Shima Salehi
Assistant Professor (Research) of Education
BioShima Salehi is a Research Assistant Professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education, and the director of IDEAL research lab, the research component of Stanford IDEAL initiative to promote inclusivity, diversity, equity and access in learning communities. Her research focuses on how to use different instructional practices to teach science and engineering more effectively and inclusively. For effective science and engineering education, Dr. Salehi has studied effective scientific problem-solving and developed empirical framework for main problem-solving practices to train students in. Based on these findings, she has designed instructional activities to provide students with explicit opportunities to learn these problem-solving practices. These activities have been implemented in different science and engineering courses. For Inclusive science and engineering, she examines different barriers for equity in STEM education and through what instructional and/or institutional changes they can be addressed. Her recent works focus on what are the underlying mechanisms for demographic performance gaps in STEM college education, and what instructional practices better serve students from different demographic backgrounds. Salehi holds a PhD in Learning Sciences and a PhD minor in Psychology from Stanford University, and received a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. She is the founder of KhanAcademyFarsi, a non-profit educational organization which has provided service to Farsi-speaking students, particularly in under-privileged areas.

Alexander J Salerno
Affiliate, Rad/Neuroimaging and Neurointervention
Visiting Scholar, Rad/Neuroimaging and NeurointerventionBioDr. Alexander Salerno is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. As a neurologist and stroke specialist, he is dedicated to advancing neuroimaging technologies and directly improving clinical care for patients with cerebrovascular disease. His research in the Heit Lab focuses on the clinical and radiological evaluation of patients with acute ischemic stroke, with a special emphasis on posterior circulation stroke management. He will develop pipelines that refine prognostic models using multimodal imaging to help guide acute treatment decisions.
Dr. Salerno earned his MD at the University of Genoa, Italy, followed by his neurology residency, an MD-PhD in cerebrovascular disease, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Stroke Center of Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland. At Lausanne, he also holds a faculty appointment as Reader and Clinical Faculty (MERc-PD). An effective catalyst for collaborative research with a strong clinical research background, he actively coordinates international multicenter collaborations and helps establish large-scale, federated data-sharing networks for international stroke registries. Alongside his research, he is dedicated to medical education and enjoys finding engaging ways to teach clinical neurology.
Fun fact: when he is not analyzing brain scans or asking patients to repeat "No ifs, ands, or buts," Alexander is a passionate marine aquarist who loves aquascaping miniature coral reefs right in his living room. An avid traveler with a creative eye for designing scientific illustrations, he also enjoys unwinding by cooking authentic Italian cuisine.
