Mark Horowitz
Fortinet Founders Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Yahoo! Founders Professor in the School of Engineering, Professor of Computer Science, and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution
BioProfessor Horowitz initially focused on designing high-performance digital systems by combining work in computer-aided design tools, circuit design, and system architecture. During this time, he built a number of early RISC microprocessors, and contributed to the design of early distributed shared memory multiprocessors. In 1990, Dr. Horowitz took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc., a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology. After returning in 1991, his research group pioneered many innovations in high-speed link design, and many of today’s high speed link designs are designed by his former students or colleagues from Rambus.
In the 2000s he started a long collaboration with Prof. Levoy on computational photography, which included work that led to the Lytro camera, whose photographs could be refocused after they were captured.. Dr. Horowitz's current research interests are quite broad and span using EE and CS analysis methods to problems in neuro and molecular biology to creating new agile design methodologies for analog and digital VLSI circuits. He remains interested in learning new things, and building interdisciplinary teams. -

Felix Janos Horvath
Graduate, Medicine, Radiology
BioI'm an Austrian medical student at Heidelberg University and, since March 2026, a Visiting Student Researcher. I work in the Department of Radiology at Stanford, where Prof. Heike Daldrup-Link supervises my doctoral work.
We develop AI methods for pediatric whole-body PET/MRI. Segmentation models are trained almost entirely on adult scans, and children are not small adults, so anatomy that changes with age is where those models fail. We are also assembling a public pediatric PET/MRI dataset so other groups can test their methods. Pediatric medicine runs on a fraction of the evidence adult medicine has, because the cohorts are small and the studies are hard to run. That is the gap I want to work in, not least because the impact you can have here lasts a lifetime.
My background is a technical one. At school in Graz I spent my free time building robots with a team that made it to the RoboCup World Championship in Sydney, and my thesis was on CRISPR/Cas9 as a tool against malaria. Both halves were there early. I went into medicine rather than engineering because I wanted work that happens between people and not only in front of a screen. Since starting med school, I finished the first written part of the German licensing examination in the top 1% nationwide.
Outside the lab I spend most of my time playing sports. I started tennis when I was very young and later switched to volleyball. Recently I picked up triathlon and finished my first Ironman at the European Championships. -

Hadi Hosseini
Associate Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Interdisciplinary Brain Science Research)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab’s research portfolio crosses multiple disciplines including computational neuropsychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, multimodal neuroimaging and neurocognitive rehabilitation. Our computational neuropsychiatry research mainly involves investigating alterations in the organization of connectome in various neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive disorders using state of the art neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, sMRI, DWI, functional NIRS) combined with novel computational methods (graph theoretical and multivariate pattern analyses).
The ultimate goal of our research is to translate the findings from computational neuropsychiatry research toward developing personalized interventions. We have been developing personalized interventions that integrate computerized cognitive rehabilitation, real-time functional brain imaging and neurofeedback, as well as virtual reality (VR) tailored toward targeted rehabilitation of the affected brain networks in patients with neurocognitive disorders. -

Michael R. Howitt
Associate Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab is broadly interested in how intestinal microbes shape our immune system to promote both health and disease. Recently we discovered that a type of intestinal epithelial cell, called tuft cells, act as sentinels stationed along the lining of the gut. Tuft cells respond to microbes, including parasites, to initiate type 2 immunity, remodel the epithelium, and alter gut physiology. Surprisingly, these changes to the intestine rely on the same chemosensory pathway found in oral taste cells. Currently, we aim to 1) elucidate the role of specific tuft cell receptors in microbial detection. 2) To understand how protozoa and bacteria within the microbiota impact host immunity. 3) Discover how tuft cells modulate surrounding cells and tissue.
