Kathleen Poston, MD, MS
Edward F. and Irene Thiele Pimley Professor of Neurology and the Neurological Sciences and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research addresses one of the most devastating and poorly treated symptoms that can develop in people with Parkinson's disease - Dementia. We use biological markers, multi-modal neuroimaging and genetics to understand the different underlying causes of dementia and to understand why dementia develops more quickly in some patients, but not others.

Dr. Sanjay Kumar Prabhakar
Affiliate, Stanford PULSE Institute
BioDr. Prabhakar is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Northwest Missouri State University and a Visiting Faculty member at the Stanford PULSE Institute. He has taught a variety of undergraduate physics courses at Northwest Missouri State University, including algebra-based physics, calculus-based physics, quantum mechanics, and classical physics.
Dr. Prabhakar is a theoretical physicist whose research focuses on applying ab initio methods, tight-binding models, and continuum modeling to investigate the properties of quantum materials for applications in solid-state quantum computing and materials science. His work combines density functional theory (Quantum ESPRESSO), finite element modeling (COMSOL Multiphysics), and computational tools such as MATLAB and Python to study the electronic structure and quantum properties of low-dimensional materials, quantum dots, and other condensed matter systems.

Manu Prakash
Associate Professor of Bioengineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Oceans
BioWe use interdisciplinary approaches including theory and experiments to understand how computation is embodied in biological matter. Examples include cognition in single cell protists and morphological computing in animals with no neurons and origins of complex behavior in multi-cellular systems. Broadly, we invent new tools for studying non-model organisms with significant focus on life in the ocean - addressing fundamental questions such as how do cells sense pressure or gravity? Finally, we are dedicated towards inventing and distributing “frugal science” tools to democratize access to science (previous inventions used worldwide: Foldscope, Abuzz), diagnostics of deadly diseases like malaria and convening global citizen science communities to tackle planetary scale environmental challenges such as mosquito surveillance or plankton surveillance by citizen sailors mapping the ocean in the age of Anthropocene.
