Narayan Schutz
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on using digital health technologies to detect and monitor aging relevant health indicators and outcomes using cutting-edge machine and deep learning approaches, with the goal to make our healthcare system more personalised and proactive.
Current research topics include remote gait and mobility assessments, learning health representations from large-scale smartphone data, and using novel ambient intelligence approaches to foster independent living in older adults. -

Tong Shan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioTong completed her Ph.D. at the University of Rochester. She also holds an M.S. in Biostatistics from Northwestern University and a B.S. in Medical Imaging from Sichuan University.
In her research, Tong has explored topics such as subcortical and cortical neural responses to naturalistic speech and music, neural mechanisms underlying musical perception, and the impact of visual cues on speech-in-noise comprehension.
Currently, Tong is involved in the Speaker-Listener projects, where she investigates brain activities related to natural communication. She is excited to deepen her understanding of auditory processing of speech during communication and its implications for improving quality of life, particularly in clinical populations such as individuals with ASD, AD, etc.
Outside of her research, Tong is a music producer, creating original songs and soundtracks for video games. She has a passion for exploring the intersection of art and technology. -
Chun Yin Siu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioChunyin Siu (Alex) is a postdoctoral scholar in the Brain Dynamics Lab, led by Prof. Mannish Saggar, at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He specializes in topological data analysis and its application in analyzing neuroimaging data.
He got his PhD degree in Applied Mathematics at Cornell University under the supervision of Prof. Gennady Samorodnitsky. Before that, he got this MPhil. degree in Mathematics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Ronald (Lokming) Lui. -
Emily Spackman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioI am an early career researcher with a PhD from the University of Melbourne, Australia. I am currently working in a postdoctoral position at Stanford, where I am involved in several research projects focusing on measurement development, phenotypic characterisation, and advancing insights into the heterogeneity of autism. My primary research interest is to better understand heterogeneity in autism presentation as a stepping stone towards developing more individualised assessment and support.

Wiebke Struckmann
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Struckmann earned her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Psychology from the University of Jena in Germany, followed by a Ph.D. in Clinical Neuroscience from Uppsala University in Sweden. Throughout her doctoral studies, Dr. Struckmann used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in a neuroimaging-guided clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex to alleviate anhedonia in individuals with depression and schizophrenia.
Dr. Struckmann joined the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab as a Postdoctoral Scholar in September 2022. Presently, she leads a clinical trial examining personalized therapeutic neuromodulation for anhedonic depression. Driven by her passion for innovative research methodologies, Dr. Struckmann incorporates personalized task designs and physiological assessments to untangle the intricate relationships between cognition, emotion, and psychiatric symptoms, extending her investigations to include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. Dr. Struckmann’s primary objective is to advance both our comprehension and treatment of mental health conditions through probing target networks in the brain.
