Sonya Ashikyan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioI develop and apply machine learning and computational neuroimaging methods to study brain aging and Alzheimer's disease progression. My research focuses on cognitive impairments and their neural correlates, predicting recovery trajectories following neural damage, and improving the precision of neurodiagnostic and prognostic tools.
I completed my Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where my research focused on traumatic brain injury. My work integrated multimodal neuroimaging with advanced statistical modeling and machine learning techniques to characterize neural injury across varying levels of severity. -

Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in investigating the cell type-specific and neural circuit mechanisms underlying emotional disorders. In particular, I strive to explore the neural mechanisms associated with psychedelic drugs, focusing on how these substances improve mood and exhibit antidepressant-like effects.

Shania Danielle Bayley
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Shania Bayley is a Postdoctoral Scholar on the Autism Spectrum Disorders track at Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She earned her Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University Maryland, where her training was specialized in child and adolescent psychology with a strong emphasis on neurodevelopmental disorders, trauma-informed care, and early relational health.
She completed her predoctoral internship at WestCoast Children’s Clinic in Oakland, California. Her clinical interests include diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorder, parent-child relational dynamics, and attachment-based interventions in marginalized communities. She has received training in psychodiagnostic testing and has experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and families across school, community, and hospital settings. -
Elizabeth Beam
Clinical Scholar, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Postdoctoral Scholar, PsychiatryBioEllie Beam is a psychiatry resident pursuing research at the intersection of neuroscience, computer science, and language. She completed MD/PhD training at Stanford Medical School with funding from the MSTP and the NRSA fellowship. Her doctoral thesis synthesized the neuroimaging literature into a framework for knowledge of human brain function, published in Nature Neuroscience and forming the basis for a US patent. Her work has been recognized by the Leah J. Dickstein Medical Student Award and Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship.
