Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShashank Bansal is a bioengineering PhD student and graduate researcher at UC San Diego with a decade of experience bridging hardware, software, and neuroscience to build dynamic interfaces between living and artificial nervous systems. He previously applied systems software expertise at NVIDIA and contributed to reproducibility-focused research at Stanford’s Poldrack Lab, demonstrating a rare blend of industry-grade engineering and rigorous academic research. As a founding HW/SW co-design engineer at a stealth startup, he combined architectural vision with hands-on implementation—skills he now channels into neuroengineering projects. First-generation college graduate with a Computer Engineering background from UIUC, he brings practical experience across embedded systems, large-scale data handling, and experimental device fabrication. Outside the lab he’s an avid outdoorsman and photographer, a detail that often informs his experimental curiosity and visual approaches to data.
