Manu Prakash is Associate Professor of Bioengineering, Biology (courtesy), and Oceans (courtesy) at Stanford University and co-founder of Foldscope Instruments, Planktoscope, and Cephla. Manu graduated with an undergraduate degree in theoretical computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, before moving to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he completed a PhD in … Continued
I am a theoretical physicist, turned neuroscientist. I study animal movement using tools from dynamical systems theory. My work integrates animal behavioural experiments with non-linear time series analysis techniques to extract novel insights from real biological data. I am particularly interested in understanding how the need to move in different environments has shaped the evolution … Continued
I currently work as a Genomic Technician in International Marine Sciences at Tohoku University, where I oversee DNA extraction and sequencing workflows for marine biological samples.

Her research focuses on distributed sensing and ocean robotics. Along with her love of learning, she enjoys sailing, surfing, and running.
I study the evolution of midwater animals with a focus on functional morphology and biodiversity of invertebrates. I want to know who is out there in the largest living space on earth and what they are doing, how they perceive their environment, and how they interact with other members of the midwater community. I primarily … Continued
I am a marine biologist specializing in Biological Oceanography, with a strong focus on Antarctic pinnipeds, trophic ecology, and marine litter pollution. I obtained my B.Sc. in Biology from the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (ARG) and completed my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biological Oceanography at the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG), Brazil. … Continued
I am a vision scientist trying to understand how animals see their world. This involves working out how eyes work and how they enable animal behaviour. My work involves comparing vision in a wide range of animals, such as ants and crabs, crocodiles, lizards, fish, sharks, dunnarts, and deep-sea amphipods. Born and raised in Switzerland, … Continued
