Anka Reuel
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCompared to the technical advancements in AI, the area of technical AI ethics is significantly understudied. Novel, complex autonomous systems are being developed without devoting enough time to their potential negative implications and how they can be mitigated. Given the increasing use of such systems throughout society, this discrepancy sparked Anka's interest in contributing to research in responsible AI, both from a technical and a governance perspective.

Antonio Ricco
Affiliate, Program-Senesky, D.
BioTony Ricco received BS and PhD degrees in Chemistry from UC Berkeley (1980) and MIT (1984), respectively. In Sandia National Laboratories’ Microsensor R&D Department (1984 – 1998), he developed chemical microsensors and integrated microsystems. He was guest professor at the University of Heidelberg's Applied Physical Chemistry Institute (winter 1996 – 1997). From 1999 – 2003, he was ACLARA BioSciences’ Director of Microtechnologies and Materials, developing consumable plastic microfluidic systems for genetic analysis, high-throughput pharmaceutical discovery, proteomics, and pathogen detection. He directed Stanford’s National Center for Space Biological Technologies from 2004 – 2007; from 2007 – 2024, he served as NASA Ames Research Center’s Chief Technologist for Small Payloads while on assignment from Stanford University. From 2003 - 2016, he was a founding member, then adjunct professor, at the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute (BDI, Dublin City University), developing single-platform point-of-care medical diagnostic devices for platelet function, infectious disease, and cardiovascular health. In 2024, he retired from Stanford and joined NASA Ames Research Center as the Instrument Manager for the Programs & Projects Directorate, where he is currently employed.
Dr. Ricco is co-author of some 450 presentations, 300 publications, and 20 patents. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and of The Electrochemical Society (ECS), former president of ECS's Sensor Division, and, from 2004 – 20024, was Vice President of the Transducer Research Foundation (TRF). He was an editor of the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems (JMEMS) from 2000 – 2019.
At NASA, Tony works with teams that develop, launch, and operate remote, autonomous bioanalytical and spectroscopy systems for fundamental space biological and astrobiological studies, serving as chief technologist for multiple successful "cubesat" spaceflight missions incorporating living organisms. He is presently adapting these spaceflight technologies to the challenge of searching for molecular indicators of the presence of life on our solar system's "icy worlds", in particular Europa and Enceladus, as well as developing systems to seek molecular evidence of ancient life beneath the surface of Mars. -

Mouhssine Rifaki
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on sample complexity reduction in reinforcement learning by exploiting latent structure in Markov decision processes such as low-rank Q-functions, spectral gaps, and manifold geometry. My broader interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning, control theory, and multi-agent systems, with applications to autonomous driving and adaptive sensing.

Ellen Youngsoo Rim
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
BioPlants are increasingly vulnerable to environmental stressors—such as pathogen infection, drought, and heat—from climate change. These challenges threaten global food security and limit the carbon sequestration potential of plants. Our research goal is to sustainably enhance plant productivity and resilience through protein engineering. We engineer proteins involved in plant immune and hormone signaling pathways using directed evolution in high-throughput single cell systems. Directed evolution is a synthetic biology approach that enables rapid development of proteins with novel or improved functions. We combine this approach with machine learning, which allows us to learn from large datasets generated during the directed evolution process. Engineered proteins are then introduced into plants to enhance crop yields and climate resilience.

Juan Rivas-Davila
Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsModern applications demand power capabilities beyond what is presently achievable. High performance systems need high power density and bandwidth that are difficult to achieve.
Power density can be improved with better semiconductors and passive componets, and by reducing the energy storage requirements of the system. By dramatically increasing switching frequency it is possible to reduce size of power converters. I'm interested in high performance/frequency circuits switching >10 MHz. -
Eric Roberts
The Charles Simonyi Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioFrom 1990-2002, Roberts served as associate chair and director of undergraduate studies for the Computer Science Department before being appointed as Senior Associate Dean in the School of Engineering and later moving on to become Faculty Director for Interdisciplinary Science Education in the office of the VPUE.

Stephen Rock
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Emeritus
BioProfessor Rock's research interests include the application of advanced control and modeling techniques for robotic and vehicle systems (aerospace and underwater). He directs the Aerospace Robotics Laboratory in which students are involved in experimental programs designed to extend the state-of-the-art in robotic control. Areas of emphasis include planning and navigation techniques (GPS and vision-based) for autonomous vehicles; aerodynamic modeling and control for aggressive flight systems; underwater remotely-operated vehicle control; precision end-point control of manipulators in the presence of flexibility and uncertainty; and cooperative control of multiple manipulators and multiple robots. Professor Rock teaches several courses in dynamics and control.

Carlos Jose Rodriguez Santiago
Ph.D. Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioCarlos Rodriguez Santiago is a Chemical Engineering PhD candidate working in the lab of Dr. Judith Shizuru to develop protein therapeutics that will facilitate hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without the need for chemotherapy or radiation. His PhD thesis work is at the intersection of immunology, oncology, and protein engineering. Carlos is also a Sarafan CheM-H Lipshultz Graduate Fellow participating in the Chemistry/Biology Interface (CBI) Predoctoral training program which aims to cultivate interactions and thinking across disciplinary lines to enable innovations that improve human health.
Prior to his PhD work, Carlos helped found the Protein Engineering Knowledge Center (PEKC) at Stanfords Innovative Medicines Accelerator (IMA). There he collaborated with researchers to discover and engineer antibodies against therapeutically relevant targets. Several antibodies discovered by Carlos have officially been licensed out for further therapeutic development. -
