Ashley Prow Fleischer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioI earned a PhD in Earth Science with a focus in paleoclimatology from Syracuse University, where my research focused on reconstructing past environmental change and biotic responses using microfossils and geochemical proxies. My work integrates stratigraphy, paleobiology, geochemistry, and climate modeling to better understand Earth's climate dynamics during the intervals of rapid change, like the Late Devonian and end Triassic mass extinctions.

Ruishi Qi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Applied Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study strongly correlated quantum matter in electrically tunable two-dimensional electron–hole systems. Combining van der Waals heterostructures with low-temperature optical spectroscopy, transport, and thermodynamic measurements, I investigate excitons, trions, biexcitons, excitonic insulators, condensates, and crystals.

Weiyu Qian
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioWeiyu Qian is a postdoctoral researcher at the PULSE Institute. He is focusing on the spectroscopic characterization of fleeting species and chemical reaction paradigm. He received Walter Benjamin Fellowship from DFG. During his time in Germany, he independently drove the discovery of N6 from initial conception to final execution, performing both the experimental synthesis and the computational analyses (10.1038/s41586-025-09032-9, Nature 642, 356–360 (2025)). Drawing on his observations of the academic ecosystem, he also published a correspondence regarding the power imbalances in adviser–student relationships (10.1038/d41586-026-01776-2, Nature 654, 290 (2026)).

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
Affiliate, 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.

Asad Gul Rao
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pediatric Surgery
BioAs a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Division of Pediatric Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine, I conduct outcomes research focused on improving the care of children with surgical disorders. My work integrates clinical epidemiology, large-scale healthcare databases, and population-level analyses to study pediatric surgical outcomes, healthcare disparities, and global disease burden.
My research interests include pediatric surgical infections, congenital anomalies, health services research, and evidence-based approaches to optimizing surgical care. I have experience working with multicenter clinical databases and international collaborative research initiatives, with a particular interest in translating real-world data into findings that help clinical practice and healthcare policy.
My long-term goal is to pursue a career in academic pediatric surgery, combining clinical practice with research to improve surgical outcomes and expand access to high-quality care for children worldwide.
