Shashi Singh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Shashi Bhushan Singh is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, where he has been contributing to Professor Heike E. Daldrup-Link’s laboratory since 2023. His research focuses on clinical and translational molecular imaging, with a particular emphasis on developing and applying artificial intelligence algorithms for the automated detection and monitoring of pediatric cancers, including lymphoma and sarcomas, using PET and MRI.
Dr. Singh is involved in projects encompassing AI-driven multimodal pediatric lymphoma detection, automation of the Deauville score, and prediction of post-chemotherapy responses in pediatric osteosarcoma. He also investigates the impact of iron-oxide nanoparticles on tumor-associated macrophages in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, using MRI.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Singh worked as a physician in Nepal from 2019 to 2021, gaining extensive clinical experience across a wide range of disease conditions. He subsequently served as a research scholar at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (2021–2023) under the mentorship of Professor Abass Alavi. During this time, he conducted PET/CT research using a variety of radiotracers in hematological malignancies, aging, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological and psychiatric conditions, as well as infectious, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases.
Outside of his professional work, Dr. Singh enjoys exploring local restaurants and beaches in the Bay Area, going for long drives, hiking, and playing sports, including volleyball, cricket, and soccer. -

Simon Thalén
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioI am a clinical physiology resident at Karolinska University Hospital and completed my thesis on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With a background in mathematics, I am trying to live at the intersection of mathematics, technology, and medicine. My thesis focused on MRI evaluation of constrictive heart diseases, such as pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis. I used phase contrast MRI to measure respiratory variation in mitral and tricuspid peak early blood flow velocities and T1 mapping to characterize pericardial effusion fluid.

Henk van Voorst
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. van Voorst is a postdoctoral scholar in Radiology studying the interfaces of artificial intelligence and neuroradiological imaging in stroke. Originally educated as an MD, Dr. van Voorst gained additional degrees in Finance and Data Science. As a PhD student, Dr. van Voorst focused on cost-effectiveness modeling and developed machine learning and deep learning algorithms with applications in acute ischemic stroke imaging. In his current research, Dr. van Voorst develops artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically extract information from arteries and veins in radiological stroke imaging.

Jie Wang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Jie Wang is deeply passionate about magnetic nanotechnology, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic particle imaging (MPI), magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), magnetic nanofluid hyperthermia (MNFH), magnetic biosensors, etc., for biomedical applications. His dissertation focuses on MRI-guided magnetic hyperthermia for cancer theranostics. Currently, his research interests include developing enzyme-activable nanoparticles for brain cancer theranostics and employing multi-modal imaging modalities to investigate the interaction between nanoparticles and biosystems (nano-bio interaction) within tumor microenvironment.

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). -
McKenzie White
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioI work at the intersection of machine learning, medical imaging, and biomechanics. I'm committed to developing tools that bridge gaps between computational methods, musculoskeletal research, and clinical care - enabling more precise analyses, efficient workflows, and improved surgical decision-making.

Wesley Williams
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFirstly, a goal of mine is to fashion a novel scatter-based parameter for PET reconstruction algorithms to improve image resolution via determining a more detailed scatter/true ratio estimate via binning the photons that have scattered once, twice, and perhaps, many more times.
Secondly, AI drug discovery application towards radiotracers may quicken experimentation by determining the formulations worth trying. Moreover, it may be able to characterize efficacy (biodistribution) (self-update).
