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.

R. Lanier Anderson
J. E. Wallace Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Professor of Philosophy and, by courtesy, of German Studies and of English
BioR. Lanier Anderson (Professor of Philosophy, J.E. Wallace Sterling Professor in Humanities) works in the history of late modern philosophy and has focused primarily on Kant and his influence on nineteenth century philosophy. He is the author of The Poverty of Conceptual Truth (OUP, 2015) and many articles on Kant, Nietzsche, and the neo-Kantian movement. Some papers include “It Adds Up After All: Kant’s Philosophy of Arithmetic in Light of the Traditional Logic” (Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 2004), “Nietzsche on Truth, Illusion, and Redemption” (European Journal of Philosophy, 2005), “What is a Nietzschean Self?” in Janaway and Robertson, eds., Nietzsche, Naturalism, and Normativity (OUP, 2011), and “‘What is the Meaning of our Cheerfulness?’: Philosophy as a Way of Life in Nietzsche and Montaigne” (European Journal of Philosophy, 2018). Current research interests include Kant’s theoretical philosophy, Nietzsche’s moral psychology, Montaigne, and special topics concerning existentialism and the relations between philosophy and literature (see, e.g., “Is Clarissa Dalloway Special?” Philosophy and Literature, 2017). He has been at Stanford since 1996, and has also taught at Harvard, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Penn. With Joshua Landy (Comparative Literature, French), he has been instrumental in Stanford’s Philosophy and Literature Initiative. He currently serves Stanford as Senior Associate Dean for Humanities and Arts.

Rodney U. Anderson, MD FACS
Professor (Clinical) of Urology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsClinical Medical Research devoted to tertiary level application of treatment modalities for neurologic and functional disturbances of the genitourinary tract. Problems such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, urinary flow dysfunction (BPH), impotence, and chronic pelvic pain syndromes are addressed. New medical devices and technology for treating these disorders are investigated
