Surjendu Bhattacharyya
Research Assoc-Experimental, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am currently a Research Associate at SLAC’s LCLS SRD Chemical Science Department. My research focuses on time-resolved dynamics in the gas phase, with a particular interest employing novel experimental techniques to investigate the dynamics of molecules, radicals, and ions. These techniques include Coulomb explosion imaging, MeV electron diffraction (MeV-UED), X-ray scattering, X-ray absorption, and photoelectron spectroscopy. This work aims to improve the fundamental understanding of energy, environmental, biological, and atmospheric processes.
I am currently adapting a pyrolysis source to a time-of-flight spectrometer to perform time-resolved studies of radicals using UV, high harmonic generation (HHG), and X-rays. Additionally, I plan to integrate the pyrolysis setup with MeV-UED to investigate structural molecular dynamics through diffraction measurements. -

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.
