Madelena Ng
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Ethics
BioDr. Madelena Ng is a Postdoctoral Scholar and NHGRI T32 ELSI Research Fellow at the Laurie J. Girand Center for Biomedical Ethics (GCBE) at Stanford. Dr. Ng is an applied health scientist whose work evaluates the real-world impact of emerging technologies on people and society. Her research has consistently demonstrated that technological solutions alone are insufficient in addressing the shortcomings inherent in the biomedical research ecosystem.
Prior to Dr. Ng's appointment at GCBE, she was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford Division in Computation Medicine leading foundational work in AI ethics, governance, and responsible innovation. She aims to further her training in ELSI research at the intersection of generative biology, multisector research practices, and regulation. As generative AI continues to advance rapidly, she aims to embed ethics into the core of health AI development, operations, and decision-making. -
Kenneth Nieser
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery
BioKen Nieser is a postdoctoral research fellow through the Big Data-Scientist Training Enhancement Program (BD-STEP) at the Palo Alto VA and in the Department of Surgery, Stanford School of Medicine. Ken received a BA in Physics and Mathematics from Swarthmore College and a PhD in Epidemiology with a minor in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his PhD, Ken developed and applied statistical methods for improving algorithmic fairness of data analyses used to inform screening and treatment of mental illnesses. These projects included development of an approach for detecting sample subsets with differential psychological symptom patterns and a sample representation reweighting method for improving the precision of subgroup-specific treatment effect estimation.
Ken’s current research interests are in health care inequities, quality measurement, and algorithmic fairness. During his fellowship, Ken will be working on investigating the statistical reliability of quality measures and decomposing health care disparities to provide practical information for resolving inequities, with applications in mental health care and surgical care. -
Kopal Nihar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Catherine Gorle, Dr. Sarah Billington and Dr. Rishee Jain. I also did a PhD from Stanford advised by Dr Rishee Jain at Urban Informatics Lab. My research interest lies in understanding data-driven human-building interactions and impact of indoor air quality on occupant behaviour, especially for the purpose of natural cooling.

Mark Nikolic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioI study large scale processes of evolution through earth history using the fossil record. In doing so, I make use of computational and phylogenetic approaches along with large datasets. I also lead the History of Life and Biodiversity summer internship through the Stanford Young Investigators program. Aside from fossils, I'm also a big fan of riding my bike and disco music.

Marcus Nobrega Gomes Jr
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBy recreating high-resolution flood maps for the last 50 years in California, my research aims to cross-correlate flood hazard maps with medical records to investigate whether a causal relation exists.

Sitara Noor
Postdoctoral Scholar, Political Science
BioSitara Noor is a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at Stanford University, California. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science in July 2025 from University of Vienna. Her research interests include nuclear security, non-proliferation, and strategic stability, with a particular focus on South Asia. She was formerly a Managing the Atom Fellow at Belfer Center from 2022 to 2024. In 2023, she was a Fellow at the NATO Defense College in Rome. She also held the position of Research Fellow at VCDNP in Vienna, Austria, during 2016-2017. Earlier in her career, she worked as an International Relations Analyst at Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority.
In addition to her research roles, Noor has taught as a lecturer at several institutions, including the National University of Modern Languages, the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Quaid-i-Azam University, the Foreign Services Academy of Pakistan, and the Information Services Academy of Pakistan.
Noor was a member of the International Panel of Experts for the Nuclear Security Index 2023, published by the Nuclear Threat Initiative. She has also been a South Asian Voices Visiting Fellow at the Stimson Center (2019–2020), a Visiting Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories (2019 and 2013), and at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California (2013).
From 2012 to 2020, she served as Country Coordinator for the University of Gothenburg's "Variety of Democracy" project. Noor frequently contributes to national and international platforms, including Foreign Policy, Al Jazeera, The News, The National Interest, The Diplomat, and South Asian Voices at the Stimson Center, writing extensively on nuclear security and related topics. -

Cliona O Doherty
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioClíona is a postdoc with Cameron Ellis’ Scaffolding of Cognition Team and Dan Yamin’s NeuroAILab. She earned her PhD from Trinity College Dublin, where she worked on developing cognitive computational methods for infant neuroimaging with Prof. Rhodri Cusack. Her bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience was also completed at Trinity College Dublin. Clíona is interested in how human infants learn to be so intelligent with such efficiency, how this can be modelled using the latest advances in AI, and how these methods can inform our understanding of the developing mind.

Connor Galen O'Brien
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. O'Brien is a native of Menlo Park, CA. He attended medical school at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. At Columbia he was elected to both Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honors Societies. He completed an Internal Medicine residency as well as fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University. In his third year of fellowship, he was selected Chief Cardiology Fellow.
He is currently a post-doctoral fellow performing regenerative medicine research, specifically studying the role of exosomes in treating cardiomyopathy. In addition to his basic science research, he is also involved in human clinical trials investigating the role of stem cells in treating various forms of cardiomyopathy.
