Rakshit Kaushik
Student Employee, Med/Quantitative Sciences Unit
BioHey there! I'm Rakshit Kaushik, hailing from the vibrant city of New Delhi, India. Embarking on my journey, I'm proudly joining the esteemed Stanford University as a member of the undergraduate class of '27. As I step into the realm of higher education, I'm eagerly poised to explore the realms of mathematics and computer science, both of which captivate my fervent interest.
Diving deep into my academic pursuits, I've been immersed in several enthralling research papers within the realm of mathematics. I take immense delight in blending the worlds of numbers and algorithms, where computer science plays a pivotal role. One such fascinating area I've delved into is Benford's law, uncovering its intricate connections to the digital realm.
Looking ahead, my aspirations soar as I strive to advance my research endeavors at Stanford, harnessing the incredible opportunities provided by programs such as SURIM and CURIS. These initiatives hold the promise of propelling my passion to new heights, enabling me to unravel more mysteries and push the boundaries of knowledge.
If you'd like to delve deeper into my projects and experiences, feel free to explore my LinkedIn profile at https://www.linkedin.com/in/rakshit-kaushik-93666a249/. I'd be delighted to connect and share more about my fascinating journey! -
Masataka Kawana
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioDr. Kawana joined the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology group in 2018. He completed his internal medicine, cardiovascular medicine, and heart failure training at Stanford. He also completed a postdoctoral research fellowship under Dr. James Spudich in the Department of Biochemistry. He sees advanced heart failure patients in the clinic and attends CCU/heart failure service, and post-heart transplant and MCS service. His research interests are in the fundamental mechanism of inherited cardiomyopathies, and he studies the effect of gene mutation on the cardiac sarcomere function using cutting-edge biochemical and biophysical approaches, which would lead to the development of novel pharmacotherapy that directly modulates cardiac muscle protein. He is involved in multiple clinical trials for pharmacotherapy in inherited cardiomyopathy and also conducting a device study in heart failure.
