Kevin Wilkins
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioKevin obtained a PhD in Neuroscience from Northwestern University while working in the Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences Department and a BS/BA in Psychology and English from Boston College. His dissertation research focused on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying upper extremity impairments in individuals with chronic stroke and subsequent motor improvements following novel interventions. His postdoctoral work at Stanford with Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart focuses on the neural features associated with different symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease using a combination of structural imaging, neurophysiology, and kinematic analysis. He was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship for Basic Scientists from the Parkinson's Foundation to investigate the cognitive correlates of gait impairment in Parkinson's disease.

Sierra Hewett Willens
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Informatics & Data-Driven Medicine / Women's Health - Sexual & Gender Minority Health, expected graduation Spring 2025
BioSierra Willens is a medical student at Stanford interested in the intersection of healthcare and technology. For the past several years, Sierra has worked on numerous artificial intelligence projects designed to combat socioeconomic and geographic barriers to medicine through innovative healthcare technology. In 2018, she worked with an international team to diagnose retinal diseases through convolutional neural networks with subsequent efforts gauged at integrating this technology with iPhone ophthalmoscope attachments, bringing healthcare into the hands of our patients. Now, at Stanford, she has spearheaded a research project under the mentorship of Dr. Katherine Bianco which is designed to detect preterm birth in high-risk pregnancies and eventually merge this technology with platforms like IButterfly to further mobilize access to care to our most vulnerable population, preterm infants. In addition to her research pursuits, Sierra is co-founder of Stanford's new MEDX student initiation: a coalition between Biodesign and Stanford School of Medicine, designed to train future generations of physicians and physician associates how to become critical, impactful collaborators in the sector of health care innovation.
