Abrar Bhat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am investigating the biophysical mechanisms that govern the organization and function of adhesion GPCRs involved in the process of synapse formation. aGPCRs possess dual roles in cell adhesion and signaling. Despite their importance in processes like neuronal synapse formation and association with various neuropsychiatric disorders, the precise mechanisms governing their organization and function at the cell membrane remain enigmatic.

Jose Bolorinos
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioJose Bolorinos is a Postdoctoral scholar in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Jose received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Atmosphere & Energy) and an M.S. in Statistics at Stanford. Jose's research focuses on data-driven, systems-level strategies for coordinating urban water and energy supply infrastructure. As part of this work, he has investigated policy approaches that better understand and manage the lifecycle impacts of the energy sector on watersheds, air quality, and carbon emissions. Jose has also developed closed-loop customer monitoring and segmentation tools that allow water and electricity utilities to quickly track the responses of their customers to demand shocks inside and outside of their service areas. Currently, he is developing data-driven methods for optimal design and operation of energy storage in the wastewater treatment sector. His work has been featured at the California Data Collaborative, Stanford's Big Earth Water Hackathon, and AI for Climate Change Initiative.
Prior to coming to Stanford, Jose worked as a data scientist for a healthcare consultancy subcontracted by the federal government to manage its Medicare and Medicaid claims databases. Jose received a B.A. in Economics from UC Berkeley and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering and Science from Stanford University. He was part of the start up operations team at the Bill & Cloy Resource Recovery Center, an experimental, pilot-scale wastewater treatment facility launched recently on the Stanford campus to accelerate innovative approaches to wastewater treatment. -
Cyan Brown
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioCyan is a physician from Johannesburg, South Africa. She completed a master's in public health with a global health specialization through Kings College London. Her research focused on low-cost innovation in surgical care in low-and-middle-income countries. She is a lifelong Atlantic Institute fellow for health equity and services on the Atlantic Institute governing board. She is interested in global health innovation with a focus on creating more environmentally sustainable and equitable healthcare systems. She is currently a Biodesign Fellow at Stanford.
