Sujay Banerjee
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI develop deep learning models for genomic and molecular data to advance precision medicine. My work spans deep learning-based methods for structural variant detection in genome sequencing, diabetetes risk prediction, and protein–ligand binding affinities predicion. I’m broadly interested in how AI can accelerate drug discovery, uncover disease mechanisms, and improve individualized healthcare.

Somil Bansal
Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioSomil Bansal is an assistant professor at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford. Before joining Stanford, he was an assistant professor in the ECE department at the University of Southern California. He received an MS and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) from the University of California at Berkeley in 2014 and 2020, respectively. Before that, he obtained a B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 2012. After his PhD, he spent a year as a Research Scientist at Waymo (formerly known as the Google Self-Driving Car project). He has also collaborated closely with companies like Skydio, Google, Boeing, as well as NASA AMES/JPL. Somil is broadly interested in developing mathematical tools and algorithms for the control and analysis of safety-critical autonomous and robotic systems, with a special emphasis on ensuring the safety of learning-enabled systems. Somil has received several awards, most notably the NSF CAREER award, the Eli Jury Award at UC Berkeley for his doctoral research, the RSS Pioneer Award, and the Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award.
