Pere Canals
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI have deep interest in studying how to leverage state-of-the-art AI advancements in the field of computer vision to develop applications with a practical use in day-to-day workflows in stroke treatment and other neurovascular diseases. For example, I want to study how we can use foundation models in 3D imaging to unlock novel applications with a real impact on stroke care. My main expertise has resided in understanding how complex vascular anatomies impact endovascular treatment in stroke.

Carlos Castillo Passi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioCarlos Castillo-Passi began his academic journey at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile (PUC), where he earned both a degree and an MSc in Electrical Engineering in 2018. He then pursued a PhD in Biological and Medical Engineering through a joint program between PUC and King’s College London (KCL), completing it with maximum distinction in 2024. His research focused on the design of low-field cardiac MRI sequences using open-source MRI simulations. In 2023, his work on open-source MRI simulations was highlighted by the editor of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (MRM). Furthermore, his application of this work to low-field cardiac MRI earned him the Early Career Award in Basic Science from the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) in 2024. In addition to his research, Carlos is an active member of JuliaHealth, contributing to the development of high-performance, reproducible tools for health and medicine. In 2025, he joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher, where he continues his work in cardiac MRI and open-source technologies.

Ian Coates
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Trainer, Stanford Nano Shared Facilities Service CenterBioI am a chemical engineer advancing photopolymerization chemistry, fluid mechanics, and materials science to enable fabrication strategies once thought impossible. Pioneered injection Continuous Liquid Interface Production (iCLIP), using active resin chemistry and fluid–optical coupling to achieve order-of-magnitude gains in 3D printing speed and resolution, and translated chemical control of reactive interfaces into free-form microfluidic microneedle systems for intradermal delivery of small molecules, biologics, and mRNA. Current research applies water-soluble biocompatible sacrificial resins and projection-based fabrication workflows to design and print high-resolution, perfusable microvascular architectures for integration into 3D tissue patches.
