side data analytics.
He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and an M.A. in Statistics, both from the University of California Berkeley, Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Texas, Austin and Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, Powell Foundation Fellowship, Berkeley Regents Fellowship and the Makhoul Conjecture Challenge award. He holds more than 30 patents and several best paper awards from his work and has advised or founded various companies in the fields of sensor networks, power systems, and data analytics. -
Antonio Ricco
Affiliate, Program-Howe, R.
BioTony Ricco received BS and PhD degrees in Chemistry from UC Berkeley (1980) and MIT (1984), respectively. In Sandia National Laboratories’ Microsensor R&D Department (1984 – 1998), he developed chemical microsensors and integrated microsystems. He was guest professor at the University of Heidelberg's Applied Physical Chemistry Institute (winter 1996 – 1997). From 1999 – 2003, he was ACLARA BioSciences’ Director of Microtechnologies and Materials, developing consumable plastic microfluidic systems for genetic analysis, high-throughput pharmaceutical discovery, proteomics, and pathogen detection. He directed Stanford’s National Center for Space Biological Technologies from 2004 – 2007; from 2007 – 2024, he served as NASA Ames Research Center’s Chief Technologist for Small Payloads while on assignment from Stanford University. From 2003 - 2016, he was a founding member, then adjunct professor, at the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute (BDI, Dublin City University), developing single-platform point-of-care medical diagnostic devices for platelet function, infectious disease, and cardiovascular health. In 2024, he retired from Stanford and joined NASA Ames Research Center as the Instrument Manager for the Programs & Projects Directorate, where he is currently employed.
Dr. Ricco is co-author of some 450 presentations, 300 publications, and 20 patents. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and of The Electrochemical Society (ECS), former president of ECS's Sensor Division, and, from 2004 – 20024, was Vice President of the Transducer Research Foundation (TRF). He was an editor of the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems (JMEMS) from 2000 – 2019.
At NASA, Tony works with teams that develop, launch, and operate remote, autonomous bioanalytical and spectroscopy systems for fundamental space biological and astrobiological studies, serving as chief technologist for multiple successful "cubesat" spaceflight missions incorporating living organisms. He is presently adapting these spaceflight technologies to the challenge of searching for molecular indicators of the presence of life on our solar system's "icy worlds", in particular Europa and Enceladus, as well as developing systems to seek molecular evidence of ancient life beneath the surface of Mars. -

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.
