Skylar Holmes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Holmes’ research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development and creating biomechanically-driven, evidence-based interventions to improve mobility. I aim to develop objective methods to characterize pain in KOA, identifying pain profiles linked to worsening symptoms and functional decline. Utilizing functional MRI, mechanical pain sensitivity tests, and imaging of muscles and the knee joint, Dr. Holmes’ work seeks to clarify disease progression and identify biomarkers to enhance clinical care and reduce the burden of KOA. Dr. Holmes earned her PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her MS and BS in Kinesiology from California State University Fullerton.

Felix Janos Horvath
Graduate, Medicine, Radiology
BioI'm an Austrian medical student at Heidelberg University and, since March 2026, a Visiting Student Researcher. I work in the Department of Radiology at Stanford, where Prof. Heike Daldrup-Link supervises my doctoral work.
We develop AI methods for pediatric whole-body PET/MRI. Segmentation models are trained almost entirely on adult scans, and children are not small adults, so anatomy that changes with age is where those models fail. We are also assembling a public pediatric PET/MRI dataset so other groups can test their methods. Pediatric medicine runs on a fraction of the evidence adult medicine has, because the cohorts are small and the studies are hard to run. That is the gap I want to work in, not least because the impact you can have here lasts a lifetime.
My background is a technical one. At school in Graz I spent my free time building robots with a team that made it to the RoboCup World Championship in Sydney, and my thesis was on CRISPR/Cas9 as a tool against malaria. Both halves were there early. I went into medicine rather than engineering because I wanted work that happens between people and not only in front of a screen. Since starting med school, I finished the first written part of the German licensing examination in the top 1% nationwide.
Outside the lab I spend most of my time playing sports. I started tennis when I was very young and later switched to volleyball. Recently I picked up triathlon and finished my first Ironman at the European Championships. -
David Hovsepian, MD
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular malformations in both children and adults; all aspects of gynecological intervention, especially uterine fibroid embolization; and in the developing sciences of quality, safety, and radiology informatics.
