Shaunak Joshi
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI am Shaunak, from India. I am starting my PhD in Energy Science and Engineering with Prof. Daniel Tartakovsky and Prof. Hamdi Tchelepi. My research will primarily focus on pore-scale modeling of lithium-based batteries.
Prior to this, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay with a Bachelor's and a Master's in Energy Science and Engineering. I love to play all sorts of sports, especially football, badminton, and cricket. You would usually see me running around the campus on odd days. Hit me up if you want to have a chat! -
Siddhartha Joshi, PhD
Senior Research Scientist, Neurosurgery
BioI am a neuroscientist with over 20 years of experience in empirical, hypothesis-driven research. My knowledge and expertise cover a wide range of topics and methods within systems neuroscience including sensory perception, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, eye-movements and pupillometry. My research is focused on how the brain represents and uses sensory information to drive goal-directed behaviors and in exploring how intrinsic neuromodulatory systems influence the neural circuits that drive such behaviors. At Stanford, I am looking to channel my experience towards studying human neural signals that underlie computations governing pain and attention.
My work thus far [1-4] supports the idea that there is a need for simultaneous measurements of behavior, brain state and large-scale cortical activity to understand how the brain’s circuits: (i) are modulated by ascending sympathetic activation and (ii) provide top-down control of descending sympathetic control. These are technically challenging experiments [3,4] that have thus far largely been explored in animal models. My current goal is to leverage opportunities to directly measure human brain activity via electrodes implanted for monitoring epilepsy. Towards this end, I will use state-of-the-art neurophysiological, behavioral, pupillometric techniques combined with quantitative analyses.

Anjali Jotwani, MD, MS
Clinical Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - Maternal Fetal Medicine
BioDr. Anjali Jotwani is an obstetrician and gynecologist at Stanford Health Care and a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Division of Gynecology & Gynecologic Specialties at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Jotwani offers comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic care for patients at every stage of life, from adolescence to menopause. She specializes in obstetric care, preventive care, the perimenopause transition and menopause, and sexual health. Dr. Jotwani’s approach is rooted in trauma‑informed care and reproductive justice. She is committed to prioritizing patient perspectives, safety, and equity.
Dr. Jotwani’s research spans many areas, from the use of genetic testing during pregnancy, to factors that contribute to gynecologic cancers. Her research interests include obstetric trauma, postpartum wellness, and medical student and resident education. Dr. Jotwani has published her work in many peer-reviewed journals, including Fertility and Sterility, JAMA Oncology, and Cell. She has also delivered presentations at national conferences, including the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
Dr. Jotwani is a junior fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a member of the North American Menopause Society. -
