Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced soil carbon sequestration.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot. -
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.

Tyler Edward Cork
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2018
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrently, I am involved in two main projects. The first is developing 3D printing techniques to improve the accuracy of ex vivo geometrical and microstructural cardiac modeling from in vivo cardiac MR acquisitions. The second is applying machine learning applications to MRI data as a way to improve overall image quality and reduce acquisition time.

Madison George
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2023
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsExertional compartment syndrome (ECS) is a painful condition characterized by abnormally high muscle compartment pressures induced by exercise. The diagnostic procedure for ECS requires the insertion of a needle into the muscle to directly quantify pressure, which is a barrier to both patients and clinicians. We will develop and evaluate new MRI technologies to (1) increase understanding of the pathophysiology of this condition and (2) Improve clinical diagnosis of ECS.

Karolina Hasiec
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioKarolina’s research at King’s College London focused on neuroimaging and on how analytical methods can be tailored to the unique characteristics of different imaging tools. At Stanford, she is supporting research that investigates whether myelin plasticity can serve as a tractable therapeutic target to slow the progression of SYNGAP1-related intellectual disability - a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe, intractable epilepsy, significant cognitive impairment, and recognized as one of the leading genetic causes of autism. Through this work, she contributes to advancing understanding of how maladaptive myelination may underlie disease progression and to exploring new strategies for therapeutic intervention.

Ethan Li
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2018
BioI'm a final-year Bioengineering PhD candidate in Manu Prakash's lab. I work on projects to develop open platforms and tools for global health and frugal science. My practical work combines development and bring-up of new software, electronic, and mechanical systems; engineering design; open-source software maintenance; and field research.

Megan Martin
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am a Bioengineering PhD student in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory. My research interest is in advancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to understand brain physiology, enhance disease diagnosis, and improve patient care. Before joining Stanford Bioengineering in 2024, I investigated the impact of congenital heart defects on neurodevelopment as part of the Pediatric Heart and Brain Research Group at UCSF. I graduated from the University of San Francisco in 2021 with a BS in Chemistry and Mathematics.
