  • Richelle Smith

    Richelle Smith

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering

    BioRichelle L. Smith is a Postdoctoral Scholar and Instructor at Stanford University in Electrical Engineering. She received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering-Electrophysics from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2017, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 2019 and 2024, respectively.

    Her research interests include analog/mixed-signal circuit design and energy-efficient systems, with a focus on phase-domain communications and computing. Recent projects encompass oscillatory computing for combinatorial optimization, quantum computing emulation with oscillator circuits, brain-inspired/neuromorphic circuit design, as well as wireline transceivers and phase-domain/edge modulation signaling.

    She has acted as a technical consultant to Rambus Labs. She has held internship positions at Linear Technology, Rambus Labs, Stanford Brains in Silicon Lab, TDK-InvenSense, and Silicon Laboratories. She holds 5 U.S. patents. Dr. Smith serves as a Reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—Part I: Regular Papers, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—Part II: Express Briefs, and IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems.

  • Selene Wang Sobek

    Selene Wang Sobek

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry

    BioSelene’s research focuses on understanding how stress and early-life experiences shape the neural circuits involved in opioid addiction and relapse. Her previous work examined how stress-related changes in brain reward circuits can increase vulnerability to opioid seeking following abstinence. This work inspired a broader interest in how dopamine and opioid signaling interact to influence addictive behaviors. Her current research investigates how ibogaine affects the neural systems associated with opioid addiction and explores whether understanding its mechanisms could contribute to developing more effective treatments for opioid use disorder.

    Aamir Sohail

    Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Psychology

    BioI am a PhD student in Psychology based at the Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH), University of Birmingham, and a Visiting Student Researcher at the Departments of Psychology and Sociology at Stanford University.

    My research interests involve using experimental tasks and computational modeling to understand social decision-making in humans and AI. I am also more broadly interested in the impact of AI on society, and towards how science is conducted.
