Quentin Loisel
Postdoctoral Scholar, SCRDP/ Heart Disease Prevention
BioQuentin Loisel is a postdoctoral researcher at the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS), where his work focuses on how artificial intelligence is transforming scientific practice and how researchers can use AI to produce better, more robust, and more equitable science. His broader agenda is to help define a hybrid model of scientific inquiry that deliberately and transparently combines human judgment and artificial intelligence.
His research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, epistemology of science, and research systems. He studies how AI tools reshape knowledge production across the research lifecycle, from problem formulation and data analysis to writing, peer review, and governance, and examines the epistemic, methodological, and institutional consequences of human–AI collaboration in science. His work aims to move beyond risk-focused or purely technical perspectives by developing evidence-based, researcher-centric models for integrating AI into everyday scientific practice.
Before joining Stanford, he completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD on digital technologies for co-creation, combining cognitive science, collective intelligence, and participatory research. He has co-funded and is coordinating the Artificial Intelligence working group of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA), which is a researcher-driven community of practice on AI in research. He also advises a social company, called Health Cascade, on how to integrate AI in teams to solve complex societal problems. -

Charlotte Luff
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioCharlotte is a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Professor Luis de Lecea. Her research interests include the brain phenomena underpinning non-invasive neuromodulation such as focused ultrasound and electrical brain stimulation, and in the de Lecea lab she studies this with relation to sleep and addiction. Charlotte completed her PhD in the Interventional Systems Neuroscience lab of Dr Nir Grossman at Imperial College London. Her PhD research focused on uncovering the biophysical mechanism of temporal interference (TI) brain stimulation, primarily using electrophysiology and computational modelling. During her PhD, Charlotte spent a year as a visiting PhD student in Professor Ed Boyden’s lab at MIT, where she was trained in automated in-vivo patch clamp. Previously, Charlotte completed a BSc in Biomedical Science at King’s College London, and an MRes in Experimental Neuroscience at Imperial College London.

Nazanin Mahinparvar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioNazanin Mahinparvar, MD, graduated from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Following medical school and before joining Stanford, she spent three years serving as a Physician Director at a rehabilitation and long-term care center for older adults, where she gained firsthand experience caring for patients with complex medical and functional needs and developed a deep appreciation for preserving mobility, independence, and quality of life.
She later joined the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine as a postdoctoral scholar. During her postdoctoral training, she has been deeply involved in innovative translational research focused on developing novel, non-opioid approaches for chronic pain, bridging fundamental pain mechanisms with the potential for meaningful clinical impact.
Her commitment to pain medicine extends beyond scientific curiosity. Having personally experienced chronic pain during adolescence, she developed an early understanding of how profoundly persistent pain can affect movement, independence, daily function, and quality of life. At Stanford, studying pain from a scientific perspective transformed that personal understanding into a broader professional mission: not simply to reduce pain, but to help individuals regain function, independence, and the ability to participate fully in their lives.
Her experiences—from caring for older adults with functional limitations to investigating the mechanisms and treatment of chronic pain at Stanford—ultimately led her to Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R), a field that closely aligns with her philosophy of patient care and her vision for her future clinical and academic career. She is particularly drawn to the integration of PM&R, interventional pain medicine, and spine medicine, where understanding pain, restoring function, and improving quality of life come together.
Beyond research and clinical medicine, Dr. Mahinparvar is passionate about medical education and mentorship and serves as a Faculty Educator with the Stanford Anesthesia Summer Institute (SASI). She values creating opportunities for younger learners to develop technical skills, scientific curiosity, and confidence in medicine.
Outside of her academic work, she enjoys ice skating, dancing, weightlifting, playing the piano, and hands-on LEGO building—activities that reflect her appreciation for movement, creativity, precision, and lifelong learning.
