Mimi completed her PhD from the Thayer School of Engineering in September of 2025. She graduated UC Berkeley with a Bachelors of Science in Bioengineering and subsequently worked in orthopedic medical device design and space rocket development before returning to school. 

Mimi is interested in bioastronautics research and hopes to apply electrical impedance technology to improve medical diagnostics for space travel.

Research Interests: Human Spaceflight & Electrical Impedance based technologies for monitoring cell culture 

Kendall studied computer/electrical engineering during her undergrad (Dartmouth ’14, Thayer BE ’14), then spent 4 years in industry working as a software engineer before returning to Thayer for her PhD. She is most passionate about biomedical device design and applications in space – as a NASA graduate research fellow, her PhD is focused on building an EIT system for astronauts in deep space. Currently, Kendall works as an Assistant Professor of Engineering at Thayer School of Engineering, where she is developing two master's courses (Advanced FPGAs / Machine Vision) for Dartmouth's online Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering program. 

Yuan completed her PhD in Spring 2024 from the Thayer School of Engineering. However, she is resuming her work with the Halter Lab. Yuan completed her Bachelors of Engineering from Southern University of Science and Technology 

She likes dog sitting and eating noodles.

Current Projects: She currently works on developing a retractor for image-guided transoral robotic surgery. 

Harsha Devaraj joined the Halter lab in 2018 after receiving his Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Mechanical Engineering from PSG College of Technology in India. At Dartmouth, his engineering science graduate degree focused on engineering in medicine, electrical engineering, and surgical innovation. He served as a graduate research assistant from 2018 to 2023. Currently, he works at Analog Devices as a systems application engineer in their digital healthcare business unit.

Alicia joined the Halter lab in 2016 after completed a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Denver. She completed her PhD in Biomedical Engineering with the Halter Lab in 2021. Currently, Alicia is the CEO and Co-Founder AssurTek Surgical. 

Dennis is a Dartmouth College '14, Thayer BE '14, and Thayer PhD '19. He is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Gordon Center for Medical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Aditya graduated with his PhD from Thayer in 2016 with his thesis "Clinical feasibility of intraoperative prostate cancer margin assessment using electrical impedance".

Shadab Khan joined Thayer School of Engineering in Fall 2011 as a PhD student. Before coming to Dartmouth, he obtained a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Manipal University (India) in 2010. Shadab's research at Dartmouth was focused on development of a high-speed Electrical Impedance Tomography system to be used for Intraoperative Real-Time Surgical Margin Assessment During Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.  
Research Interests: Medical Instrumentation and Data Acquisition & Analysis Systems, including topics such as Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Pattern Analysis and Image Analysis.
