→ Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
→ Grew an interest in the medical device field through self led research in developing a prosthetic for a user with a congenital limb deficiency of the hand.
→ Later grew passionate about Minimally Invasive Surgery through industry experience in Neuroendovascular Surgery.
→ Strongly believe that Minimally Invasive Surgical Robotics is an imperative step to catalyzing a paradigm shift in significantly improving patient outcomes and broadening scope of impact. -
Muhammad Abdulla
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
REU Graduate Coordinator, Electrical Engineering
Student Assistant, Electrical EngineeringCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research is focused on how motor control is encoded at a neuronal level. On the theoretical side, I develop mathematical methods for analyzing neural data and modeling the relationships between neurons and motor function. On the applied side, I build computational frameworks for processing large datasets and interfacing with hardware. My goals are to gain insights on how networks of neurons work in harmony to generate movement and to improve the design of brain-machine interfaces.

Matthew Alexander Abikenari
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Molecular Basis of Medicine / Immunology, expected graduation Spring 2028
BioMatthew earned his undergraduate degree summa cum laude from UCLA, where he conducted full-time basic and clinical neuroscience research investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease. He subsequently completed a graduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford as The Queen’s College Herbruck Scholar, an award granted to only one American student per year, where his research focused on paraneoplastic autoimmunity and spatial genomic regulation of malignant CNS neoplasms.
As a medical student at Stanford University, Matthew has trained under the mentorship of Dr. Michael Lim, developing expertise in translational neuro-oncology, in order to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive immunosuppression in glioblastoma. His research has centered on glial immunology and the metabolic organization of the tumor microenvironment, with particular emphasis on intercellular organelle transfer and immunometabolic reprogramming of tumor-infiltrating immune cells.
His family’s experience with brain cancer continues to ground his work and deepen his commitment to understanding, and ultimately improving, neurosurgical oncology.
