Richard Haarburger
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
BioRichard Haarburger is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Medicine (Primary Care and Population Health) at Stanford University, working in the lab of Pascal Geldsetzer. He studies questions at the intersection of epidemiology, health policy, and applied econometrics, with a focus on causal inference in large real-world health datasets.
His current work uses quasi-experimental and survival analysis methods to evaluate how preventive interventions (e.g. herpes zoster vaccinations) affect neurological outcomes such as dementia incidence at the population level. He also develops empirical strategies for dealing with challenges common in observational health data, including treatment effect heterogeneity, incomplete outcome follow-up, and competing risks.
Richard’s broader research interests include impact evaluation methods, causal machine learning, and the health and economic consequences of new technologies. During his PhD in quantitative economics, he worked on measurement bias in health surveys, high-dimensional forecasting, and heterogeneity in technology adoption. -
Jen Haensel
Basic Life Research Scientist, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioI am a Research Scientist in the Roberts Vision Development & Oculomotor Lab at Stanford University’s Department of Ophthalmology, working at the intersection of vision science, neuroscience, and experimental psychology. My current research uses eye-tracking, photorefraction, and psychophysics to study oculomotor development and visual function in amblyopia, strabismus, and concussion. I also work on developing methodology to record accommodative measurements and gaze behaviour in dynamic, naturalistic settings.
I completed my PhD in Experimental Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London (UK), where I used advanced eye-tracking techniques to study the influence of postnatal experience on social gaze behaviour. Prior to joining Stanford, I also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bath (UK), developing empirical human-robot interaction studies to inform the ethical design of humanoid robots. -
Meghan Halley
Assistant Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics)
BioMeghan Halley, PhD, MPH is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Research) in the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University School of Medicine. With training in medical anthropology, public health and health services research, her scholarship draws on multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches to examine ethical, legal, social and policy questions arising in clinical and translational research. Her areas of expertise include the ethics of new genomic technologies, normative frameworks for integrating research and clinical care, challenges and opportunities in patient and community engagement, and the epistemic and ethical implications of valuing new health interventions. Her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and the National Science Foundation and published in high-impact journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Genetics, and the American Journal of Bioethics.
