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. -
Bernardo Bonilauri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute
BioI am a highly motivated and devoted scientist, deeply committed to advancing our understanding of the molecular foundations of cardiovascular disease while spearheading innovative therapeutic approaches and drug discovery. As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, under the guidance of Dr. Joseph C. Wu, I am privileged to contribute to cutting-edge research. My work spans various disciplines, including multi-omics, molecular and cellular biology, tissue engineering, biochemistry, structural biology, and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. This holistic approach and sharp critical thinking equips me to untangle the complexities of cardiac diseases and innovate novel therapeutic strategies, particularly for rare cardiac conditions such as Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis.

Jonathan Branfman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Taube Center for Jewish Studies
BioProfessional website and CV: https://www.jonathanbranfman.com/
Jonathan Branfman researches race, masculinity, and Jewish identity in popular media. His work invites Jewish, feminist, queer, critical race, and media studies to grasp how historical anti-Semitism shapes present-day U.S. visual culture, and how Jewish stars harness this stigma to enter America's core cultural debates.
First book: "Millennial Jewish Stardom: Masculinity, Race, & Queer Glamor." Forthcoming in 2024 with New York University Press.
Upcoming book projects:
"Jews & News Satire: Embodying Candor in the Age of Fake News"
"Passing Fancies: Chimeric Liberation in U.S. Passing Films"
Articles: Jonathan's research has appeared in Television & New Media, the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, the Journal of Homosexuality, and Frontiers, among others. For instance, to advance intersectional feminist theories of antisemitism, he has analyzed "Jewish-Progressive Conflict" in Frontiers (https://bit.ly/3N3LML0).
Educational publications: To share feminist and queer education beyond academia, Jonathan has likewise published an intersectional LGBTQ children's book, "You Be You! The Kid's Guide to Gender, Sexuality & Family" (https://bit.ly/3wWhljZ). This guide is now translated into 25 languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and Yiddish.
Courses: "Passing: Hidden Identities Onscreen" (Fall 22)
