Shyon Parsa
Affiliate, Department Funds
Resident in MedicineBioShyon earned his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas - Austin, graduating with Honors. He completed coursework in Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena in Living Systems at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University under Clare Hall fellow Dr. Kenneth Diller. After graduation, Shyon enrolled in medical school at UT Southwestern, and graduated with an M.D with Distinction in Research and as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society.
He started his internal medicine residency at Stanford University Hospital in 2023. In 2024, he was awarded a Stanford Cardiovascular Institute Seed Grant for his project "An Artificial Intelligence Approach Utilizing Radiomic-Derived Calcium Features on Calcium Scoring CT (CAC-CT) in Cardiovascular Risk Stratification" (Co-PI). In 2025, he was selected for a Young Investigator Award from the National Lipid Association and named as an American Heart Association Early Career Investigator Award for Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine Research finalist. He is currently leading the NOTIFY-ASCVD trial alongside Co-PIs Fatima Rodriguez and Fahim Abbasi.
His interests include the use of AI in opportunistic coronary artery disease assessment, clinical integration of AI-based diagnostic algorithms through clinical trials, and preventive health advocacy through public policy. He plans to pursue a career in cardiology with a focus on advanced computational imaging techniques, medical device development, and advocacy both in his local communities and abroad. -

Arogyaswami Paulraj
Professor (Research) of Electrical Engineering, Emeritus
BioProf. Arogyaswami Paulraj is an Emeritus Professor at Stanford University. Paulraj's legacy is deeply intertwined with the evolution of wireless communication. His groundbreaking work on MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology laid the foundation for today's ubiquitous 4G/5G networks and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Paulraj's journey began in the Indian Navy, where he served from 1965 to 1991. During this time, he led the development of the APSOH anti-submarine sonar system and established three key R&D labs for the Indian government. His contributions earned him the prestigious Padma Bhushan award, India's third highest civilian honor.
Following his naval career, Paulraj joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher. His research focus shifted to wireless communication, where he made groundbreaking contributions to MIMO technology. MIMO enables data transmission using multiple antennas, significantly increasing network capacity and data rates.
Paulraj's innovation has been recognized with numerous accolades, including the 2024 Royal Acad. Eng. Prince Philip Medal, the 2023 IET Faraday Medal, the 2014 Marconi Prize, and the 2011 IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal. He is also a fellow of nine national academies in engineering, sciences, and the arts, and an inductee of the US Patent Office’s National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Currently, Paulraj continues to contribute to technological advancement. He chairs several committees for the Government of India, focusing on the Indian Semiconductor Mission and Core ICT initiatives. His dedication to research and development continues to shape the future of wireless communication. -
John M. Pauly
Reid Weaver Dennis Professor
BioInterests include medical imaging generally, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in particular. Current efforts are focused on medical applications of MRI where real-time interactive imaging is important. Two examples are cardiac imaging, and the interactive guidance of interventional procedures. Specific interests include rapid methods for the excitation and acquisition of the MR signal, and the reconstruction of images from the data acquired using these approaches.
