Jakob Thumm
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioJakob is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. His research aims to improve the safety, efficiency, and acceptance of autonomous robots by combining formal methods and machine learning. Jakob focuses on developing algorithms that enable robots to efficiently act in dynamic environments while guaranteeing safety at all times. He is particularly interested in allowing robots to safely work together with humans.
Prior to joining Stanford, Jakob earned his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Munich. His doctoral thesis is titled ``Establishing Safe and Preference-Aligned Human-Robot Collaboration in Autonomous Manipulation'' and passed with highest distinctions. Jakob received his M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Mechatronics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, researching the intersection of system modelling and machine learning.
Outside the lab, Jakob is a passionate runner and volunteer at Sutro Stewards, where he maintains hiking trails in the heart of San Francisco. -
Kumar Thurimella
Resident in Medicine
BioI am an Internal Medicine resident at Stanford in the Translational Investigator Program (TIP), with a planned fellowship in Rheumatology.
I worked as a software engineer at Uber before completing my PhD at the University of Cambridge as a Gates Scholar and my MD at the University of Colorado. My research sits at the intersection of computational biology and B cell immunology, using protein language models and structural AI to identify novel therapeutic targets in autoantibody-mediated diseases.
Outside the clinic and lab, I enjoy skiing, hiking, biking, and reading science fiction.
