David Au

David Au (he/him) is a postdoctoral scholar in Stephen Baccus’ lab in the Department of Neurobiology. His research focuses on understanding 1) how multiplexed photoreceptor systems contribute to complex visual processes of the early visual system of mammals, and 2) the effects of sleep on the visual neural code. These ideas take advantage of sophisticated computational models that David will generate from his experiments measuring… Continue reading »

Ixel Hernandez-Castro

Ixel is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health in the School of Medicine in Dr. Andres Cardenas’ lab. Her research has broadly focused on investigating the impact of exposures to chemical mixtures during the pre/postnatal period on maternal and infant health. She is particularly interested in understanding the co-occurring effects of pre/postnatal chemical and psychosocial stressors on fetal development, along… Continue reading »

Aoon Rizvi

Aoon (On) Rizvi (he/him) completed his PhD in chemistry at the University of California, Irvine where he studied how polymers self-assembly on the nanoscale using advanced microscopy methods. Aoon’s time at UC Irvine inspired him to use his expertise to study biological systems. At Stanford, Dr. Rizvi is studying how DNA is organized within human cells on the nanoscale. Beyond research, Aoon is passionate about… Continue reading »
