Olivier N. Bonin
Digital Media Specialist 3, Strategic Communications & External Affairs
BioBorn in the French Alps, I did a Master in Electrical and Micro-Electronic Engineering. I was an engineer in the Silicon Valley for 10 years developing semiconductor libraries of components for use on chips by many of the big names in the industry. After the last company I worked with was sold in parts, I left the industry to work on a full feature documentary about Burning Man. The film, Dust & Illusions, focused on a 30-year history that surprisingly nobody ever explored before. That lead me to develop video content for various companies, such as Whole Foods, Samsung, Stanford until I joined WildAid for a year producing videos to help stop the illegal wildlife trade (that potentially led to the covid-19 pandemic). Finally today I am the video and multimedia producer for SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory with the goal of bringing attention to the fundamental research in physics and biology that the Lab focuses on.

Timothy A. Bouley
Managing Director for Biological Solutions, Food, and Agriculture, Sustainability Accelerator
BioTimothy A. Bouley, MD, MSc, MA is Managing Director for Biological Solutions, Food, and Agriculture at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He is responsible for leading the strategy and implementation of life science-related ‘Flagship Destinations,’ accelerating Stanford research into scalable technology and policy solutions.
Dr. Bouley has spent more than 20 years working across biotechnology, agriculture, and finance. In 2020, he founded and served as CEO of BioFeyn, a life science company based at Harvard, translating biomedical innovation in nanoparticle and stability science to improve the financial, health, and environmental sustainability farmed Norwegian salmon. In recent years he has worked to develop and launch bioengineering innovations across sector: industrial biomanufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food, conservation, others.
From 2011 – 2018, Timothy was at the World Bank where he established several of the first ever programs in Planetary Health: serving as the originating author for the international framework on One Health, launching the new field of Climate-Smart Healthcare, and leading teams of academics, policy makers, and economists to establish foundational programming for global investment. Geographically, this work focused on Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, deploying technology-focused innovation and finance in environment, infectious disease, and agriculture.
He is an advisor to investment funds, international organizations, governments, industry, and start-ups. He has held fellowships with the US National Academy of Sciences, Rockefeller Foundation, University of Exeter, and University of Edinburgh. He holds degrees in biology, bioethics, geography, and medicine. -

Keith Bowen
Director, Learning Design Challenge, SAL Digital Learning
BioFor 20+ years, I have worked in the fields of international relief, development, and conflict resolution, building capacity in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, South Africa, Rwanda, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as well as educating students in the U.S., Europe, and other countries who aspire to work in these fields.
Academics & Film
I've worked as an academic and filmmaker, creating educational documentaries on liberation movements around the world, which I've then used with university students in my classrooms. I've had several programs distributed by the Discovery Channel, which has been rewarding, but what has been especially remarkable to me is the response of my students. I've come to appreciate the power of narrative and immediacy of film to transform students' perceptions of the world and their place in it.
Learning Design
Along with an emphasis on narrative and immediacy, I've designed interactive programs that draw students into learning through exploration and discovery - with a dynamically shifting experience based on student choice and response. I've also designed learning programs featuring advanced multiplayer simulations with both live and online interaction.
Scale
I've taken this work to scale. In my work for the U.S. Government and international humanitarian organizations, I've designed courses that have been completed by tens of thousands of students and practitioners, not only at the State Department, USAID, relief agencies, and universities in the U.S., but also at comparable institutions in other countries, and even in internet cafes and refugee camps around the world. I've earned about a dozen awards for these efforts and have delivered presentations on them for the Under Secretary of State, the Senate Appropriations Committee, representatives of the the 57 countries of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the 35 countries of the Organization for American States, and others.
Virtual Exchange & "Wicked" Global Problems
I am continuing this work at Stanford. My focus now is designing media and technology programs to bring university students in the U.S. and other high-income countries into extended contact with counterpart students in fragile states and zones of conflict to address complex problems that no single country can solve on its own. As students work collaboratively to address these "wicked" problems, we measure advances in learning and shifts in attitude through qualitative and quantitative methods.
I have also launched and serve as Director for the Stanford Learning Design Challenge, which supports students across campus who seek to leverage research in the learning sciences, methodologies in human-centered design, and breakthroughs in emerging technology to change what’s possible in teaching and learning. https://edtech.stanford.edu/
This is an extraordinary time for those who design media and technology solutions for teaching and learning. Blended in smart combinations, especially with traditional in-person learning, the new tools we have are powerful:
- Visual narrative, through its expression in digital cinema
- Expanding and interconnecting networks of lifelong learners
- Complex human interaction, including multiplayer games and simulations
- Complex machine interaction, including generative AI, dynamically responsive to user needs
- Statistical data analysis, upon which to base informed, iterative human-centered design
- Worldwide electronic distribution, especially to inexpensive mobile devices
If we do this right, the world will be much better for it. -

Nicholas Branigan
Casual - Non-Exempt, Psych/Major Laboratories and Clinical & Translational Neurosciences Incubator
BioMy research interests are at the intersection of neuroscience, statistics, and machine learning. In my current work, I develop and apply state-space models and drift-diffusion models to study large-scale brain networks with human fMRI and rodent fiber photometry.
