Philipp Wesp
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher investigating interpretable machine learning (ML) and large language model (LLM) applications in clinical radiology. My current research focuses on two complementary areas: understanding what human-interpretable concepts self-supervised vision foundation models learn through mechanistic interpretability techniques like sparse autoencoders, and developing LLM-based systems, including agentic workflows and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) architectures, that leverage unstructured hospital data to improve radiological workflows. I earned my PhD from LMU Munich, where I focused on clinically motivated machine learning applications in medical imaging in the Department of Radiology.
My work is partially funded by a Walter Benjamin Fellowship from the DFG (German Research Foundation). -

M. Brandon Westover, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adulty Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Biomedical Data Science and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. M. Brandon Westover is a board-certified, fellowship-trained epilepsy specialist, clinical neurophysiologist, and neurologist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine and director of the Stanford Epilepsy Center.
Dr. Westover specializes in caring for adults with epilepsy and other neurological conditions. He focuses on developing automated tools that improve the quality and reach of his patients' care. He also treats patients with life-threatening unrelenting seizures (status epilepticus), reduced blood flow to the brain (cerebral ischemia), and reduced oxygen to the brain (anoxic brain injury). In addition, he helps patients experiencing delirium, seizures, and sleep disorders.
Dr. Westover's research develops artificial intelligence technology to protect and improve brain health. His interests include predicting seizures and detecting and forecasting disorders of memory, cognition, and consciousness—such as delirium and coma—in older adults. His work has also used deep learning to estimate the risk of developing epilepsy after a brain injury from brain-wave recordings (electroencephalograms, or EEGs).
Dr. Westover has published his research in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Neurology, JAMA Neurology, Annals of Neurology, Epilepsia, the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, and Lancet Digital Health. He has presented his work at international, national, and regional meetings, including the annual meetings of the American Epilepsy Society, the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, the American Academy of Neurology, and SLEEP. -
