Researcher

Ehsan Adeli

Also known as Ehsan Adeli Mosabbeb

Ehsan Adeli is a computer scientist whose AI research connects computer vision with medicine and neuroscience. His training includes computer vision and medical imaging, and he coauthored research on distributed-camera activity recognition, Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and video-based Parkinson’s gait assessment. At Stanford, his work linked video and MRI analysis to neurodegenerative disease research and examined fatigue during cognitive training. As of October 2026, he is an assistant professor at Stanford and director of its Translational AI Lab, co-directs an NIH P30 research center, and chairs MICCAI 2026’s program committee.

Timeline

  1. 2012–2017

    Graduate work and camera recognition

    His training includes a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence and computer vision; at Carnegie Mellon, he works as a graduate research scholar in computer vision in 2012. In 2013, under the name Ehsan Adeli Mosabbeb, he coauthors a paper on multi-view activity recognition across distributed camera networks. In 2017, he works as a postdoctoral research associate in machine learning and medical imaging at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

  2. 2018

    An end-to-end Alzheimer’s model

    In 2018, he coauthors an end-to-end deep-learning model for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and biomarker identification using 3D convolutional neural networks.

  3. 2018

    A MICCAI travel award

    He receives the MICCAI Young Investigator Travel Award in 2018.

  4. 2020

    Video estimates Parkinson’s gait

    In 2020, he coauthors a computer-vision model that extracts 3D body skeletons from video and classifies movement by MDS-UPDRS gait score to assess Parkinson’s disease severity.

  5. 2020–2021

    Clinical assistant professor at Stanford

    From 2020 to 2021, he is a clinical assistant professor in Stanford’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, affiliated with its Computational Neuroscience Lab and Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. His project links video-based digital biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease to neural systems measured with MRI.

  6. 2024

    Monitoring fatigue during cognitive training

    In 2024, he coauthors a study that develops a Recurrent Video Transformer to monitor mental fatigue in older adults with mild cognitive impairment during computerized cognitive training. The model uses video-recorded facial gestures.

  7. As of October 2026

    Director of Stanford Translational AI

    As of October 2026, he is an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, with courtesy appointments in computer science and biomedical data science. He directs the Stanford Translational AI Lab and is principal investigator and co-director of the NIH P30 Stanford University AI & Technology Collaboratory. He serves as a program chair for MICCAI 2026.

From the biography.

  1. 20% of people at companies who shape AI also hold a university role, led by Google and Stanford UniversityIncludes Stanford University. We estimate that 539 of the 6,766 people with a known current organization (8%) hold both a university role and a company role, including 20% of people at companies and 13% of people at universities.
  2. Google had the most people shaping AI every year from 2014 to 2025Includes Stanford University. Our estimates of which organizations employed the most people shaping AI each year from 1955 to 2025, tracing the shift from university labs to companies.
  3. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes Stanford University. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
  4. The company share of AI researchers’ top papers was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974Includes Stanford University. We estimate where the people shaping AI worked when their most-cited papers appeared: the company share was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974, and Google led all organizations in 2020–2024.
