Jens Hainmueller
Kimberly Glenn Professor and Professor of Political Science
BioJens Hainmueller is the Kimberly Glenn Professor of Political Science. He co-directs the Stanford Immigration Policy Lab and is a Faculty Affiliate at the Stanford Center for Causal Science, the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, and the Europe Center. He is also a member of the Maternal & Child Health Research Institute at Stanford’s School of Medicine.
Hainmueller’s research spans statistical methods, causal inference, immigration, and political economy, and he has published nearly 70 articles with over 40,000 citations. Many of his works appear in top journals, including Science, Nature, and PNAS, as well as leading field journals in political science, statistics, economics, and business.
He has developed widely adopted statistical methods—such as synthetic control methods, entropy balancing, Average Marginal Component Effects, and GeoMatch algorithms—and created several open-source software packages that support empirical research across disciplines. At Stanford, he teaches courses on causal inference and data science.
Hainmueller’s contributions have earned him prestigious awards, including the Gosnell Prize for Excellence in Political Methodology, the Warren Miller Prize, the Robert H. Durr Award, and the Emerging Scholar Award from the Society of Political Methodology. He is an Andrew Carnegie Fellow, an elected Fellow of the Society of Political Methodology, and holds an honorary degree from the European University Institute (EUI).
He earned his PhD from Harvard University, with additional studies at the London School of Economics, Brown University, and the University of Tuebingen. Before joining Stanford, he was a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Thomas Hainmueller, MD, PhD
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Thomas Hainmueller is a board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional psychiatrist with Stanford Health Care. He is an instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
He diagnoses and treats a range of behavioral health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and disorders at the intersection of neurology and psychiatry.
Dr. Hainmueller is an expert in various neuromodulation treatments, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and vagal nerve stimulation (VNS). He also specializes in rapid-acting medication approaches, such as ketamine, as well as traditional psychiatric medications. He partners with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that focus on their unique needs and preferences.
Dr. Hainmueller’s approach is informed by his background in circuit neuroscience research. This branch of neuroscience studies how the brain uses networks of neurons and circuits to process information. Building on a background in neuronal circuits supporting emotions and memory, he investigates the effects of DBS and other neuromodulation treatments on mood and anxiety disorders. His active research projects span preclinical mechanistic studies of neuronal circuit function to innovative clinical protocols for DBS.
His research findings have been published in Nature, Science, Neuron, and other peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Hainmueller has presented to his peers at international and national meetings, including the annual meetings of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology and Society for Neuroscience.
He serves as an invited ad hoc reviewer for several editorial boards, including Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Journal of Psychiatry, Nature Communications, and the Journal of Neuroscience.
Dr. Hainmueller is a member of the American Psychiatric Association and the Society for Neuroscience. -

Scott S. Hall, Ph.D
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy primary area of scholarly and clinical interest is the pathogenesis of problem behaviors shown by individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), particularly those with neurogenetic forms of IDD, such as fragile X syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. My work aims to both advance understanding of these disorders and to identify effective new treatment approaches for pediatric and adult patient populations by state-of-the-art methodologies, such as brain imaging, eye tracking and functional analysis to determine how environmental and biological factors affect the development of aberrant behaviors in these syndromes. The end goal of my research is to create patient-specific methods for treating the symptoms of these disorders.

Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPrincipal Investigator
Infrastructure to facilitate discovery of autism genes
The purpose of this project is to facilitate the discovery of the genes that contribute autism by maintaining an infrastructure which research groups studying the genetics of autism can work collaboratively. This will be
accomplished through workshops, a Virtual Private Network, and access to a database that includes phenotype and genotype data from all participating groups.
Principal Investigator
A California Population-Based Twin Study of Autism
This will address several fundamental questions: (1) What is the heritability of autism (2) What is the contribution of genetic factors to variation in symptom dimensions? (3) Is there a continuum between the quantitative neurocognitive traits and clinical disorder? (4) What proportion of the variance in the neurocognitive traits is accounted for by genetic and non-genetic factors?
Co-Investigator
Center for Integrating Ethics in Genetics Research(Cho)
The goal of this project is to serve as a center of excellence in neurogenetics research, to develop a national model for bench, to bedside research ethics consultation, and to provide training opportunity in biomedical ethics.
Co-Investigator
Gene, Brain and Behavior in Turner Syndrome(Reiss)
The primary objective of this project is to use advanced, multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, analyses of X chromosome parent-of-origin and cognitive-behavioral assessment to elucidate the effects of monosomy and X-linked imprinting on neurodevelopment and neural function in a large cohort of young girls with Turner syndrome, pre-estrogen replacement.
Project Director
Project F: Genomic Analysis in narcolepsy cataplexy
The goal of the project is to locate genes outside the HLA region that influence susceptibility to narcolepsy. In order to localize these genes we will carry out a linkage and association study in the most extensive world-wide collection of DNAs from well-characterized patients with narcolepsy and their families.
