Yijie (Jamie) Li
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, working on longitudinal wearable data to study interventions for diabetes and childhood obesity. I use computational and machine learning methods to extract actionable insights from high-resolution health data to improve treatment outcomes. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Tulsa, focusing on machine learning for major depressive disorder using genomics, gene age, and neurofeedback. I also hold master’s degrees in Applied Economics and Finance from UC Santa Cruz and in Accountancy from the University of Tulsa, where I worked on financial modeling and stock market analysis.

Nazanin Mahinparvar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Nazanin Mahinparvar is a physician-scientist whose work brings together translational research, medical education, and procedural innovation. She received her Doctor of Medicine degree from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran and is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University.
As a faculty educator with the Stanford Anesthesia Summer Institute (SASI), She teaches skin anatomy, wound healing, local anesthesia, wound closure, and microsurgical skills through hands-on educational programs. She is also actively involved in global medical education and mentorship, supporting students and early-career trainees through research, procedural training, and career development.
Dr. Mahinparvar’s passion for pain research is deeply personal. Having experienced severe chronic pain during adolescence, she developed a lasting commitment to understanding pain mechanisms and improving the lives of patients through innovative, non-opioid therapies.
Beyond research, She has always been drawn to disciplines that combine creativity with precision. She enjoys watercolor painting, playing piano, nail art, LEGO model building, and other hands-on creative activities that require meticulous attention to detail. She believes dermatology uniquely integrates art, science, technology, communication, pathology, diagnosis, and procedural medicine, making it the specialty that best reflects both her professional interests and personal strengths. She aspires to build an academic career in dermatology as a physician-scientist, educator, and mentor dedicated to advancing patient care, and translational research. -
Rory Vu Mather
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioI'm a future physician-scientist working at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and neural signal processing. As part of the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program, I recently completed my PhD in Medical Engineering & Medical Physics (MEMP) through the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) Program.
Currently I'm a postdoctoral fellow in pediatric anesthesiology with Dr. Jennifer Rabbitts and Dr. Cornelius Groenewald at Stanford, where I apply causal inference methods to large-scale electronic health record data to estimate how intraoperative decisions shape long-term postoperative pain and opioid outcomes in children.
I'm also interested in medical education and administration, particularly supporting minority populations such as LGBTQIA+ and Vietnamese communities. Outside of science, I bring a background in graphic design, marketing, and brand development for technology companies, universities, and non-profits.
