Stephanie A. Leonard
Assistant Professor (Research) of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Maternal Fetal Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine
BioStephanie Leonard, PhD, MS, is an Assistant Professor in the Dunlevie Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center for Discovery, Innovation, and Clinical Impact (https://dunleviemfm.stanford.edu/) and holds a courtesy appointment in Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine.
The goal of Dr. Leonard’s research is to advance equitable, positive health experiences and outcomes for pregnant individuals and newborns. She is interested in applying transdisciplinary methods to perinatal health research, with a focus on studying pregnancy-related morbidities in large data sources. Currently, her primary research interests are in building an infrastructure for distributed data network studies of perinatal health and improving treatment of chronic hypertension in pregnancy. To this end, she co-launched the OHDSI Pregnancy and Reproductive Health Work Group (https://www.ohdsi.org/workgroups/) and collaborates closely with the Harvard Program on Perinatal and Pediatric Pharmacoepidemiology (http://www.harvardpreg.org/). She also serves as a collaborator and mentor on a variety of obstetrics studies, including clinical trials, prospective and retrospective observational studies, and qualitative studies. Dr. Leonard's research program is currently funded by NHLBI (K01) and NICHD (U54).
Dr. Leonard trained in epidemiology at UCLA (MS) and UC Berkeley (PhD), where her research focused on nutrition in pregnancy and was completed in partnership with the WIC program and the Nutrition Policy Institute. She completed a postdoc in Neonatal and Developmental Medicine at Stanford as part of the Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences. -

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.
