Arman Avesta, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Pediatric Radiology)
BioI'm a neuroradiologist and data scientist at Stanford. I care for patients at Stanford Children's Hospital and build computational systems for fetal and pediatric neuroimaging.
I'm passionate about how the fetal brain develops and how diseases such as genetic and metabolic disorders can disrupt that process. I'm also passionate about improving radiation therapy for brain tumors, building on my PhD work on segmenting brain tumors and surrounding brain structures.
Outside the hospital, I'm a ballroom dancer and have competed for the Harvard, Yale, and MIT ballroom dance teams. I also enjoy calisthenics, hiking, and tennis.
