Vivek Maradia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Therapy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI research ultra-high dose rate delivery using proton, x-ray, and electron beams for FLASH preclinical studies, aiming to understand efficacy and safety mechanisms. My work aims to transform cancer therapy and enhance patient outcomes. Leveraging insights from PSI's PROScan facility, I design a compact cyclotron-based proton therapy infrastructure for various radiation therapy setups.

Riccardo Marrocchio
Postdoctoral Scholar, Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery
BioRiccardo Marrocchio received his BSc in Physics from the Sapienza University of Rome and his MSc in Physics from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. During his master, he had the opportunity to study and develop analytical and computational techniques to build mathematical models of complex biological systems, in particular of neuronal networks and the hearing system. He then joined the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research as a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Southampton. During his Ph.D., he worked on the development of a model of active cochlear micromechanics. After his PhD he continued at the University of Southampton joining the DigiTwin project as a Research Fellow, to work on the generalization of the biological feedback system of the cochlea to the design of control systems. To pursue his interests in hearing research, he joined Dr. Ó Maoiléidigh Lab, where he is working on stochastic fluctuations in hair bundles.

Jeremy Martin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Political Science
BioJeremy T. Martin is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Political Science and affiliate researcher in the Center for Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University. His research examines the politics of philanthropic organizations and their involvement in K-12 public education, with a particular focus on foundations that are created by Black people. More broadly, his work investigates how elite and non-state actors shape public policy.
Jeremy’s postdoctoral research project is a national, multi-year, multi-method study examining how foundations are responding to federal actions and political pressures. The project explores if and how philanthropic strategies and priorities are shifting—and the implications of these changes for receiving communities and for the role of foundations in a democratic society. His postdoctoral research is supported by grants from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund, the Stuart Foundation, and the Heising-Simons Foundation.
Jeremy’s work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including Du Bois Review, Philanthropy & Education, Urban Review, and others. He is the recipient of the 2026 Outstanding Research Paper Award from the American Educational Research Association’s Philanthropy & Education SIG and the Emerging Scholars Fellowship from Stanford Impact Labs.
Prior to joining Stanford, Jeremy was a Eugene Cota-Robles Doctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley. His dissertation research on Black foundations is organized around three core questions: (1) Why and how were Black foundations created? (2) What political ideological frameworks do foundations adopt? (3) And how do those ideologies shape grantmaking behavior? His dissertation represents the first national empirical study of Black philanthropic foundations in the United States.
He holds a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an M.A. from Columbia University, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. -
Ivan Martinovic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioIvan Martinović is a postdoctoral researcher and Fulbright Scholar in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he works under the supervision of Prof. Ehsan Adeli. His research focuses on biomedical engineering, with particular emphasis on the application of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. He completed his PhD research on the topic of "Application of Artificial Intelligence for Automatic Analysis of Fluoroscopic X-ray Images" under the supervision of Prof. Ervin Sejdić at the University of Toronto. During his PhD studies, he collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh and was selected by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology as one of 50 PhD candidates from across Europe to conduct research at Aarhus University in Denmark.
He is the author of 18 scientific publications, and serves as a collaborator with the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts on the development of the Montenegrin Lexicon of Healthcare. He is additionally engaged as a reviewer for several leading international scientific journals and conferences, and has participated in more than 35 international and national scientific, educational, and innovation projects. He is a member of the ITU Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health.
In addition to his research activities, he is actively engaged in science promotion and STEM education. He serves as CEO of epiSTEMe Hub and as Head of the Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the PRONA Foundation. He is also a member of the Montenegro Makers Foundation team, which launched Montenegro’s first robotics league for elementary school students. He developed the first smart city concept for his hometown of Cetinje and collaborates with the Government of Montenegro on developing the country’s first artificial intelligence training program for civil servants.
