Artash Nath is a Stanford computer science undergraduate working on autonomous systems, ocean sensing, and scientific computing. He founded You-Oceans and Stanford DroneHacks, co-leads StanfordUAV, and serves as co-president of Stanford Student Robotics. His work connects research, engineering, and public engagement, with recognition including Rise and the Gloria Barron Prize.

Artash Nath is a computer science undergraduate at Stanford University whose work connects autonomous systems, ocean sensing, and scientific computing. He is the founder of You-Oceans, an initiative bringing together ocean acoustics, sensing hardware, and public engagement. His earlier MonitorMyOcean and MonitorMyLockdown projects used environmental recordings to investigate ocean noise and changes in urban activity.

At Stanford, he serves as co-president of Stanford Student Robotics and co-lead of StanfordUAV. He founded and directs Stanford DroneHacks, an aerial-autonomy hackathon scheduled for November 2026. His industry experience includes a drone-engineering internship at FlyX Technologies.

Nath is a Rise Global Winner, a Gloria Barron Prize recipient, and a 2025–2026 Eureka Fellow. He received a Second Award in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Regeneron ISEF 2022. With his sister Arushi Nath, he won the Most Inspirational global category award in NASA’s 2020 Space Apps COVID-19 Challenge. His interests include research, systems, and scientific tools.

Artash Nath works at the intersection of robotics, scientific computing, and public-good technology. A computer science undergraduate at Stanford University, he builds across software and hardware while helping create communities where others can do the same.

He founded You-Oceans, an ocean-conservation initiative connecting acoustic analysis, low-cost sensing, and public engagement. His earlier MonitorMyOcean project explored changes in underwater noise using open hydrophone data, while MonitorMyLockdown used seismic recordings to study changes in urban activity without tracking individuals. His research record includes a co-authored Springer conference chapter, youth-journal articles, and conference contributions. He also worked as a scientific volunteer with Natural Resources Canada on seismic, water, and ice conditions in the Saint Lawrence River shipping corridor.

At Stanford, Artash is co-president of Stanford Student Robotics and co-lead of StanfordUAV. He is the founder and director of Stanford DroneHacks, a student-run aerial-autonomy hackathon presented by the Stanford Robotics Center. His industry experience includes a 2026 drone-engineering internship at FlyX Technologies.
