    Alice Huai-Yu Li, MD

    Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine

    BioDr. Alice Huai-Yu Li is an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Division of Pain Management at Stanford University School of Medicine.

    Dr. Li specializes in headache and facial pain conditions, offering advanced, personalized care for patients with complex and often debilitating pain syndromes. Her clinical expertise spans a wide range of disorders, including migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), and other forms of craniofacial pain.

    She collaborates closely with her colleagues in neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurology, dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care. With this interdisciplinary approach, she works with each patient to help them feel better and improve their daily life. This includes creating a tailored treatment plan with healthy lifestyle modifications, prescription medications, and targeted procedures.

    Dr. Li’s research focuses on finding better ways to treat migraines and facial pain and improving care before and after surgery for people who live with chronic pain. She uses imaging tools, such as ultrasound, to predict how well certain treatments will work. Her research also includes developing small devices that can be placed in the body to relieve pain without major surgery. In addition, she studies how artificial intelligence can help diagnose different types of headaches and facial pain.

    Dr. Li has authored more than a dozen peer-reviewed publications and has presented her work at national and international conferences for organizations including the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the North American Neuromodulation Society.

    Yijie (Jamie) Li

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine

    BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, working on longitudinal wearable data to study interventions for diabetes and childhood obesity. I use computational and machine learning methods to extract actionable insights from high-resolution health data to improve treatment outcomes. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Tulsa, focusing on machine learning for major depressive disorder using genomics, gene age, and neurofeedback. I also hold master’s degrees in Applied Economics and Finance from UC Santa Cruz and in Accountancy from the University of Tulsa, where I worked on financial modeling and stock market analysis.

    Steven Seth Lipman

    Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine

    BioThe thematic focus of my clinical work and research centers on Women's Health. In the clinical domain, I care for patients spanning the continuum of conception through birth and afterwards, such as patients requiring assisted reproductive technologies at the REI Clinic, parturients presenting to Labor & Delivery, and patients requiring gynecologic or breast surgical procedures. In the research domain, I have previously been interested in the ways in which team performance and facility factors can affect patient safety as they relate to Women's and Neonatal Health. As a result, my scholarly publications have been related to obstetric simulation and team performance and maternal cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. After 6 years in private practice in Southern California, I've returned to The Farm as Program Director of the Obstetric Anesthesia Fellowship. In this next phase of my career, I'm going to focus my energies on mentoring fellows on the labor unit.
