Fatemeh Sadat Rassouli
Sample Preparation Laboratory Manager, Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability - Dean's Office
BioI am a postdoc researcher in the department of Geophysics. I graduated from Stanford University with a Ph.D. degree in 2017, and an MSc degree in 2015 in Geophysics and Seismology. The focus of my research was on the time-dependent behavior of carbonate and clay-rich shales at different reservoir conditions and scales. As a postdoc, I am expanding my previous finding by studying the thermo-viscoplastic behavior of shale rocks.
I hold another MSc degree in Mining Engineering from the University of Tehran, where I conducted impression creep tests to characterize the creep behavior of soft rocks, such as salts mud-rocks and tuffs. I performed these experiments in different laboratories at the University of Tehran, Tokai University of Japan and Toyota National College of Technology. -
Fayed Rassoulou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioFayed obtained a PhD in Psychology from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, where he worked in the Institute for Clinical Neuroscience and Medical Psychology under Dr. Jan Hirschmann, and a BSc and MSc in Cognitive Science from Université Lumière Lyon 2, France. His dissertation research combined magnetoencephalography (MEG) and deep brain local field potential (LFP) recordings with machine learning to identify electrophysiological signatures that predict which deep brain stimulation (DBS) contacts will provide the greatest clinical benefit for individuals with Parkinson's disease, with the goal of reducing the time required for clinical DBS programming. His postdoctoral work at Stanford with Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart focuses on cognitive-motor symptoms, gait impairment, and freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. He combines subthalamic nucleus LFP dynamics, DBS lead localization, and modeling of the volume of tissue activated by stimulation with deep learning-based decoding to better understand and ultimately improve adaptive deep brain stimulation for gait.

Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioRoxanne Rassti, Ph.D., is an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a faculty member of the Stanford Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship, where she provides didactic instruction and supervision in forensic assessment, violence risk evaluation, and criminal responsibility.
A licensed forensic and clinical psychologist, Dr. Rassti has more than a decade of specialized experience conducting forensic evaluations within courts, secure psychiatric hospitals, and justice-involved settings. Her evaluation practice spans competency to stand trial, not guilty by reason of insanity, Mentally Disordered Offender commitments, mental health diversion, mitigation, juvenile transfer, and Franklin resentencing, as well as structured violence and sexual-offense risk assessment. She has provided expert testimony in hundreds of court proceedings and parole hearings across California.
Dr. Rassti is co-owner of Central Coast Evaluation Services, where she conducts criminal and civil forensic evaluations, serves as a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME), and performs independent medical evaluations. POST-certified, she also specializes in public-safety work, including fitness-for-duty determinations, pre-employment psychological screenings, and trainings for police departments. She previously served for eight years as a Senior Psychologist Specialist in Forensics at the California Department of State Hospitals - Atascadero, evaluating high-acuity patients with severe mental illness and co-occurring forensic-legal needs.
Committed to training forensic clinicians, Dr. Rassti has supervised and provided didactic instruction for Stanford psychiatry fellows and psychology predoctoral interns in forensic assessment, report writing, and testimony preparation. She holds adjunct faculty appointments in psychology at California Polytechnic State University, where she teaches forensic psychology and abnormal psychology, and at Colorado State University.
Her scholarship addresses emerging issues at the intersection of psychology and law, including a forthcoming chapter on deepfake evidence and authenticity challenges for judges and juries in Advances in Psychology and Law (Springer). She is a member of the American Psychology-Law Society and the American Psychological Association, and volunteers with the California Western Innocence & Justice Clinic.
