Teddy J. Akiki, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Akiki's research focuses on advancing precision psychiatry through computational neuroscience approaches. His work centers on developing transformer-based foundation models for functional neuroimaging that can predict treatment responses and symptom trajectories in psychiatric disorders. Using multimodal connectomics (combining structural, functional, and diffusion MRI), he maps neural circuits underlying stress-related conditions, with particular emphasis on identifying dysconnectivity patterns in PTSD and depression. Dr. Akiki develops novel analytical methods for neuroimaging data, including network-restricted metrics and community detection frameworks optimized for functional time series. His translational work includes neuroimaging-augmented clinical trials of novel therapeutics for treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders, with the goal of implementing data-driven, personalized interventions based on individual neurobiological profiles.

Asrar Alam
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials
Affiliate, Program-Salleo, A.BioI am a dynamic and internationally experienced individual with over 7 years of diverse research experience in electronics & communication, printed electronics and nanoscience and technology.
I graduated with a PhD degree at Department of Flexible and Printable Electronics, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju, Republic of Korea. During my PhD I worked for the development of of Electrode Materials for Supercapacitor, sensor and Electrochromic Devices".
Specialized in various nanomaterials synthesis techniques such as hydrothermal, room temperature synthesis, solvothermal, electrodeposition and ultrasonication. Furthermore, have extensive hands-on experience on operation of XRD, FESEM and electrochemical workstation.
My skill set extends beyond the laboratory, encompassing adeptness in strategic planning, impactful presentations and scientific writing.
Presently, I contribute my expertise as an industrial postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Mycronic, Sweden.
My job is to focus microfabrication technology utilizing AJA evaporator, MLA-150, photolithography and reactive ion etching. Currently, I fabricated my electrochemical transistor with 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 micrometer channel length. I am also enjoying the facilities provided by Stanford University for neuromorphic characterizations.
I am eagerly seeking fresh opportunities within the realms of R&D and academia.

Fernando Alarid-Escudero
Assistant Professor of Health Policy
BioFernando Alarid-Escudero, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a decision scientist specializing in disease simulation, decision-analytic modeling, and cost-effectiveness analysis to inform health policy questions that cannot be readily answered through clinical studies alone. He has also developed novel methods to quantify the value of future research and calibrate simulation models using emulator-based Bayesian methods. Dr. Alarid-Escudero is a member of three cancers (colorectal [CRC], bladder, and gastric) of the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) consortium, a group of investigators sponsored by the National Cancer Institute in the U.S. that uses simulation modeling to evaluate the impact of cancer control interventions (e.g., prevention, screening, and treatment) on population trends in incidence and mortality. Dr. Alarid-Escudero co-founded the Decision Analysis in R for Technologies in Health (DARTH) workgroup (http://darthworkgroup.com) and the Collaborative Network on Value of Information (ConVOI; https://www.convoi-group.org), international and multi-institutional collaborative efforts that develop transparent and open-source solutions to implement decision analysis and quantify the value of potential future investigation for health policy analysis.

Gregory W. Albers, MD
Coyote Foundation Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur groupÂ’'s research focus is the acute treatment and prevention of cerebrovascular disorders. Our primary interest is the use of advanced imaging techniques to expand the treatment window for ischemic stroke. We are also conducting clinical studies of both neuroprotective and thrombolytic strategies for the treatment of acute stroke and investigating new antithrombotic strategies for stroke prevention.
