Rohan Tan Bhowmik
Undergraduate, Electrical Engineering
BioI am an undergraduate student at Stanford University studying Computer Science and Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on artificial intelligence. I am constantly seeking to learn and develop new machine-learning techniques and build applications based on them, especially in the areas of health, environment, and human-computer interaction. I’m especially interested in brain-inspired computing for energy-efficient systems.
As a software engineering intern at AMD AI Group since June 2024, I’ve gained expertise in machine learning compilers and optimized model performance across diverse hardware architectures. I unified AI/ML model implementations for high-performance computing on CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators. I also developed masked and causal attention modules on Torch-MLIR and IREE, enabling models like LLaMa and Stable Diffusion on the AMD stack.
My other recent projects include the development of 1) a wildfire prediction method by analyzing trends in environmental, meteorological, and geological data with an aim to mitigate the impact of California’s devastating wildfire seasons, 2) a respiratory disease exacerbation prediction system based on a novel spatio-temporal artificial intelligence algorithm and local environmental sensor network, 3) a machine learning technique for automating patient facial condition assessment and surgery planning, 4) blood alcohol level estimation using infrared imaging and deep neural networks, and 5) a novel image recognition framework utilizing a quantum optical convolutional neural network.
I have published papers based on my research in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Environmental Management, IEEE Access, Electronics, and Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine. I have won top national awards in the USA Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Junior Math, Computing, and Biology Olympiads and was named Regeneron STS Top 300 Finalist in 2023.
Outside of academics, I play clarinet, tennis, and volunteer with organizations to help sensory-deficient individuals, including the Baker Institute for Children with Hearing Loss, Starkey Hearing Foundation, and VocaliD. -

Karan Bhuwalka
Research Engineer, Energy Science & Engineering
BioDr. Karan Bhuwalka leads the materials supply chain modeling at STEER, a research group that conducts rigorous techno-economic analysis to guide investment, innovation, and policy for the energy transition. Karan's research integrates economics, statistics, manufacturing and materials science to identify pathways to sustainably scale-up critical minerals production. Scaling-up energy supply chains rapidly while minimising life-cycle impacts requires aligning technology, markets and policies. STEER takes a systems approach that links engineering process models with supply and demand considerations to inform decision-making under uncertainty. Karan's current work is focused on modeling graphite production. Previous work spans lithium, nickel, recycled plastics systems and Bayesian modeling to reduce uncertainity in material demand.
