Alex Abramson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Chemical Engineering
BioMy passion is to create medical devices that make a difference in quality of life for patients worldwide. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab developing flexible electronic devices for physiologic status monitoring. I received my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT working under Profs. Robert Langer and Giovanni Traverso, where my research focused on developing ingestible robotic capsules for oral biologic drug delivery. I am passionate about mentorship as well as entrepreneurship, and I volunteer locally to support STEM innovation in my community. Check out my website in the links section for more information in my research.

Rika Antonova
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford IPRL lab and a recipient of a CI Fellowship from NSF/CRA for research on active learning of transferable priors, kernels, and latent representations for robotics. My research interests include reinforcement learning and Bayesian optimization. I completed my PhD work on data-efficient simulation-to-reality transfer at the Robotics, Perception and Learning lab in KTH, Stockholm. Previously, I was a Masters student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, developing Bayesian optimization approaches for learning control parameters for bipedal locomotion (with Akshara Rai and Chris Atkeson). During my time at CMU my MS advisor was Emma Brunskill and in her group I worked on developing reinforcement learning algorithms for education. Prior to that, I was a software engineer at Google, first in the Search Personalization group and then in the Character Recognition team (developing open-source OCR engine Tesseract).

Nils Averesch
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioNils is a Postdoc in the Criddle Group, funded by the Stanford Natural Gas Initiative. As member of the Center for the Utilization of Biological Engineering in Space (CUBES) he focuses on engineering gas-fermenting microbes towards production of aromatic polyesters as sustainable alternative to petrochemistry-derived plastics.
Before joining Stanford, Nils was task lead of Synthetic Biology with Universities Space Research Association as an Associate Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center. He received his PhD from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, in Metabolic Engineering working at the Advanced Water Management Centre. Nils holds an engineer’s degree (Dipl. Ing.) in Biochemical Engineering, from the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany. -
Tolga Birdal
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Computer Science
BioTolga Birdal is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Geometric Computing group of Prof. Leonidas Guibas. He has recently defended his PhD thesis at the Computer Vision Group, Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures, Technical University of Munich and was a Doktorand at Siemens AG. He completed his Bachelors as an Electronics Engineer at the Sabanci University in 2008. In his subsequent postgraduate programme, he studied Computational Science and Engineering at Technical University of Munich. In continuation to his Master's thesis on “3D Deformable Surface Recovery Using RGBD Cameras”, he focused his research and development on large object detection, pose estimation and reconstruction using point clouds. Tolga is awarded both Ernst von Siemens Scholarship and EMVA Young Professional Award 2016 for his PhD work. He has several publications at the well respected venues such as NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, IROS, ICASSP and 3DV. Aside from his academic life, Tolga is a natural Entrepreneur. He has co-founded multiple companies including Befunky, a widely used web based image processing platform. For further information, visit tbirdal.me and http://campar.in.tum.de/Main/TolgaBirdal.

Leeya Engel
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Chemical Engineering
BioMy long term professional goal is to lead academic research that probes cell behavior using custom bio-microsystems and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). In my PhD I designed, fabricated, and characterized innovative electroactive polymer micro-actuators. In the Pruitt lab at Stanford I studied metrology of cell forces and techniques to interface between silicon devices with biological cells. In the Dunn lab, I am applying microfluidic platforms to study developmental biology and improve throughput of cellular cryo-ET through protein micropatterning.
