Akira Nishii
Masters Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2024
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm interested in the challenges that arise in healthcare and biomedicine when applying machine learning to data-scarce and safety-critical settings. This broad interest motivates me to work on topics surrounding self-supervised learning and synthetic data.

Seiji Nishino
Professor (Research) of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe research focus of the Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology (SCN) Laboratory is the study of the sleep and circadian physiology using various animal models. A portion of the research is carried out using rodent models of narcolepsy and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. The laboratory also carries out pharmacological studies aiming to develop new treatments for these sleep disorders.

He is also active in the local Bay area German community. He has engaged with local German-schools and previously served as the AATG Testing Chair and President of the Northern California Chapter of the AATG.
Paul publishes and presents at academic conferences, both nationally and internationally. He is very enthusiastic about teaching and language learning. -
Frederick U Nitta
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioFrederick received his B.S. with EE and Chemistry from Stanford (2024), alongside a co-term in MSE (2024) at Stanford. He completed his EE honors thesis with Prof. Krishna Saraswat and Prof. Eric Pop on the efficiency limits of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) solar cells, receiving the Firestone Medal for Excellence in Undergraduate Research. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. in EE, on 3R-phase TMDs and their bulk photovoltaic effect, and on the physics and applications of transition metal oxides. He is co-advised by Prof. Eric Pop and Prof. Andrew Mannix.

Ryan Nitta
Senior Research Scientist, Neurosurgery
Current Role at StanfordThe main project of the Li lab is to elucidate the signaling pathways responsible for maintaining and initiating brain tumor growth. Previously the Li lab has identified an interesting protein, known as casein kinase 2, which plays an integral role in adult brain tumor growth. My goal is to expand on this initial finding and determine if casein kinase 2 could be a therapeutically relevant drug target in adult brain tumors and whether this protein plays a role in pediatric brain tumors. The role of the candidate would be the lead researcher on these projects, as well as managing and leading the undergraduate and medical students in the lab. In addition, I am responsible for maintaining the laboratory and assisting in grant writing.
