Ummey Hani, MBBS, MD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioHani is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Stanford University in the Neurosurgical Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Laboratory. She earned her medical degree from Sindh Medical College, Pakistan, and completed her internship at the Aga Khan University, where she was recognized as Class Valedictorian and among the top five interns of 2022. She then pursued a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates in Charlotte, North Carolina, affiliated with Wake Forest University School of Medicine, focusing on spine surgery outcomes and biomechanics. Before joining Stanford, she served as Junior Research Faculty for neuro-oncology research at the Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan.
Hani’s research spans neuro-oncology, spine surgery, biomechanics, and the application of AI/ML in neurosurgical innovation. With a deep commitment to academic neurosurgery, she is currently working towards securing a neurosurgical residency. -
Anand Veeravagu, MD, FAANS, FACS
Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and, by courtesy, of Orthopaedic Surgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe focus of my laboratory is to utilize precision medicine techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic conditions. From traumatic brain injury to spinal scoliosis, the ability to capture detailed data regarding clinical symptoms and treatment outcomes has empowered us to do better for patients. Utilize data to do better for patients, that’s what we do.

Chitra Venkatasubramanian, MBBS, MD, MSc, FNCS
Clinical Professor, Adult Neurology
Clinical Professor (By courtesy), NeurosurgeryCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the study of the radiological characteristics and temporal profile of edema/ tissue injury in the perihematomal area around spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. I am also interested in developing protocols for emergent reversal of anticoagulation in a life-threatening hemorrhage situation.

Jenli Dawn Waters, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Waters is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon with the Neurosurgery Program at Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical assistant professor of neurosurgery in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Waters specializes in treating a wide range of spinal conditions. These treatments include surgery to relieve numbness or pain related to pressure on the spinal cord and procedures to repair or stabilize the spinal column (spine fusion). Her areas of expertise also include diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injury and brain and spinal cancers.
Dr. Waters’ research experience includes helping to develop effective strategies for diagnosing
and treating patients with different neurological cancers, including glioblastomas. As a subspecialty medical expert for spine and neurosurgery, she successfully advocated for insurance coverage of state-of-the-art, minimally invasive approaches to treating epilepsy and brain tumors.
Dr. Waters has published her work in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Neurosurgery and the Journal of Neuro-Oncology. She has also authored and co-authored chapters in numerous books describing neurosurgical techniques and the diagnosis and treatment of various neurological conditions, including brain and spinal cord tumors.
Dr. Waters is a member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. -
Kenneth Weber, DC, PhD
Assistant Professor (Research) of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery (Adult Neurosurgery) and of Radiology (Neuroimaging and Neurointervention)
BioDr. Weber directs the Neuromuscular Insight Lab. Dr. Weber's research seeks to develop quantitative markers of sensory and motor function, including pain, using machine-learning and advanced brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging. Dr. Weber aims to use these techniques to better understand the neuropathology of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions and discover more effective treatments and preventative strategies.

Ruolun Wei
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioRuolun Wei, MD, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. Dr. Wei’s work centers on neuro-oncology, with particular emphasis on brain tumor recurrence, treatment resistance, and tumor metabolism. He is also a board-certified neurosurgeon, currently focusing on full-time research. His research aims to bridge the gap between clinical practice and laboratory investigation, conducting translational research that moves from bedside to bench and back to bedside to improve therapeutic outcomes for patients with malignant brain tumors.

Tan Wei Ting
Affiliate, Neurosurgery
BioWei Ting graduated from University Malaya under the Department of Biomedical Engineering (Bachelor & Master's).Apart from multidisciplinary (tissue engineering, medical imaging, computational biology) research experience, she has worked in startups, industry, clinics, and medical centres with exposure to rehabilitation robotics, TCM in fertility, and clinical trials.
Her past undergraduate research experience includes
1. Dr Belinda Murphy’s Tissue Engineering Lab to assist in cell culturing and cytotoxicity testing
2. Asian Cardiac Laboratory under Dr Lim Einly for medical imaging-based investigation of flow energetics and vortex parameters in heart attack patients
For master's research, funded under Newton Advanced Fellowship in collaboration with Imperial College London’s Prof Xu group and UTM's Dr Mohd Jamil’s group.
1. Research focus: investigating the risk factor of distal stent induced new entry in aortic dissection patients using both simplified and patient-specific models.
2. Presented in local and international conference, published peer review studies and has reviewed paper relevant to the project.
With curiosity for knowledge, arts, philosophy, and the sciences, she often diving into new fields, moves across disciplines, and combines several areas of knowledge. She gained both lab-based and computational skills, for example: bioinformatics, pharmacokinetic modelling, cell staining, confocal microscopy, FRET cell transfection, live cell imaging, image processing, high-performance computing, quantum algorithms, etc. At MSU, she is part of the Tau Beta Pi National Honor Society and Cloud Computing Foundations (CCF) Program. For the cloud program, her interest is to apply hybrid computational quantum-classical framework for small molecule drug development.
Wei Ting has been active in learning more about different facets of medicine and often engages with researchers and physicians. She has gained familiarity with neurological disease (e.g. autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's) from different perspectives (e.g., rehabilitation robotics, brain simulation, and psychiatry). She is invited to join the Neurobehavior and Neuroscience Methods Workshop (SPrINT/Stanford) in 2026.
