Nigel Wilkinson-Maitland
Fellow in Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Affiliate, Dean's Office Operations - Dean OtherBioSalut! My name is Nigel. I was born and raised in Montréal, playing soccer, biking, and skiing the east coast mountains while completing undergrad at McGill University. The cycling became more serious when a couple friends and I set out across eastern Canada to raise relief funds for a local town that suffered a tragic train derailment. I headed south of the border to study medicine at Stony Brook University and completed Anesthesia residency at Mount Sinai in New York. When the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted elective surgeries and our lives, a few colleagues and I teamed up to convert consumer sleep apnea devices to accessible and scalable mechanical ventilation. After testing at Walter Reed, the blueprints were shared freely and put to use in several developing countries before being presented at the 2021 American Society of Anesthesiology conference. As a keen Stanford fellow, I look forward to the challenges of Pediatric Anesthesia training and west coast cycling.

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.
