Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to develop and clinically implement new technologies for high-precision and noninvasive intervention upon the nervous system. Every few millimeters of the brain is functionally distinct, and different parts of the brain may have counteracting responses to therapy. To better match our therapies to neuroscience, we develop techniques that allow intervention upon only the right part of the nervous system at the right time, using technologies like focused ultrasound and nanotechnology.

Arman Avesta, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Pediatric Radiology)
BioI'm a neuroradiologist and data scientist at Stanford. I build computational systems for fetal and pediatric neuroimaging, and I read clinically at Stanford Children's Hospital.
My research makes brain MRI faster, sharper, and more reliable. One line of work is motion-robust acquisition, especially for fetal brain imaging. The other improves the accuracy of radiation therapy for brain tumors, extending my doctoral work on segmenting tumors and the brain structures around them.
Outside the hospital, I'm a ballroom dancer, previously competed for Harvard, Yale, and MIT ballroom dance teams. I also enjoy calisthenics, hiking, and tennis.
