I am a Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, of Pediatrics, and of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University. Our laboratory develops machine learning and artificial intelligence methods to study clinical and biological modalities in translational settings.  I primarily focus on leveraging multiomics studies, wearable devices, and electronic health records to address global health challenges. Prior to my role as a faculty member, I studied for my B.Sc. in computer science from University of Tehran, followed by a PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of British Columbia and a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford.

I am an alumni of the Graduate School of Business’s Ignite program, a Biodesign Faculty Fellow, and a SPARK fellow. I also regularly serve on the scientific advisory boards of a wide range of companies, and play with a stealth-mode startup or two. I strongly encourage (and fund) my trainees to take advantage of Stanford’s unique entrepreneurship training programs. I believe the next generation of successful academic life scientists will be both multidisciplinary and entrepreneurial.

I am a pilot (for small/acrobatic aircraft) and a wingsuiter. I also regularly play the piano. My other interests include swimming, mountain climbing, chess, Starcraft, target shooting, modern art, and Mandarin Chinese.
