Tyler J. Ward

Tyler (B.S. ’19, University of California, Santa Cruz) is a Research Coordinator in the Memory Lab. His undergraduate studies focused on modeling high-level cognitive systems and biopsychosocial data science. He was a Research Associate for U.C. Berkeley under Dr. Susan Landau working on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and U.S. POINTER Imaging, developing expertise in quantifying amyloid and tau PET imaging. He then transitioned to clinical work for a year, treating patients under the supervision of psychiatrists with transcranial magnetic stimulation and monitoring ketamine therapy sessions for treatment-resistant depression. His goal in joining the Stanford Memory Lab is to study psychometrics and further his education in Alzheimer’s disease and the administrative side of research.
