Ph.D. Candidate - Electrical Engineering

Raman Vilkhu

Raman completed his B.S. with Honors ('18) at The Ohio State University in Electrical Engineering where he worked on bio-medical sensing technologies in the Wearable and Implantable Technologies Lab. He is currently a EE Ph.D. Candidate at Stanford and a recipient of the Stanford Graduate Fellowship. He is working on the Stanford Artificial Retina Project with a focus on designing, simulating, and testing novel multielectrode electrical stimulation patterns for brain-machine interfaces.
