Rohan Tan Bhowmik
Undergraduate, Electrical Engineering
BioI am an undergraduate student at Stanford University studying Computer Science and Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on artificial intelligence. I am constantly seeking to learn and develop new machine-learning techniques and build applications based on them, especially in the areas of health, environment, and human-computer interaction. I’m especially interested in brain-inspired computing for energy-efficient systems.
As a software engineering intern at AMD AI Group since June 2024, I’ve gained expertise in machine learning compilers and optimized model performance across diverse hardware architectures. I unified AI/ML model implementations for high-performance computing on CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators. I also developed masked and causal attention modules on Torch-MLIR and IREE, enabling models like LLaMa and Stable Diffusion on the AMD stack.
My other recent projects include the development of 1) a wildfire prediction method by analyzing trends in environmental, meteorological, and geological data with an aim to mitigate the impact of California’s devastating wildfire seasons, 2) a respiratory disease exacerbation prediction system based on a novel spatio-temporal artificial intelligence algorithm and local environmental sensor network, 3) a machine learning technique for automating patient facial condition assessment and surgery planning, 4) blood alcohol level estimation using infrared imaging and deep neural networks, and 5) a novel image recognition framework utilizing a quantum optical convolutional neural network.
I have published papers based on my research in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Environmental Management, IEEE Access, Electronics, and Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine. I have won top national awards in the USA Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Junior Math, Computing, and Biology Olympiads and was named Regeneron STS Top 300 Finalist in 2023.
Outside of academics, I play clarinet, tennis, and volunteer with organizations to help sensory-deficient individuals, including the Baker Institute for Children with Hearing Loss, Starkey Hearing Foundation, and VocaliD. -

Y. Katherine Bianco
Clinical Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - Maternal Fetal Medicine
BioMy clinical interest in pregnancies complicated with birth defects has led my underlying research interests in genomic abnormalities in the human trophoblast carrying to faulty placentation. The latter began with initial work during K12 and KO8 funding. I took a great interest in the human placenta as it carries potential advantages over other tissues sources: first, this highly metabolically active organ is the potential source of many transcripts. Second, the placenta forms at a very early stage of embryonic development, potentially allowing detection of primary alterations as compared to secondary changes that may mask the underlying causal phenomena. Finally, studying early placentation may provide targets for development of novel molecular approaches, such as up-regulate or down-regulate genes, the protein products of which could potentially serve as molecular surrogates for diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complication such as miscarriages, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension and intrauterine growth retardation. This work has led to the first Trisomy 21, Trisomy 18, trisomy 13 cell lines established from human placentas making it possible to apply gene editing in the early stages of human trophoblast development.
As my primary clinical responsibility involves treating patients needing medical care and support through their high risk pregnancies, I am interested in factors that may impact outcomes, such as prenatal screening and diagnosis, maternal heart conditions, labor and delivery management, and safety approaches for the second stage of labor. In investigating length of labor and approaches to shorten the second stage, I have found methods of improving perinatal outcomes in diverse maternal populations.
With regards to my interest in fetal medicine, I have worked in collaboration with other specialists such as radiologists and pediatric cardiologists utilizing imagining studies to assess and determine successful perinatal care and fetal survival. -

Alex Bien
Accel System Operator I, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a 2022 graduate with a B.S. in physics from the University of Maryland at College Park, and I currently operate the world's longest and most powerful linear particle accelerator administrated by Stanford University under the direction of the US Department of Energy. Here I interface directly with the machinery, controls, and safety systems for three linear accelerator facilities: FACET-II where electron-pair beams are shot thru hot plasma to study novel wakefield acceleration techniques, LCLS where coherent x-rays of very high energy (and inversely low wavelength) probe deep into matter for imaging at atomic scales, and LCLS-II where commissioning is underway to produce a much more powerful megahertz rep rate superconducting beam that can leverage the same XFEL mechanism to (instead of just taking snapshots) also resolve the dynamics of chemical reactions in situ.

Lacramioara Bintu
Associate Professor of Bioengineering
BioLacra Bintu is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and a member of the Biophysics Program and Bio-X Institute at Stanford University. She earned undergraduate degrees in Physics, Mathematics, and Neuroscience from Brandeis University. As an undergraduate working with Jane Kondev and Rob Phillips, she used statistical mechanics to model transcription factor binding and gene regulation. She completed her Physics Ph.D. at U.C. Berkeley with Carlos Bustamante, where she used single-molecule approaches to study transcription on nucleosomal templates. As a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech with Michael Elowitz, she used live-cell microscopy to investigate chromatin-mediated gene regulation.
Her group seeks to discover fundamental principles of gene regulation and advance mammalian synthetic biology, with an emphasis on causal mechanisms, dynamic responses, and single-cell variability that enable signal integration at the population level. The lab develops tools to manipulate gene expression, for example by recruiting chromatin, transcriptional, or RNA regulators to defined genomic loci, or building DNA regulatory elements such as signal-responsive enhancers or silencers. To assess gene regulation responses at scale, the lab is using and developing new sequencing and imaging based techniques such as: delivery of large DNA libraries to cells coupled with sorting based on fluorescent and magnetic reporters, time-lapse fluorescence microscopy and in situ sequencing, or single-molecule footprinting of transcription factors and nucleosomes binding in live cells. Her group uses mathematical modeling to capture the fundamental principles underlying the observed gene expression responses and to predict new behaviors. This work provides insight into epigenetic mechanisms underlying development, cancer, and immune function and informs strategies for gene therapies that correct aberrant expression states.
Lacra lives in Menlo Park with her husband Anton and son Manu. They enjoy hiking, cooking, reading, playing board games, and watching birds in their backyard with their two cats. -
Biondo Biondi
Barney and Estelle Morris Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
My students and I devise new algorithms to improve the imaging of reflection seismic data. Images obtained from seismic data are the main source of information on the structural and stratigraphic complexities in Earth's subsurface. These images are constructed by processing seismic wavefields recorded at the surface of Earth and generated by either active-source experiments (reflection data), or by far-away earthquakes (teleseismic data). The high-resolution and fidelity of 3-D reflection-seismic images enables oil companies to drill with high accuracy for hydrocarbon reservoirs that are buried under two kilometers of water and up to 15 kilometers of sediments and hard rock. To achieve this technological feat, the recorded data must be processed employing advanced mathematical algorithms that harness the power of huge computational resources. To demonstrate the advantages of our new methods, we process 3D field data on our parallel cluster running several hundreds of processors.
Teaching
I teach a course on seismic imaging for graduate students in geophysics and in the other departments of the School of Earth Sciences. I run a research graduate seminar every quarter of the year. This year I will be teaching a one-day short course in 30 cities around the world as the SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course, the most important educational outreach program of these two societies.
