Arda received his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering with multiple honors from The Johns Hopkins University with a designated focus in sensors, instrumentation and micro/nanotechnology. His undergraduate research focused on developing scaffolds and instrumentation to promote osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells. As a Vredenburg Scholar, Arda also worked with a group of researchers led by the chair of the Nobel Committee in Physiology or Medicine to uncover the role of diacylglycerol kinase delta in type 2 diabetes pathogenesis. Arda is currently pursuing...

Sedat Pala received the B.S (1st ranked, Fall 2015) and M.Sc. (Most Successful Student) in Mechanical Engineering from Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey in 2015 and 2017, respectively. He also completed a minor degree in Business Administration in METU, 2015. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in MEMS/Nano in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. Liwei Lin and expected to graduate in 2022.

Aifei is a visiting student in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in Professor Roya Maboudians lab at the University of California, Berkeley. She is devoted to the synthesis of functional micro/nano hierarchical structures and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based chemical detection.
