Hakeem Jefferson
Assistant Professor of Political Science
BioI am an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University where I am also a faculty affiliate with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity and the Stanford Center for American Democracy. I received my PhD in political science from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and African American Studies from the University of South Carolina.
My research focuses primarily on the role identity plays in structuring political attitudes and behaviors in the U.S. I am especially interested in understanding how stigma shapes the politics of Black Americans, particularly as it relates to group members’ support for racialized punitive social policies. In other research projects, I examine the psychological and social roots of the racial divide in Americans’ reactions to officer-involved shootings and work to evaluate the meaningfulness of key political concepts, like ideological identification, among Black Americans.
My dissertation, "Policing Norms: Punishment and the Politics of Respectability Among Black Americans," was a co-winner of the 2020 Best Dissertation Award from the Political Psychology Section of the American Political Science Association. -

Jorgen Arendt Jensen
Visiting Professor, Radiology - Rad/Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioI am a professor of Biomedical Signal Processing at the Department of Health Technology (DTU Health), Technical University of Denmark (www.dtu.dk). My main interests are the application of digital signal processing to medical ultrasound, especially synthetic aperture imaging, vector flow imaging, super-resolution, GPU-based beamforming and implementation, and ultrasound simulation.
I received the M.Sc. in electrical engineering in 1985, the Ph.D. in 1989 for work on deconvolution, and the Dr. Techn. degree in 1996 for my work on blood velocity estimation in the book: "Estimation of Blood Velocities Using Ultrasound, A Signal Processing Approach", which was published by Cambridge University Press in 1996. I have been a full professor at DTU since 1993, and I have been a visiting scientist at Duke University, North Carolina, Stanford University, California, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, all in the US. I became an IEEE Fellow in 2012.
I have founded and headed the Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging (www.cfu.dtu.dk) since 1998. Currently, I am a visiting Professor in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, CA, USA, courtesy of Professors Katherine Ferrara and Jeremy Dahl, until August 2026. I will be working here on our super-resolution method, SURE, using the Stanford large-element arrays for the acquisition of clinical data. I am also writing a book on advanced ultrasound imaging, drawing on my 40 years in the field.

Hilary Jericho
Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatrics - Gastroenterology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a clinical associate professor of pediatric gastroenterology and the Inaugural Medical Director of the Celiac Disease Program at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford whose clinical practice and research have an emphasis on the diagnosis and management of celiac disease. I was appointed the Director of Pediatric Clinical Research at the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center in 2014. I am deeply involved in both local community and national professional societies serving as the Director of the Chicagoland Children’s Health Alliance (CCHA) endoscopy committee and am a member of the CCHA celiac committee, the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) celiac special interest group, CeliacKids (a pediatric multi-center celiac research focused collaborative), the Standards-Based Active Guideline Environment (a committee responsible for the establishment of guidelines for accommodating children with celiac disease within school settings across the United States), and the NASPGHAN Endoscopy committee. My clinical work and research focus on pediatric celiac disease (CeD) and have resulted in numerous publications, peer-reviewed articles, and book chapters. This research has also helped to establish myself as an expert in the field of pediatric celiac disease leading to invitations to speak and be a moderator at both local and national meetings, including the internationally attended University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center educational preceptorship programs, the NASPGHAN annual meeting and Beyond Celiac. I have additionally been called up to provide celiac specific journal reviews as well as expert opinions to leading publications, including US News and World Report, Reader’s Digest and Reuter’s. The current application builds logically on my prior work in the field of pediatric celiac disease for which I have successfully administered the projects (staffing, research coordination, budgeting, data analysis and manuscript creation). In summary, I have the expertise, leadership, training, and motivation necessary to successfully carry out the proposed research projects.

Rathinaraja Jeyaraj
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI work at the intersection of AI, multimodal learning, and large-scale image analytics, with a strong focus on computational pathology and foundation models for healthcare. My current research interests include LLMs, VLMs, multimodal reasoning, whole-slide image analysis, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and trustworthy AI for medical decision support.
I develop scalable deep learning systems spanning WSI preprocessing, multiple instance learning, segmentation, survival prediction, and multimodal image-text modeling. My work also involves attention interpretability, contrastive learning, pathology foundation model adaptation, and large-scale AI pipelines. Beyond healthcare AI, I have experience in time-series forecasting, distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, and real-time computer vision systems for industrial and smart-city applications.
I am particularly interested in building reliable, interpretable, and clinically meaningful AI systems that bridge computer vision, multimodal learning, and large-scale reasoning. -
