Ari Jamshidi serves as a Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley's College of Engineering. His primary affiliations include: CalTeach program: Coordinating the Summer Research Institute (a Research Experience for Teachers initiative) that connects undergraduate STEM students and in-service teachers with engineering research Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE): Developing NGSS-aligned science curriculum and teacher professional development OpenSciEd initiative: Creating equitable storylines for middle school science education nationwide His professional expertise bridges two distinct domains: Science Education: Specializing in NGSS implementation, project-based curriculum design, performance-based assessments, and teacher training through partnerships like San Francisco Unified School District Healthcare Data Science: Focusing on genomic assay validation (21-gene Recurrence Score, DCIS Score), breast cancer recurrence modeling, and healthcare decision support systems Publication analysis (2015-2021) reveals concentrated work in breast cancer genomics, particularly clinical validation of genomic predictors for recurrence risk and treatment response. Recent work shifts toward healthcare data infrastructure, with his 2021 publication introducing a novel analytics framework for medical decision-making. At Berkeley, Jamshidi leads the CalTeach Summer Research Institute that translates engineering research into K-12 classroom experiences. His Stanford SCALE collaboration extends this translational approach to national science education standards through OpenSciEd's teacher resources.
