Vivek P. Buch, MD
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
BioDr. Buch is a board certified neurosurgeon with fellowship training in pediatric and adult epilepsy, functional, and minimally invasive neurosurgery. He is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and Bioengineering, and the Christina and Hamid Moghadam Endowed Faculty Scholar at Stanford University.
Dr. Buch focuses his expertise on the open and minimally invasive treatment of epilepsy, low grade brain tumors, movement and neuropsychiatric disorders, facial and body pain syndromes, and other complex neurological conditions. He uses advanced and innovative techniques to treat both pediatric and adult patients. For each patient, he develops a personalized care plan that is designed to be both comprehensive and compassionate.
Dr. Buch has conducted extensive research. His academic career goal is to develop restorative bioengineering approaches for complex neurocognitive, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric disorders. He is creating network-neuroprosthetics and precision molecular therapies to restore abnormal brain circuit function in these vulnerable patient populations. He is further pioneering novel intraoperative technologies including personalized network-based targeting, holographic mixed reality, and artificial intelligence platforms for minimally invasive cranial surgery. He has presented this work at numerous professional conferences at the national and international level.
He has co-authored articles on his research discoveries in Science, Nature, Nature Medicine, Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, Neuron, Brain, Annals of Surgery, New England Journal of Medicine, ACS Nano, and many other journals. Articles focus on developing novel network control theory applications to human brain functions and new techniques and technologies to enhance neurosurgical effectiveness and patient outcomes.
He is the AI/Data Science Section Editor for NEUROSURGERY, and a guest editor for Surgical Innovation and Brain Sciences. He also has co-authored chapters in the books Neurosurgical Atlas, Operative Techniques in Epilepsy Surgery, Deep Brain Stimulation, and The Encyclopedia of Medical Robotics.
For his clinical, research, and academic achievements. Dr. Buch has earned many honors. He has won awards from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, American Roentgen Ray Society, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and National Institutes of Health, including twice earning the honor of national Young Neurosurgeon award from the Congress of Neurological Surgeons in his first 5 years of practice.
Dr. Buch is a national leader in epilepsy surgery, functional neurosurgery, and surgical AI. He is a member of the Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute, Human Performance Alliance, Stanford BioX, and Human Centered AI Institute. He is also a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, American Association of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, American Epeilepsy Soeciety, and Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.
He has designed and holds patents on artificial intelligence systems for surgical guidance, neural control signals for closed-loop stimulation therapy, novel arrays for bioelectrical sensing and stimulation, and surgical devices including percutaneous anchoring mechanisms and digital neurological assessment tools.

April Burrage
Provostial Fellow
BioApril Burrage, Ph.D. is a Provostial Fellow in the Management Science and Engineering department at Stanford University. Her research focuses on differences in entrepreneurial opportunities and the economics of innovation and science. She examines how institutions shape entrepreneurial possibilities and innovation for emerging tech entrepreneurs. Currently, her work explores the impact of innovation policies on tech entrepreneurship and the motivations of STEM professionals to commercialize their ideas. Supported by the National Science Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, Dr. Burrage's research has been featured in outlets such as Research Policy, Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, and Brookings Institution. Her research seeks to uncover the institutional factors that drive entrepreneurship and innovation, with the goal of informing policies and practices that promote a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. Dr. Burrage earned her Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, her M.A. in Economics from Roosevelt University, and her B.S. in Marketing from North Carolina A&T State University.
