    Paul Mitiguy

    Lecturer, Mechanical Engineering

    BioFrom Milton MA and shaped by La Salettes with Shaker roots, Paul did his undergraduate work at Tufts University and his mechanical engineering graduate work (PhD) at Stanford under Thomas Kane.

    As a young adult, Paul worked summers landscaping, farming, logging, and construction, then worked at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, NASA Ames, Knowledge Revolution, and MSC.Software, was a consulting editor for McGraw-Hill (mechanics), and has been a consultant for the software, robotics, biotechnology, energy, automotive, and mechanical/aerospace industries.

    He helped develop force/motion software used by more than 12 million people worldwide and translated into 11 spoken languages. These software applications include Interactive Physics, Working Model 2D/3D, MSC.visualNastran 4D (now SimWise), NIH Simbody/OpenSim, and the symbolic manipulators Autolev/MotionGenesis.

    Paul currently works on Drake, open-source software developed by TRI (Toyota Research Institute) to simulate robots. In his role as Lead TRI/Stanford Liaison for SAIL (Toyota's Center for AI Research at Stanford), he facilitates research between TRI and Stanford.

    At Stanford, Paul greatly enjoys working with students and teaches mechanics (physics/engineering), controls/vibrations, and advanced dynamics & computation/simulation. He has written several books on dynamics, computation, and control (broadly adopted by universities and professionals).

    Paul is highly appreciative of support from Stanford alumni Dave Baszucki (Roblox CEO). Paul greatly appreciates having worked with Dave and team in developing internationally acclaimed physics, engineering, and educational software, including Interactive Physics, Working Model, and MSC.visualNastran.

    He is very grateful to students, co-instructors (TAs), faculty, and staff.

  • Anish Mitra

  • Subhasish Mitra

    Subhasish Mitra

    William E. Ayer Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Computer Science

    BioSubhasish Mitra holds the William E. Ayer Endowed Chair Professorship in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. He directs the Stanford Robust Systems Group, serves on the leadership team of the Microelectronics Commons AI Hardware Hub, leads the Computation Focus Area of the Stanford SystemX Alliance, and is the Associate Chair (Faculty Affairs) of Stanford Computer Science. His research ranges across Robust Computing, NanoSystems, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), and Neurosciences. Results from his research group have influenced almost every contemporary electronic system and have inspired significant government and research initiatives in multiple countries. He has held several international academic appointments — the Carnot Chair of Excellence in NanoSystems at CEA-LETI in France, and Invited Professor at ETH and EPFL in Switzerland and University of Tokyo in Japan. Prof. Mitra also has consulted for major technology companies including AMD (XIlinx), Anthropic, Cisco, Google, Intel, Samsung, and Sony. He recently cofounded TenX Semi, a startup on AI autopilot for chip design.

    In the field of Robust Computing, he has created many key approaches for circuit failure prediction, CASP on-line diagnostics, QED system validation, soft error resilience, and X-Compact test compression. Their adoption by industry is growing rapidly, in markets ranging from cloud computing to automotive systems, under various names such as Silicon Lifecycle Management, Predictive Health Monitoring, In-System Test, In-field Scan, In-fleet Scan. His X-Compact approach has proven essential to cost-effective manufacturing and high-quality testing of almost all contemporary digital systems. X-Compact and its derivatives enabled billions of dollars of cost savings across the industry.

    In the field of NanoSystems, with his students and collaborators, he demonstrated several firsts: the first NanoSystems hardware among all beyond-silicon nanotechnologies for energy-efficient computing (the carbon nanotube computer), the first 3D NanoSystem with computation immersed in data storage, the first published end-to-end computing systems using resistive memories (Resistive RAM-based non-volatile computing systems delivering 10-fold energy efficiency versus embedded flash), and the first monolithic 3D integration combining heterogeneous logic and memory technologies in silicon foundry. These received wide recognition: cover of NATURE, several Highlights to the US Congress, and highlight as "important scientific breakthrough" by news organizations worldwide.

    Prof. Mitra's honors include the Harry H. Goode Memorial Award (by IEEE Computer Society for outstanding contributions in the information processing field), Newton Technical Impact Award in EDA (test-of-time honor by ACM SIGDA and IEEE CEDA), the University Researcher Award (by Semiconductor Industry Association and Semiconductor Research Corporation to recognize lifetime research contributions), the EDAA Achievement Award (by European Design and Automation Association, for outstanding lifetime contributions to electronic design, automation and testing), the Intel Achievement Award (Intel’s highest honor), and the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He and his students have published over 15 award-winning papers across 5 topic areas (technology, circuits, EDA, test, verification) at major venues including the Design Automation Conference, International Electron Devices Meeting, International Solid-State Circuits Conference, International Test Conference, Symposia on VLSI Technology/VLSI Circuits, and Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design. Stanford undergraduates have honored him several times "for being important to them." He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a Foreign Member of Academia Europaea.

  • Vaishali Mittal

    Vaishali Mittal

    Member, Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI)

    BioVaishali Mittal, MD is a Postdoctoral Clinical Fellow in the Department of Dermatology at Stanford University under the guidance of Dr. Jean Y. Tang.

    Her current research is focused on epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of rare diseases that cause the skin and mucous membranes to blister easily. She is involved in conducting long-term clinical trials examining the application of an autologous, gene-corrected keratinocyte sheet for the treatment of recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB). In addition, she is currently leading several research projects, including investigation of genotype-phenotype associations in multiple subtypes of EB, creation of an online platform for EB patients/families and investigators to collaborate together on research, and development of an online genetic registry for EB patients using a novel, home-based genetic testing kit.

    Vaishali received her medical degree from Stanford University School of Medicine and completed her internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Brockton Hospital.
