Reza’s passion lies at the intersection of neuropsychiatry, technology, and education. He is most interested in bringing significant and measurable improvement to screening, diagnosis, and treatment of neuropsychiatric illness through advancement of technology and empowerment through collaboration. To that end, when he is not practicing neuropsychiatry, he is chief medical officer for NeuroLex Laboratories where his research and development work focuses on the exciting new field of voice diagnostics – using a brief recording of voice to screen, diagnose, and track a wide range of illnesses in an ultra-rapid, cost-effective, accurate, and accessible way. He draws on his previous experience as an engineer - developing imaging technology at Massachusetts General Hospital and an electronic health record for VecnaCares. He is also a founding partner of Stanford Brainstorm, the first behavioral health innovation, and entrepreneurship laboratory. He holds a BS in electrical and computer engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, an MSE in biomedical and electrical engineering from Johns Hopkins University, and an MD from University of Massachusetts Medical School, and is now completing psychiatry residency at the University of Washington.
