Ivan Martinovic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioIvan Martinović is a postdoctoral researcher and Fulbright Scholar in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he works under the supervision of Prof. Ehsan Adeli. His research focuses on biomedical engineering, with particular emphasis on the application of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. He completed his PhD research on the topic of "Application of Artificial Intelligence for Automatic Analysis of Fluoroscopic X-ray Images" under the supervision of Prof. Ervin Sejdić at the University of Toronto. During his PhD studies, he collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh and was selected by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology as one of 50 PhD candidates from across Europe to conduct research at Aarhus University in Denmark.
He is the author of 18 scientific publications, and serves as a collaborator with the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts on the development of the Montenegrin Lexicon of Healthcare. He is additionally engaged as a reviewer for several leading international scientific journals and conferences, and has participated in more than 35 international and national scientific, educational, and innovation projects. He is a member of the ITU Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health.
In addition to his research activities, he is actively engaged in science promotion and STEM education. He serves as CEO of epiSTEMe Hub and as Head of the Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the PRONA Foundation. He is also a member of the Montenegro Makers Foundation team, which launched Montenegro’s first robotics league for elementary school students. He developed the first smart city concept for his hometown of Cetinje and collaborates with the Government of Montenegro on developing the country’s first artificial intelligence training program for civil servants. -
Alessandra Massa, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioPostdoctoral Fellow (Stanford Bio-X Fellowship), Head of FUNGAL FOOD LAB.
Alessandra earned her PhD in Gastronomy Sciences from the Basque Culinary Centre (Mondragon University), where her research explores filamentous fungi as an innovative platform for food development — with applications spanning the food industry and restaurant contexts. She has worked with food-tech startups such as Esencia Foods and NoMy Japan to develop mycelium-based products and alternative proteins, and has collaborated with Michelin-starred restaurants including Azurmendi, Culler de Pau, and Mugaritz.As a Postdoctoral Researcher at Hill-Maini Lab, Alessandra works at the crossroads of bioengineering and gastronomy, using Neurospora intermedia as a tool to transform food waste into, nutritious and delicious foods. Her work sits at the intersection of science, industry, and gastronomy — driven by a deep passion for finding solutions to real-world food challenges. Just as fungi spread through their mycelium, Alessandra is on a mission to spread gastronomy across disciplines around the campus! -
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. -
Brittany Elizabeth Matheson, PhD
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioBrittany Matheson, PhD, is a clinical associate professor and licensed clinical psychologist in the Eating Disorders Clinic. She completed her undergraduate degree at Duke University, doctorate from the Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego, and APA clinical internship at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH)/Children’s Health Council. Dr. Matheson is a certified family-based treatment (FBT) therapist and consultant. She is also the director of the Stanford Eating Disorder Research Program Data Coordination Center and collaborates with colleagues on NIH-funded randomized clinical trials. Dr. Matheson's research interests include examining the psychosocial, neurocognitive, and familial factors related to disordered eating and excess weight gain in youth. She is interested in the development and implementation of evidence-based treatments for youth with disordered eating as well as better understanding factors that influence pediatric bariatric surgery outcomes. Dr. Matheson has specialized research and clinical expertise in the interplay among obesity, disordered eating, and autism spectrum disorder and is the director of psychological services for the LPCH adolescent metabolic and bariatric surgery program. She conducts comprehensive evaluations and provides evidence-based treatments for individuals across the age-spectrum with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and other specified feeding and eating disorders. Her recent research focuses on reducing access to care barriers by digitizing evidence-based treatments and utilizing technology to enhance treatment outcomes.
