Cara Rada
Postdoctoral Scholar, Hematology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI develop human brain models to study neurological infection, cancer metastasis, and neurodegeneration. My research focuses on the brain’s blood vessels and brain resident immune cell, microglia, and investigates how alterations in these components of the brain microenvironment can have deleterious effects.

Ali Rahimpour Jounghani
Research Scientist, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences
BioMy long-term research interests lie in advancing our understanding of neuroimaging techniques and their application in mapping developmental pathways of brain networks, with a focus on how alterations in these networks contribute to mental health disorders. My academic training and multidisciplinary research background have provided me with expertise in a range of neuroimaging modalities, including functional MRI (fMRI), structural MRI, electroencephalography (EEG), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
During my doctoral studies, I investigated the effects of contextually specific, action-based timing behavior on brain responses, as well as the functional impacts of timing behavior in cochlear implant users. These studies provided valuable insights into the temporal dynamics of brain function. My research has also extended to clinical and cognitive applications, such as studying brain functionality in infants in neonatal intensive care units and in adults with brain disorders.
Currently, as a research scientist at Stanford University, my work bridges psychiatry, cognitive science, and biomedical engineering. I focus on refining neuroimaging data analysis techniques and advancing the use of fNIRS and MRI to explore developmental cognition, particularly for ADHD. A significant part of my current research involves the development of a wearable, cost-effective fNIRS platform for precision mental health. Through my work, I aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of brain disorders and to create practical, cutting-edge tools that advance precision mental health care. -

Mahalakshmi Ramamurthy
Basic Life Research Scientist, Peds/Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Jason Yeatman. With a background in vision science, psychophysics and developmental cognitive neuroscience my long-term goal is to study the intersection of basic visual mechanisms and various neurodevelopmental disorders and to extend this understanding in creating effective early screening tools, and in advancing evidence-based therapeutic and remediation programs. Inherent to this interest is the need for developmental data in large and demographically diverse populations. I strongly believe that such inclusive research not only contributes to scientific advancements but can go beyond to bridge health and education disparities.

Valeria Ramirez Castaneda
Postdoctoral Scholar, Economics
BioValeria Ramírez Castañeda is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the King Center on Global Development. Her research explores the intersection of urbanization, sustainability, and disease ecology, with a focus on Amazonian cities. She studies how urban expansion interacts with environmental change and vector-borne disease dynamics, using participatory research approaches to co-develop solutions with local communities. In addition to her ecological research, she examines the dominance of English in science and its structural consequences, working to promote more inclusive and multilingual scientific practices. Ramírez-Castañeda received her PhD in evolutionary biology from the University of California, Berkeley.
