Deshan Perera
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioI am a Stanford Data Science Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Biology at Stanford University, supervised by Prof. Hunter Fraser. My research focuses on evolutionary dynamics and the development of high-performance computational tools to analyze complex biological systems. I earned my Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from the University of Calgary, Canada, where I investigated within-host evolution in pathogen genomics and cancer. Originally from Sri Lanka, I hold a First Class B.Sc. (Hons) in Biology from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. I am passionate about advancing computational biology through the design and implementation of scalable software solutions that leverage GPU, CPU, and SSD architectures for large-scale genomic and evolutionary analysis.

Anders Rydstrom
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioAnders Rydstrom is a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Natural Capital Project and is investigating the links between exposure to nature areas and health. His research primarily focuses on conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with uses of multimodal data sources such as accelerometers, ecological momentary assessments, behavioral outcomes and biometric health data. Anders received his Ph.D. in psychology and neuroscience from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, where he analyzed heterogeneity of treatment effects in lifestyle oriented RCT’s for prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease and cognitive impairment. He has also conducted research within cognitive training and emotion regulation. He holds an M.Sc. in psychology from Lund University, Lund, Sweden and has also clinical experience from working as a licensed healthcare psychologist in Scandinavia.
