Krishna V. Shenoy, PhD, was the Hong Seh and Vivian W. M. Lim Professor of Engineering.

He was with the Departments of Electrical Engineering (EE) and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering (BioE), Neurobiology and Neurosurgery in the Schools of Engineering (SOE) and Medicine (SOM) at Stanford University. He was also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator. Prof. Shenoy held a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Irvine (1987-1990), a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT (1990-1995), was a postdoctoral fellow in Neurobiology at Caltech (1995-2001), and was on faculty at Stanford from 2001 (Assistant Prof. 2001-2008, Associate Prof. 2008-2012, Full Prof. 2012-2017, HHMI Investigator 2015 to present (and at least 2028), Endowed Chair 2017 to present).

Prof. Shenoy directed the Stanford Neural Prosthetic Systems Lab (basic neuroscience and engineering) and co-directed the Stanford Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory (clinical trials), which aim to help restore lost motor function to people with paralysis.
