Vasiliki (Vicky) Bikia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Informatics
BioDr. Vasiliki Bikia is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University, jointly affiliated with the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and the Department of Biomedical Data Science, where she works under the mentorship of Prof. Roxana Daneshjou. She holds an Advanced Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Greece (2017), and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland (2021). Her doctoral work focused on addressing the clinical need for non-invasive cardiovascular monitoring by combining machine learning with physics-based numerical modeling.
Dr. Bikia's research centers on the development of large multimodal models to improve patient outcome prediction. She is also passionate about building patient-facing chatbots that help individuals better understand complex medical information, ultimately aiming to enhance communication and empower patients in their care journey. Moreover, she has contributed to the Stanford Spezi framework, designing and prototyping the Spezi Data Pipeline tool for enhanced digital health data accessibility and analysis workflows. -
Alison Callahan
Research Engineer, Med/BMIR
BioAlison Callahan is an Instructor in the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Clinical Data Scientist in the Stanford Health Care Data Science team led by Nigam Shah. Her current research uses informatics to expand and improve the data available about pregnancy and birth, and to develop and maintain and EHR-derived obstetric database. She is also the co-leader of the OHDSI Perinatal & Reproductive Health (PRHeG) working group. Her work in the SHC Data Science team focuses on developing and implementing methods to assess and identify high value applications of machine learning in healthcare settings.
Alison completed her PhD in the Department of Biology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Her doctoral research focused on developing HyQue, a framework for representing and evaluating scientific hypotheses, and applying this framework to discover genes related to aging. She was also a developer for Bio2RDF, an open-source project to build and provide the largest network of Linked Data for the life sciences. Her postdoctoral work at Stanford applied methodologies developed during her PhD to study spinal cord injury in model organisms and humans in a collaboration with scientists at the University of Miami.
