Lab Members

Eleonora obtained her Ph.D. in Robotics, Cognition and Interaction Technology from the Italian Institute of Technology. She moved to Houston “just for a few years” to further develop her interest in human electrophysiology and brain stimulation and ended up finding her home at Baylor College of Medicine and starting a lab in the Department of Neurosurgery. She is also Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University. 

Neuroscience apart, she loves climbing (although Texas makes that difficult), visiting National Parks (she would like to see them all) and photography (mainly of her cats, but she is open to other critters too).

Maria is a 25-year-old Research Technician with a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. Although she comes from Spain, her professional journey has taken her far beyond its borders. Her primary focus revolves around signal processing and peak detection in electrophysiological responses to brain stimulation. When she is not immersed in lab work, you'll likely spot her either gliding through the waters while swimming or exploring remote destinations during her travels.

Ryan Jafri is a rising sophomore at the University of Houston pursing a degree in public health. He is intrigued by neuroscience and uses his car rides to listen to the Huberman Lab podcasts. In his free time Ryan likes to play basketball, play chess, and cook.

Hi, I'm Geoffrey, a sophomore at Dawson High School in Pearland. I have a passion for coding and solving diverse problems with efficient algorithms. I'm particularly intrigued by the integration of brain function into AI.

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, reading comics, and playing video games.

Layth completed his undergraduate degree in Biology and Arabic at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Outside of work, he enjoys staying active by any means, cooking, learning more about the world around him, and trying to teach himself chess and the piano.

Sanath is an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and doing summer research activity in the lab. He is passionate about robotics and technology and is excited to bring his drive and work ethic. In my spare time, I like watching Netflix, listening to music, and playing sports.
