Christopher Wallace Austelle
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioChristopher Wallace Austelle, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist and Clinical Assistant Professor investigating circuit-based treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. As a physician-scientist, he examines how neural circuits underlying emotion and cognition are dynamically coupled with the autonomic nervous system to shape interoception, and how disruptions in these integrated systems contribute to depression and anxiety.
With more than a decade of experience in neuromodulation, Dr. Austelle has worked across research and clinical settings using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), accelerated protocols such as Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), and implanted vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). His research integrates clinical trials, neuroimaging, and psychophysiology to develop targeted, physiology-informed interventions.
Clinically, he specializes in treatment-resistant depression and anxiety disorders, applying evidence-based neuromodulation strategies for individuals who have not responded to standard treatments. -
Naola Austin
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioNaola S. Austin M.D., is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System. She co-directs the Anesthesia Crisis Resource Management (ACRM) course and teaches a number of simulation courses as faculty with the Center for Immersive and Simulation-based Learning, OB SIM Team, InterCEPT Team, and VA Palo Alto. As a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) faculty, she teaches neuraxial, transthoracic, lung, gastric, FAST, and other ultrasound techniques. She is also a member of the Stanford Anesthesia Cognitive Aid Program (SACAP), a collaborative group who designs and updates the Stanford Emergency Manual.
She is originally from New Mexico and received her medical degree at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, NY. After completing residency training in Anesthesiology at the University of Washington, she went on to dual fellowship training in Obstetric Anesthesia and Healthcare Simulation.
In addition to her work as a Co-Primary Investigator with the Safety Learning Lab, she has published basic science articles on synapse biology, clinical reviews on cervical spine injury in trauma and burns, and Simulation and Communication in Obstetric care. She has received multiple honors including U.S.-E.U. Exchange Scholar Rogers’ Colloquium Speaker, Resident of the Year, Foundation for Anesthesia Education & Research Scholar, and Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.
Naola is an avid gardener, leisure cyclist, and very amateur rock climber. -
Arman Avesta
Affiliate, Rad/Pediatric Radiology
BioI'm a neuroradiologist and data scientist building AI tools for fetal and pediatric neuroimaging. I'm joining Stanford School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor of Radiology and a neuroradiologist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
My training includes:
* Harvard Medical School - Boston Children's Hospital: Fellowship - Pediatric Neuroradiology
* Harvard Medical School - Massachusetts General Hospital: Fellowship - Neuroradiology
* Yale University: PhD - Data Science & AI
* Yale School of Medicine - Yale New Haven Hospital: Residency - Diagnostic Radiology
* Harvard Medical School - Massachusetts General Hospital: Postdoc - Neuroscience
* Tehran University Medical School: MD
I am particularly interested in building AI tools that make fetal and pediatric brain MRI faster and more reliable. I am currently working on a system that tracks the moving fetal head in real time to steer the scanner and re-acquire motion-degraded slices, extending my doctoral work on deep-learning segmentation for brain structures and tumors.
Outside of work, I enjoy ballroom dance, calisthenics, hiking, and tennis. -
Jennifer Avise, MD
Member, Cardiovascular Institute
BioDr. Avise is a board-certified vascular surgeon specializing in cutting edge treatments of vascular disease. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Department Surgery, Division of Vascular Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
She has helped to expand access to expert vascular surgery in the East Bay, establishing Stanford Health Care’s first vascular surgery practices at the medical center in Emeryville and at the Stanford Health Care – ValleyCare hospital in Pleasanton. Dr. Avise serves as the medical director of the Pleasanton vascular laboratory, an IAC accredited facility, where she advances developments in noninvasive testing to aid in early diagnosis of vascular disease.
Her focus is on early detection and disease prevention, minimally invasive (endovascular) techniques, and complex open surgery. She treats a wide variety of conditions, including aortic aneurysm, limb salvage, varicose veins, peripheral vascular disease, carotid disease, complex wound care, and dialysis access.
