Selene Wang Sobek
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioSelene’s research focuses on understanding how stress and early-life experiences shape the neural circuits involved in opioid addiction and relapse. Her previous work examined how stress-related changes in brain reward circuits can increase vulnerability to opioid seeking following abstinence. This work inspired a broader interest in how dopamine and opioid signaling interact to influence addictive behaviors. Her current research investigates how ibogaine affects the neural systems associated with opioid addiction and explores whether understanding its mechanisms could contribute to developing more effective treatments for opioid use disorder.

Ethan Solomon
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Solomon is an Instructor in the Department and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a member of the Stanford Precision Neurotherapeutics Lab. He earned his MD and PhD in Bioengineering through the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and completed residency training in psychiatry at the Stanford School of Medicine. His research focuses on electrophysiological techniques (stereo-EEG/ECoG, scalp EEG) and brain stimulation technologies (direct electrical stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation) to understand cognitive and perceptual processes in psychiatric illness. Dr. Solomon is a recipient of an NIMH K99 grant to study the use of theta burst stimulation in hippocampal-cortical networks of patients with schizophrenia.
