Alaa Eldin Abdelaal
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioAlaa Eldin Abdelaal is a postdoctoral scholar at the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University, working with Prof. Allison Okamura and Prof. Jeannette Bohg. He received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in December 2022. He was also a visiting graduate scholar at the Computational Interaction and Robotics Lab at Johns Hopkins University. During his PhD, he was co-advised by Prof. Tim Salcudean and Prof. Gregory Hager. He holds a M.Sc. in Computing Science from Simon Fraser University and a B.Sc. in Computer and Systems Engineering from Mansoura University in Egypt. His research interests are at the intersection of automation and human-robot interaction for human skill augmentation and decision support with application to surgical robotics. His research has been recognized with the Best Bench-to-Bedside Paper Award at the International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions (IPCAI) 2019. His research has been funded by a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, Intuitive Surgical Inc., and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) at Stanford University.

Chris Anderson
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioI am currently an IC postdoctoral fellow at the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab led by Jelena Vučković at Stanford University. I recently finished my PhD in Physics in the research group of David Awschalom at the University of Chicago in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. Generally, I'm interested in developing the physics and devices that will enable the next generation of quantum information technologies. Specifically, I work on creating photonic, mechanical and electrical devices combined with single optically active spin qubits in semiconductors. These engineered systems can be used in scalable quantum repeaters, long-distance entanglement distribution and in modular quantum computing. I am a former NDSEG fellow, and my previous research ranges from cellular biology and physical chemistry to attosecond pulsed lasers. My other passions include mentorship, and increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in quantum science.
