Bio


Mateus A. Esmeraldo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, currently working under the mentorship of Dr. Bruno P. Soares. His current research focuses on pediatric neuroradiology and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance diagnostic and healthcare delivery in neuropediatric populations, with a particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging.

Originally from Brazil, Mateus earned his medical degree Magna cum Laude from the University of Ceará - Sobral. He completed his residency in Radiology at the University of São Paulo, where he was awarded the Guerbet-InRad Best Resident Award and received the CBR/ESOR Europe Scholarship for complementary training in Neuroradiology at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, University of Cambridge, during his final year.

Following his residency, Mateus served as a Radiologist in the Ultrasound Section of the Institute of Radiology (InRad) at the University of São Paulo. In this role, he was engaged in clinical and research activities involving Doppler ultrasound and transcranial ultrasound in adult patients. His work was closely aligned with innovation-driven projects in neuroimaging and artificial intelligence, and he also participated in academic and teaching initiatives for medical students and residents.
