Muhammad Abdulla
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
Student Assistant, Electrical EngineeringCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research is focused on how motor control is encoded at a neuronal level. On the theoretical side, I develop mathematical methods for analyzing neural data and modeling the relationships between neurons and motor function. On the applied side, I build computational frameworks for processing large datasets and interfacing with hardware. My goals are to gain insights on how networks of neurons work in harmony to generate movement and to improve the design of brain-machine interfaces.

Matthew Alexander Abikenari
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Molecular Basis of Medicine / Immunology, expected graduation Spring 2028
BioMatthew received his undergraduate degree Summa Cum Laude from UCLA, where he conducted full-time basic and clinical neuroscience research on molecular mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disease. He then pursued a graduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford as The Queen’s College Herbruck Scholar, an award granted to only one American student per year, completing a thesis on paraneoplastic autoimmunity and the genotypic and phenotypic architecture of meningiomas, alongside RNA sequencing and spatial–genomic analyses of malignant CNS tumors. As a medical student at Stanford University, he joined Dr. Michael Lim’s laboratory, gaining extensive experience in in vitro and in vivo immunology, stereotactic tumor implantations, and high-throughput transcriptomics to define mechanisms of immunosuppression in glioblastoma. His family’s experience with brain cancer continues to ground his work and deepen his commitment to understanding, and ultimately improving, neurosurgical oncology.

Siwaar Abouhala
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Biomedical Ethics & Medical Humanities / Surgery, expected graduation Winter 2030
BioSiwaar Abouhala [pronounced: Sea-waar Ah-bu-ha-la] (she/her) is an incoming first-year medical student, a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, and a Leadership in Health Disparities (LHDP) researcher at Stanford Medicine. Siwaar is a health equity researcher and leader, with interests in community-engaged methods, maternal and child health, minoritized health disparities, and implementation science.
She graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University in May 2023 with triple majors in community health (highest thesis honors), biology, and Arabic language and cultural studies. There, she founded MARCH: Maternal Advocacy and Research for Community Health, the largest undergraduate student-run maternal health organization in the United States, as well as the Arab Maternal Health in Ohio Study, the first qualitative maternal health assessment among Arab American mothers.
After graduation, Siwaar conducted extensive biomedical and public health research to further health equity, including at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard [Founder of Project MENA PEDIGREE: Middle Eastern or North African Progressing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Genetic Research, Education, and Empowerment], Tufts Medicine [Founder of Project INSPIRE: Improving New Somerville Parent and Infant Resiliency and Engagement], the Arab American Health Network Alliance (AAHNA), and the Rare Disease Diversity Coalition (RDDC).
Siwaar plans on training as a physician-advocate at Stanford, with research and health innovation serving as a necessary bridge between both roles.

Oluwakemisola Adeusi
Ph.D. Student in German Studies, admitted Autumn 2022
Ph.D. Minor, Political ScienceBioOluwakemisola "Kemi" (pronouns: she/her) received her B.A. in German from the University of Ibadan in 2011. She completed her M.A. in German at The University of Alabama in 2022 and is now a doctoral candidate in German studies at Stanford.
Her dissertation, “Representations of Inter- and Intra-Migrant Interactions in Contemporary German Literature,” examines how German-language texts represent complex relationships among migrant communities, moving beyond simplistic binaries of “host” and “immigrant” identity. -
