Spyros Karadimas, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery
BioDr. Spyridon Karadimas is a board-certified, fellowship-trained cerebrovascular neurosurgeon and physician-scientist with Stanford Health Care. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Karadimas offers advanced, personalized treatment for complex vascular disorders of the brain, neck, and spine in both adults and children. His expertise spans brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, Moyamoya disease, stroke, and carotid artery disease. Dr. Karadimas is a rare combination of surgeon, scientist, and innovator dedicated to advancing patient care and shaping the future of cerebrovascular neurosurgery.
Dr. Karadimas directs a basic and translational research program focused on the neural circuits of motor control and stroke recovery. His laboratory integrates systems neuroscience, in vivo imaging, electrophysiology, and brain-computer interface development to uncover the principles of neuroplasticity, or how the brain adapts to change. This knowledge allows him to create new ways to help people move again after a brain injury.
Dr. Karadimas has published his research as first author in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, Nature Neuroscience and Science Translational Medicine. His work has received editorial highlight at Nature Reviews Neuroscience. He has presented to his peers at international, national, and regional meetings, including those of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery, American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, and World Federation of Skull Base Societies.
Dr. Karadimas is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada and American Association of Neurological Surgeons as well as member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and the North American Skull Base Society. -

Murat Karakum
Affiliate, Graduate School of Business - Executive Education
BioMurat Karakum leads the engineering organization at Treaty Oak Clean Energy, where he oversees the systems, standards, and technical frameworks that support a multigigawatt portfolio of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects across the United States. His work focuses on building scalable engineering processes, cost and risk controls, and execution models that enable consistent project delivery from early-stage development through construction.
As one of Treaty Oak’s earliest employees, he built the engineering function from the ground up and established the workflows and execution models that now support the company’s 20 GW development pipeline and its transition into an independent power producer. His responsibilities span portfolio-level execution planning, integration across development, transmission, procurement, and construction, and the creation of repeatable systems that support long-term organizational scale.
His executive education includes the Stanford Executive Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business, which informs his approach to organizational design, systems thinking, and enterprise leadership at scale during periods of rapid growth.
He previously held engineering and leadership roles at SunPower and Kier and Wright, delivering utility-scale energy and infrastructure projects across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. He draws on a multidisciplinary background in civil, structural, electrical, hydrology, and geotechnical engineering to develop integrated designs, standards, and execution frameworks across complex portfolios.
Shaped by his experience at Stanford Graduate School of Business, his work centers on designing engineering systems and organizational capabilities that combine technical rigor with disciplined execution to support the reliable, large-scale deployment of clean energy infrastructure. -
