Oliver O. Aalami, MD
Adjunct Professor, Bioengineering
BioDr. Oliver Aalami is a vascular surgeon and the Director of Digital Health at the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign. His primary mission is to advance healthcare access through digital health education, research, and translation. At Stanford, he serves as the course director for Biodesign for Digital Health and Building for Digital Health and is a co-founder of Spezi (formerly CardinalKit), an open-source framework developed to support sensor-based mobile research.
His recent work focuses on the intersection of AI and patient care, including the development of an FDA-cleared open-source computer vision model for opportunistic abdominal aortic diameter quantification on routine CT scans. Additionally, he is developing LLMonFHIR, a system that allows consumers to "chat" with their medical records (FHIR resources) on mobile devices, as well as AI-assisted coaching tools to guide patients through therapy. -

Mohammad Abbasi, PhD
RSE / Data Scientist and Data Manager at Transitional AI lab, Psych/Public Mental Health & Population Sciences
BioI am a Research Software Engineer (RSE) | Data Scientist & Data Manager at the Stanford Translational AI (STAI) Lab. I lead data engineering and AI infrastructure across large-scale neuroscience and healthcare projects, building standards-first, end-to-end pipelines for data collection, curation, preprocessing, and multimodal integration. My work emphasizes reproducibility, scalability, and interoperability through BIDS-style schemas, schema validation, containerized deployments, and CI/CD across heterogeneous computing environments.
I have designed and maintained containerized preprocessing workflows for thousands of subjects across major datasets, automating modality-specific steps such as registration, intensity normalization, bias-field correction, motion/confound estimation, quality control, and downstream metadata exports. I ensure these pipelines are robust, well-documented, versioned, and reusable across projects, sites, and modalities. -
Frank Abild-Pedersen
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDr. Abild-Pedersen is the co-director of SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis. He is leading a research team that focuses on developing an understanding of the factors determining the catalytic properties at the interface between gas/solvent and solid surfaces and to apply these insights to processes and catalysts of importance for energy transformations and for sustainable chemical production. His research takes advantage of computer facilities at SLAC and Stanford to gain the necessary understanding and to link these simulations to experiments where new catalyst synthesis methods are developed, and the catalyst materials are characterized both in terms of performance (activity, selectivity, durability, etc.) and in terms of geometrical and electronic structure. The underlying philosophy of his research is that by having a fundamental understanding of the way surfaces catalyze a chemical reaction we can make a quantum leap in our ability to make predictions for new catalysts and processes. This requires the development of a theory of heterogeneous catalysis, including electrocatalysis, based on computational and experimental results.
Dr Abild-Pedersen has extensive experience with simulations and modeling of chemical reactions. His work began with the derivation of energy correlations in catalysis that have helped speed up screening for active, selective and stable catalysts for energy conversion as a graduate student working with Professor Jens K. Nørskov at the Technical University of Denmark. He moved to SLAC in 2010 as a staff scientist and helped build up SUNCAT and define research directions in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. -
Oscar J. Abilez
Senior Scientist, Cardiothoracic Surgery - Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Abilez' interests are aimed at elucidating how various biophysical and biochemical perturbations regulate early cardiovascular development across time and length scales that span several orders of magnitude, using human pluripotent stem cells as a model system.

Siwaar Abouhala
MD Student, expected graduation Winter 2030
GraduateCELC, Haas Center for Public ServiceBioSiwaar Abouhala [pronounced: Sea-waar Ah-bu-ha-la] (she/her) is an incoming first-year medical student, a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, and a Leadership in Health Disparities (LHDP) researcher at Stanford Medicine. Siwaar is a health equity researcher and leader, with interests in community-engaged methods, maternal and child health, minoritized health disparities, and implementation science.
She graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University in May 2023 with triple majors in community health (highest thesis honors), biology, and Arabic language and cultural studies. There, she founded MARCH: Maternal Advocacy and Research for Community Health, the largest undergraduate student-run maternal health organization in the United States, as well as the Arab Maternal Health in Ohio Study, the first qualitative maternal health assessment among Arab American mothers.
After graduation, Siwaar conducted extensive biomedical and public health research to further health equity, including at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard [Founder of Project MENA PEDIGREE: Middle Eastern or North African Progressing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Genetic Research, Education, and Empowerment], Tufts Medicine [Founder of Project INSPIRE: Improving New Somerville Parent and Infant Resiliency and Engagement], the Arab American Health Network Alliance (AAHNA), and the Rare Disease Diversity Coalition (RDDC).
Siwaar plans on training as a physician-advocate at Stanford, with research and health innovation serving as a necessary bridge between both roles.

Dr. Adamson’s expertise and interests span employing translational neuroscience methodologies for diagnostic and neuromodulation treatments (such as repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)) for frequent health problems in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), psychiatric problems, and Alzheimer's disease. She has employed advanced structural and functional imaging modalities and biomarker assessments for treatment response and diagnosis in Veteran, active military, and civilian populations with these health problems. She has been a leader in identifying sex differences in brain injury, particularly in the Veteran population. She currently serves as PI and Site-PI on numerous neuromodulation clinical trials and collaborates internationally to develop advanced diagnostic methods in neuroimaging, especially in underserved communities.
