Linxi Shi
Sr Res Scientist-Physical, Rad/Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioI am a medical physicist and imaging scientist with over a decade of experience in CT imaging, algorithm development, and AI-driven reconstruction. I earned my Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I developed novel artifact corrections and reconstruction algorithms for cone beam computed tomography, focusing on applications in breast cancer diagnosis and image-guided radiation therapy.
Following my doctoral studies, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the Stanford Cancer Imaging Training (SCIT) Program. Currently, I serves as a Senior Research Scientist in the Radiological Sciences Laboratory at Stanford University. My research focuses on developing advanced clinical translational x-ray and CT imaging systems, including algorithm design for tomographic reconstruction, artifact correction, and image processing for various imaging modalities. -
Junming Seraphina Shi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Biology
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, jointly mentored by Dr. Mohammad Shahrokh Esfahani and Dr. Md Tauhidul Islam. My research focuses on developing robust statistical machine learning methods for noninvasive, cost-effective cancer diagnostics, with applications in early detection, treatment monitoring, and precision oncology.
I received my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, where my dissertation centered on advancing biostatistical machine learning approaches for complex biomedical challenges. My work addressed causal inference for continuous treatments, bias and measurement patterns in ICU electronic health records, and deep learning–based biclustering and prediction of cancer-drug responses. Across these projects, I developed interpretable and scalable tools for analyzing high-dimensional, multimodal clinical data.
At Stanford, I continue to build novel statistical learning frameworks tailored to real-world clinical needs—particularly through the analysis of liquid biopsy (cell-free DNA) and cancer imaging data. My current work aims to improve cancer detection and monitoring, with a focus on noninvasive, accessible, and clinically meaningful solutions to pressing challenges in oncology. I enjoy interdisciplinary collaborations and working across fields to drive innovation in biomedical research. Deeply committed to cancer research, I aim to bridge rigorous computational methodology with patient-centered impact by designing tools that are scalable, equitable, and translational.
