Mridul Joshi
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2022
Master of Arts Student in Economics, admitted Spring 2026
Ph.D. Minor, PsychologyBioMy research primarily focuses on the economics of education and education policy in low-income countries, applying insights from psychology. Recently, I have been dabbling in machine learning and natural language processing and its applications to education research. I have previously worked at the Development Innovation Lab (UChicago), J-PAL and the OECD. Visit my personal website for more information.

Neha Shirish Joshi, MD MS
Instructor, Pediatrics
BioNeha S Joshi, MD MS is an Instructor in the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Stanford University. Her clinical responsibilities include caring for hospitalized children at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford as a board certified Pediatric Hospitalist, and neonatal resuscitation and the care of level I/II late preterm and term newborns as a Neonatal Hospitalist. Dr. Joshi completed her MD with Distinction at the University of California San Francisco, followed by both residency in Pediatrics and fellowship in Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Stanford University. Dr. Joshi additionally completed a Masters in Clinical Research and Epidemiology at Stanford University. Her research program seeks to identify and implement high value care practices for late preterm and term infants during the birth hospitalization. Dr. Joshi's prior work has included the development of a clinical examination-based approach to identifying late preterm and term infants at risk for early onset sepsis; this work won the Jennifer Daru Memorial Award for manuscript with most potential to impact clinical care. Her current focus is the development of clinical benchmarks and quality markers for the care of late preterm infants during the birth hospitalization. Dr Joshi is presently supported by a NIH K23 Career Development Award, the Stanford Maternal and Child Health Research Institute, and the Society for Pediatric Research.

Shaunak Joshi
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI am Shaunak, from India. I am starting my PhD in Energy Science and Engineering with Prof. Daniel Tartakovsky and Prof. Hamdi Tchelepi. My research will primarily focus on pore-scale modeling of lithium-based batteries.
Prior to this, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay with a Bachelor's and a Master's in Energy Science and Engineering. I love to play all sorts of sports, especially football, badminton, and cricket. You would usually see me running around the campus on odd days. Hit me up if you want to have a chat! -
Siddhartha Joshi, PhD
Senior Research Scientist, Neurosurgery
BioI am a neuroscientist with over 20 years of experience in empirical, hypothesis-driven research. My knowledge and expertise cover a wide range of topics and methods within systems neuroscience including sensory perception, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, eye-movements and pupillometry. My research is focused on how the brain represents and uses sensory information to drive goal-directed behaviors and in exploring how intrinsic neuromodulatory systems influence the neural circuits that drive such behaviors. At Stanford, I am looking to channel my experience towards studying human neural signals that underlie computations governing pain and attention.
My work thus far [1-4] supports the idea that there is a need for simultaneous measurements of behavior, brain state and large-scale cortical activity to understand how the brain’s circuits: (i) are modulated by ascending sympathetic activation and (ii) provide top-down control of descending sympathetic control. These are technically challenging experiments [3,4] that have thus far largely been explored in animal models. My current goal is to leverage opportunities to directly measure human brain activity via electrodes implanted for monitoring epilepsy. Towards this end, I will use state-of-the-art neurophysiological, behavioral, pupillometric techniques combined with quantitative analyses.
