Trang-Anh Nghiem
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in how brain dynamics and cognitive functions in health and disease emerge from interactions within biological neural networks. To this purpose, I combine theoretical and computational models of brain dynamics and function inspired by statistical physics and information theory with analysis of neural recordings at different scales using machine learning methods.

Tsuyoshi Nishiguchi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioTsuyoshi Nishiguchi is a postdoctoral scholar at Gen Shinozaki Laboratory, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences of Stanford University. His work mainly focuses on the pathology and treatment of delirium with animal experiments using the bispectral EEG (BSEEG) method. As background, in Japan, he worked as a psychiatrist for eight years at the Department of Psychiatry of Tottori University Hospital and a city hospital. He has obtained a Ph.D. in medical sciences in depression study with animal experiments. In the USA, he was a visiting scholar at this Laboratory for 2 years. After that, he has been working in this laboratory up to the present.

Sara Pardej
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioSara Pardej earned her BA in Psychology and BS in Cognitive Science at Marquette University. Afterwards, she attended the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee under the mentorship of Dr. Bonita P. Klein-Tasman, where she earned both her MS and PhD in Clinical Psychology. There, she worked on several studies focusing on youth with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), including behavioral phenotyping work, psychometric studies, and a social skills intervention study. Her dissertation study, which was funded by a Young Investigator Award from the Children's Tumor Foundation, focused on examining event related potentials using EEG by comparing children with NF1 to children with idiopathic ADHD and unaffected children. She completed her Doctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology at Penn State Health in Hershey, Pennsylvania. While at Penn State, she also worked on research examining safety and psychopathology in youth with ADHD and/or autism. Her clinical interest is neuropsychology, and her research interests include issues of psychometrics, behavioral phenotyping, and the neuropsychological development (and subsequent areas of intervention) of individuals with NF1 across the lifespan.

Julia Rachel Plank
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher in the BRain Imaging, Development, and GEnetics (BRIDGE) Laboratory in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Currently my work focuses on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for improving understanding of the neuropathophysiology underlying neuropsychiatric disorders with a genetic basis.
My PhD investigated the use of neuroimaging techniques (diffusion MRI, quantitative magnetization transfer, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, electroencephalography) for detection of neuroinflammation in human participants.
My research interests are centered on the clinical applications of MRI for elucidation of pathology and improving diagnosis and treatment. -
Shaun Quah
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioThe current literature of neuroscience is lacking a unifying model of brain function. My goal is to use novel computational methods to improve our understanding of how different cognitive and emotional functions are hierarchically organized in the brain.
