Akshay Paruchuri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioI'm currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Stanford Translational AI (STAI) lab led by Professor Ehsan Adeli. I earned my PhD in computer science at UNC Chapel Hill under the advisement of Professor Henry Fuchs. My research interests are at the intersection of health AI, computer vision, and machine learning. Currently, I'm working toward a future where next-generation healthcare systems improve the entire patient journey, from advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical support to all-day health monitoring and management, to achieve better therapeutic outcomes for cancer and aging-related diseases. I'm generally interested in opportunities that would allow me to continue to deepen my research expertise while leading and working on projects with meaningful, positive real-world impact, especially with respect to areas such as healthcare and environmental sustainability.
Previously, I was a visiting researcher at IDSIA USI-SUPSI working with Professor Piotr Didyk on the interpretability of multimodal language models (MLMs) with respect to capabilities such as visual perception. I've published in leading venues on topics such as remote health sensing (WACV, NeurIPS), 3D reconstruction (ECCV, MICCAI), LLM-based conversational agents for personal health (EMNLP, Nature Communications), and energy-efficient operation of smart glasses (ISMAR). I've done internships at Google AR/VR, Google Consumer Health Research, and Kitware. -
Josef Parvizi, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
BioDr. Parvizi completed his medical internship at Mayo Clinic, neurology training at Harvard, and subspecialty training in clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy at UCLA before joining the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford in 2007. Dr. Parvizi directs the Stanford Program for Medication Resistant Epilepsies and specializes in surgical treatments of intractable focal epilepsies. Dr. Parvizi is the principal investigator in the Laboratory of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, where he leads a team of investigators to study the human brain. http://med.stanford.edu/parvizi-lab.html.

Dr. Christopher T. Parzyck
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioMy research interests lie at the intersection of materials science and condensed matter physics. I work on thin film synthesis of oxide and metal systems by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). Applications range from answering fundamental physics questions about high temperature superconductivity to developing practical synthesis routines and new materials for next generation electron sources. In addition, I work on projects involving spectroscopic probes of thin film systems, including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) measurements.
