Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Bio For over a decade my research career as a systems neuroscientist has been centered around measuring the brain in different states of consciousness using electrophysiology. Two ways to study conscious transitions empirically are by investigating the brain during sleep and while under anesthesia. I spent my doctoral and early postdoctoral work studying how sleep improves learning and memory at the neural network level. I characterized a phenomenon known as replay (when networks in the brain rehearse previous experiences offline) in a novel visual area. I continued research on replay in my early postdoctoral work in the hippocampus (an area important for spatial navigation as well as memory formation). My work centered around trying to understand how different hippocampal replay trajectories are selected by reward centers in the brain for future behavioral action.
I am now interested in studying the brain activity associated with anesthetics to broaden my understanding of brain states that exhibit altered consciousness. In fact, the brain shares similar electrophysiological activity during sleep with some anesthetic transitions. With anesthetics, though one is able to compare how different anesthetic agents interact with different neuromodulatory systems to cause similar behavior outcomes (i.e. sedation and unconsciousness). My current project is to explore and evaluate different computational approaches to quantifying anesthetic depth using electroencephalography. A thorough characterization of the brain activity associated with loss of consciousness during anesthesia is of critical importance to better monitor patients undergoing anesthesia. I am excited by this new opportunity to meld my previous expertise in systems neuroscience electrophysiology with clinical and translational work. It has been a long-term aspiration of mine to do research that will have direct applications to improving human health. -

Charles Lee Powell Foundation Professor in the School of Engineering
Bio Eaton uses experiments and computational simulations to study the flow and heat transfer in complex turbulent flows, especially those relevant to turbomachinery, particle-laden flows, and separated flows, and to develop new techniques for precise control of gas and surface temperature during manufacturing processes.

Amanda Edmonson, PA-C
Affiliate, Cardiothoracic Surgery
Bio Amanda Edmonson, PA-C is an advanced practice provider who specializes in Cardiothoracic Surgery. She received a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, CA and received her undergraduate degree from the University of Nevada in Reno, NV prior to that. Since joining our team in 2016, she has worked in the outpatient/clinic setting and in the operating room. In the clinic setting she conducts history and physical exams, orders and interprets pre-operative labs and studies, and coordinates both inpatient and outpatient care. Her expertise in the operating room includes assisting with open and minimally invasive cardiac surgeries including valve repairs/replacements, coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic surgery including aortic root replacement, valve-sparing aortic root replacements, arch replacements and aortic dissections, adult-congenital operations, redo surgery, heart and lung transplants, VADs and ECMO. She is proficient in open and endoscopic vein harvesting as well as endoscopic radial artery harvesting. Amanda also participates in training new PAs and NPs, APP fellows, residents, medical students and Stanford Bio Engineering students.
