Owen Anderson
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Summer 2026
BioOwen Anderson is a first-year PhD student in Bioengineering at Stanford University. He earned his B.S. in Neuroscience from Case Western Reserve University, with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics. Prior to Stanford, he spent two years in the Baker and Machado labs at the Cleveland Clinic, contributing to preclinical and early-phase clinical studies of cerebellar deep brain stimulation for movement disorders and post-stroke motor recovery. At Case Western, he founded and led the Neurotechnology Club, directing an engineering team that prototyped an EEG-driven prosthetic hand using brain-computer interface methods and real-time neural signal processing. He also serves as Associate Director of the nonprofit Eleos, where he leads the AI in Medicine initiative — a curated database of AI–medicine literature designed to help clinicians and engineers integrate AI into neuromodulation and neurotechnology workflows. His research interests center on novel neural interfaces for high-spatiotemporal-resolution recording and stimulation, toward translational brain-machine systems and neuromodulatory therapies.

Eric Appel
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Bioengineering
On Partial Leave from 04/01/2026 To 06/30/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe underlying theme of the Appel Lab at Stanford University integrates concepts and approaches from supramolecular chemistry, natural/synthetic materials, and biology. We aim to develop supramolecular biomaterials that exploit a diverse design toolbox and take advantage of the beautiful synergism between physical properties, aesthetics, and low energy consumption typical of natural systems. Our vision is to use these materials to solve fundamental biological questions and to engineer advanced healthcare solutions.

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 bioremediation and resource recovery.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot. -
