Dr. Athul Prasad received his MBA from MIT where he was a Sloan Fellow, M.Sc. (Tech.) (with distinction) and D.Sc. (Tech) from Aalto University, B.Tech (with distinction) from University of Kerala, and is also a graduate of the year-long executive management (LEAD) program from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. He was with Nokia from 2014-2023 and is currently with Samsung based out of Mountain View, CA. He has coauthored over 40 peer reviewed scientific publications and has written a book on 5G "End-to-End Mobile Communications: Evolution to 5G," McGraw-Hill, Aug. 2020. He's also the co-inventor of over 90 patents.

Dr. Nima Ziraknejad is a Co-Founder and CEO at NZ Technologies Inc., a machine vision and robotics company. He is also the Regional Lead for Western Canada at Auto21, a Canadian national research and development network. Dr. Ziraknejad obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2014, where his research focused on machine vision and robotics. He also holds a MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia. Prior to his current roles, Dr. Ziraknejad worked as a Product Manager at Weir Motion Metrics, where he was responsible for managing the development and commercialization of new products.

Professor Joseph Andrews is jointly appointed in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering. He leads the Laboratory for Printed Electronics and Sensors (LPES). The focus of LPES is developing new printed electronic devices for interdisciplinary sensing applications. Novel electronic sensors are needed to usher in the coming age of more personalized medicine, data-driven diagnostics, and the “Internet of Things”. The inherit low-cost and flexibility associated with the fabrication technique motivates the use of printing for electronic sensors. The lab takes a holistic approach to the invention and design of electronic sensors with multiple layers of emphasis including ink development, print-process control design, and sensor validation. The impact of the work in LPES will manifest itself in many areas including biomedical research, harsh environment sensing, “smart” objects, and wearable devices.
