Current Research and Scholarly Interests1) Healthcare management: I am interested in improving healthcare delivery using data-driven modeling and decision-making.
2) Network models and message-passing algorithms: I work on graphical modeling ideas motivated from statistical physics and their applications in statistical inference.
3) Personalized decision-making: I work on machine learning and statistical challenges of personalized decision-making. The problems that I have worked on are primarily motivated by healthcare applications. -
Tina Baykaner
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioTina Baykaner, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiac Electrophysiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She completed residency and fellowships in cardiovascular medicine and advanced heart failure at the University of California, San Diego, followed by fellowship training in cardiac electrophysiology at Stanford. She joined the Stanford faculty in 2018 and was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2023.
Dr. Baykaner’s research program focuses on atrial fibrillation (AF), cardio-oncology, and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into cardiac electrophysiology. She is Principal Investigator of an NIH R01 investigating atrial fibrillation in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and previously led an NIH K23 award focused on personalizing AF management using machine learning. She also serves as co-investigator or consultant on multiple NIH-funded R01 projects in artificial intelligence, ventricular arrhythmias, and digital cardiovascular phenotyping. Her work spans AF mechanisms, ablation outcomes, digital health implementation, and equity in arrhythmia care.
She has authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and abstracts, including more than 100 original research manuscripts, and has delivered over 100 invited lectures nationally and internationally. She served as a task force member for the 2024 EHRA/HRS/APHRS/LAHRS Expert Consensus Statement on Catheter and Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation and holds editorial leadership roles, including Associate Editor for the Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology and editorial board positions with multiple electrophysiology journals.
Dr. Baykaner is Vice-Chair of the Heart Rhythm Society Digital Education Committee and serves on national program and grant review committees, including NIH/NHLBI study sections. She is actively engaged in mentorship across undergraduate, medical, graduate, and postdoctoral levels, with mentees who have received national awards and progressed to electrophysiology fellowship and faculty positions.
Her clinical practice focuses on catheter ablation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, supraventricular tachycardias, management of inappropriate sinus tachycardia, cardiac implantable electronic device implantation and extraction, and advanced rhythm management strategies in complex patient populations. -
David Beach
Professor (Teaching) of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioBeach teaches courses in the areas of design and manufacturing. Beach and Craig Milroy co-direct the Product Realization Laboratory which provides 1700 students annually with hands on experiences in product definition, conceptual design, detail design, and prototype creation. The PRL offers courses, mentors and tools in support of integrated designing and making. Pedagogically, Beach believes that creation of experience from which students (and teams of students) can interpret and internalize their own conclusions provides an excellent complement to content based teaching. His goal is to add strength in tacit knowledge which derives from the hands-on synthesis of design, prototype building, presentation and criticism.. The resulting judgment and instinct regarding materials, devices, materials transformation processes, and design process complement classical analytical engineering education to create superior engineers.

Philip Beachy
The Ernest and Amelia Gallo Professor, Professor of Urology, of Developmental Biology and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFunction of Hedgehog proteins and other extracellular signals in morphogenesis (pattern formation), in injury repair and regeneration (pattern maintenance). We study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. We also study the normal roles of such signals in stem-cell physiology and their abnormal roles in the formation and expansion of cancer stem cells.

Hans-Christoph Becker, MD, FSABI, FSCCT
Clinical Professor, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMyocardial bridges (MB) with associated upfront atherosclerotic lesions are common findings on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Abnormal septal wall motion in exercise echocardiography (EE) may to be associated with MB. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is considered the gold standard for the detection of MB. We investigate whether CTA is comparable to IVUS for the assessment of MB and upstream plaques in symptomatic patients with suspicion for MB raised by EE.
