Mateus Aragao Esmeraldo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioMateus A. Esmeraldo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, currently working under the mentorship of Dr. Bruno P. Soares. His current research focuses on pediatric neuroradiology and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance diagnostic and healthcare delivery in neuropediatric populations, with a particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging.
Originally from Brazil, Mateus earned his medical degree Magna cum Laude from the University of Ceará - Sobral. He completed his residency in Radiology at the University of São Paulo, where he was awarded the Guerbet-InRad Best Resident Award and received the CBR/ESOR Europe Scholarship for complementary training in Neuroradiology at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, University of Cambridge, during his final year.
Following his residency, Mateus served as a Radiologist in the Ultrasound Section of the Institute of Radiology (InRad) at the University of São Paulo. In this role, he was engaged in clinical and research activities involving Doppler ultrasound and transcranial ultrasound in adult patients. His work was closely aligned with innovation-driven projects in neuroimaging and artificial intelligence, and he also participated in academic and teaching initiatives for medical students and residents. -
Ryan T. Ash MD, PhD
Affiliate, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioMy lab is interested in developing novel neuromodulation technologies to augment neuroplasticity and enhance the "unlearning" of maladaptive habitual ways of relating to the to the world. I have a K08 Career Development Award to measure how attention modulates neuroplasticity induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, using EEG steady-state visual evoked potentials and visual attention psychophysics. I have a Brain Behavior Research Foundation Young Investigator Award to develop in-human applications of transcranial ultrasound stimulation in the subcortical visual system and fear regulation circuit. I have a Simons Foundation Bridge to independence Award to develop closed-loop ultrasound neuromodulation technologies to enhance behavioral flexibility in autism spectrum disorders. I work closely with mentors Anthony Norcia, Kim Butts Pauly, and Nolan Williams on these projects. I am interested in the neural basis of mindfulness, concentration, and compassion practices from Buddhist meditation, and I have more than a year of silent retreat experience in the Theravada Buddhist meditation tradition. I see patients in the Stanford Neuropsychiatry clinic with a specialization in Functional Neurological disorders and related psychosomatic and dissociative conditions. My therapeutic orientations include integrated psychodynamic- and mindfulness-based approaches and neuromodulation-assisted psychotherapy.

Arman Avesta
Affiliate, Rad/Pediatric Radiology
BioI'm a neuroradiologist and data scientist building AI tools for fetal and pediatric neuroimaging. I'm joining Stanford School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor of Radiology and a neuroradiologist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
My training includes:
* Harvard Medical School - Boston Children's Hospital: Fellowship - Pediatric Neuroradiology
* Harvard Medical School - Massachusetts General Hospital: Fellowship - Neuroradiology
* Yale University: PhD - Data Science & AI
* Yale School of Medicine - Yale New Haven Hospital: Residency - Diagnostic Radiology
* Harvard Medical School - Massachusetts General Hospital: Postdoc - Neuroscience
* Tehran University Medical School: MD
I am particularly interested in building AI tools that make fetal and pediatric brain MRI faster and more reliable. I am currently working on a system that tracks the moving fetal head in real time to steer the scanner and re-acquire motion-degraded slices, extending my doctoral work on deep-learning segmentation for brain structures and tumors.
Outside of work, I enjoy ballroom dance, calisthenics, hiking, and tennis.
