Max Ladabaum

Graduate Student Researcher
Biophysics
Professor Jun-Chau Chien (Advisor)
Ph.D. 2029 (Anticipated)

Max Ladabaum received his B.S. in Physics from UC Santa Barbara in 2022. After graduation, he worked as a device physicist at Illumina, helping develop new methods to sequence DNA. Max began his PhD in Biophysics at UC Berkeley in 2024 and is coadvised by Prof. Jun-Chau Chien and Prof. Grigory Tikhomirov. Max is interested in pairing DNA nanotechnology with CMOS-based sensors in order to improve signal, specificity, and scale of biosensors.

Daniel Lovell

Graduate Student Researcher
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Professor Kristofer S.J. Pister (Advisor)
Ph.D. 2028 (Anticipated)

Daniel Lovell attended the University of North Georgia and the U.S. Naval Academy before a hiatus to pursue research in industry. During this time, he worked on software and systems for optoelectronics, and developed new applications for optical MEMS in programmable light systems, MEMS mirror-based lidar, robot vision, and human-robot-interaction.

Daniel received his B.A. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2022. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in EECS there, with a focus on integrated circuit design.
