Dr. Siddharth Krishnan is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Prior to this, he was a K99-funded Research Scientist in the groups of Prof. Daniel Anderson and Prof. Robert Langer at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT and at Boston Children's Hospital. He received BS and MS degrees from Washington University in St. Louis, and his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from Prof. John Rogers' group. His work has focused on the development of bioelectronic devices for sensing and therapeutics.

Dr. Sinha is particularly interested in developing and applying novel solutions to alleviate intestinal inflammatory conditions, and on developing more effective therapies and understanding the microenvironment changes in the inflamed versus normal gut in order to identify better therapeutic targets for people with GI immune-­mediated disorders.

Dr. Siegfried Glenzer, who is the recipient of the recent E. O. Lawrence award, is Professor and High-Energy-Density division director at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He joined SLAC as a distinguished scientist in 2013 to build a new discovery-class program in exploring matter in extreme conditions using high-power lasers and the world-class Linac Coherent Light Source x-ray beam.
