Pablo E. Paredes Castro joined the Department of Computer Science in August 2022 as an assistant professor.

He is currently an assistant professor at the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department, and by courtesy at the Epidemiology and Population Health Department at Stanford University School of Medicine.

His research focuses on subtle interventions to reduce stress, such as guiding people to breathe slowly with subtle haptic cues from office or car furniture, and passive sensing of affective and physiological biomarkers derived from existing devices (such as computers, phones, etc.).

Over the next year, Paredes plans to launch a startup on digital well-being products, which is a spin-off of his current lab.

Paredes earned his doctoral degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2015.
