F. Vankee Lin, PhD, RN, Lead PI
Professor, Stanford University
Dr. Lin is a leader in research on brain aging and dementia. Her career is dedicated to understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms of cognitive impairment and designing non-pharmacological interventions to target those mechanisms to delay or prevent cognitive decline, particularly in individuals at risk for mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.

Ehsan Adeli, PhD
Assistant Professor, Stanford University
Dr. Adeli is affiliated with the Computational Neuroscience (CNS) Lab, Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), Stanford Vision and Learning (SVL) lab, and the Partnership in AI-Assisted Care (PAC). He is also an investigator in the Stanford Trustworthy AI group and the SAIL-Toyota Center For AI Research. He works at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, computational neuroscience, healthcare, and medical image analysis.

Adam Turnbull, PhD
Instructor, Stanford University
Dr. Turnbull is a senior scientist in the CogT lab with expertise in cognitive and brain aging, and neuroimaging and experience sampling methods. He is interested in improving non-pharmacological interventions by measuring and understanding participant states while they engage in interventions. The goal of his research is to develop personalized, adaptive, scalable behavioral interventions that can reach those most at risk for dementia, including those from lower socioeconomic or racial/ethnic minority backgrounds.

Niyatee Samudra, MD
Dr. Samudra is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. She provides care for patients with memory disorders and epilepsy. She is interested in team science based approaches to design and implement innovations to improve patients’ and care partners’ lives. Her long-term research interest is in developing clinical trials to slow the progression of or target cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms in human neurodegenerative disease.
