Aadesh Salecha
Masters Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2024
BioAadesh Salecha is a computer scientist who works on integrating Artificial Intelligence and Psychology. He graduated from the University of Minnesota, where he worked with Prof. Jaideep Srivastava on misinformation spread and its mitigation mechanisms. At Stanford, he works with Prof. Johannes Eichsteadt on using cognitive psychology and psychometrics to understand bias development in Large Language Models. He is also collaborating the effort on the creation of new-age psychological interventions using AI to democratize access and improve personalization and retention. His work is focused on using computational methods for societal good by facilitating the measurement and causal analysis of population health metrics like drug abuse, subjective-wellbeing, etc.

Nigam H. Shah, MBBS, PhD
Professor of Medicine (Computational Medicine), of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe answer clinical questions using aggregate patient data at the bedside. The Informatics Consult Service (https://greenbutton.stanford.edu/) put this idea in action and led to the creation of Atropos Health. We build predictive models that allow taking mitigating actions, keeping the human in the loop.

Yash Shah
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests lie in developing neuroconnectionist mechanistic models of the brain that deepen our understanding of neural computation and representations. I aim to explore how physiological and anatomical constraints shape cortical topography and, in turn, scaffold development. I am particularly intrigued by observing certain behaviors emerge from mechanistic models, even when the model was not optimized to do so.
