Edric Camacho
Undergraduate, Electrical Engineering
BioEdric Camacho is a transfer undergraduate student from Sierra College studying Electrical Engineering. Before Stanford and community college, Edric served in the US Navy for 6 years as a Machinist's Mate Nuclear (MMN) performing duties as an Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT) onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). His duties during his time in the Navy ranged from sampling water chemistry of the reactor plant and secondary systems to managing all generated radioactive material onboard the ship.
After separation, Edric pursued education at Sierra College, and within a year, earned his Associate's Degree in Natural Sciences with a 4.00 GPA. Outside of coursework, Edric was an active member of the community, either tutoring students in math and chemistry to volunteering at his local library. Notable work at Sierra College include conducting a research project regarding relevant chemistry principles in the operation of nuclear reactors and organizing a nuclear reactor tour with the UC Davis TRIGA research reactor in Sacramento, CA.
During Summer 2026, Edric conducted research at Yale University under Professor Konrad Lehnert in the Department of Physics to support the quantum measurement chain utilized by his research group. More specifically, Edric developed a RF System-on-a-Chip configuration (RFSoC) to obtain S21 measurements out of the microwave superconducting circuits that the Lehnert Lab develops and tests via a combination of Python code, the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK), and by emulation of commercial vector network analyzer equipment. This is achieved by using the RFSoC's DAC as a signal generator and 2 ADCs as a dual-channel, simultaneous dual-readout scheme. This scheme was then validated by testing frequency-dependent attenuation behavior of filters of known values and comparing these values to the experimentally obtained values from the RFSoC VNA. -
Emmanuel Candes
Barnum-Simons Chair of Math and Statistics, Professor of Statistics, Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and Professor, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioEmmanuel Candès is the Barnum-Simons Chair in Mathematics and Statistics, a professor of electrical engineering (by courtesy) and a member of the Institute of Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. Earlier, Candès was the Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology. His research interests are in computational harmonic analysis, statistics, information theory, signal processing and mathematical optimization with applications to the imaging sciences, scientific computing and inverse problems. He received his Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford University in 1998.
Candès has received several awards including the Alan T. Waterman Award from NSF, which is the highest honor bestowed by the National Science Foundation, and which recognizes the achievements of early-career scientists. He has given over 60 plenary lectures at major international conferences, not only in mathematics and statistics but in many other areas as well including biomedical imaging and solid-state physics. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2014.
