Hilary Thorsen
Resource Sharing Librarian, University Libraries
BioI am currently Resource Sharing Libarian in Access Services at Green Library and manage interlibrary loan for Stanford and non-Stanford affiliates, BorrowDirect, and scan-to-PDF services. Formerly, I was Wikimedian-in-Residence as part of the Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project focusing on Wikidata. Prior to that, I served as Metadata Librarian for Humanities in Stanford Libraries.

Stefan Thottunkal
Temporary Employee, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioStefan Thottunkal is a physician in training, Stanford researcher, and policymaker whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, precision medicine, translational science, and public health innovation. He completed the M.S. in Community Health and Prevention Research at Stanford University as an IIE Quad Fellow, one of the world’s most selective international research fellowships, where his thesis centered on computational pharmacogenomics and the use of data-driven LLM methods to advance precision prescribing.
His research focuses on translating innovation into clinically meaningful and implementation-ready health solutions, with particular interests in pharmacogenomics, chronic disease, and AI-enabled decision support. He is especially interested in how machine learning and large language models can be used not simply as technical advances, but as robust clinical tools that improve prescribing, strengthen care delivery, and incorporate human centered design principles to effectively integrate precision medicine in routine clinical practice.
At Stanford, he contributes to the Han Lab’s research on advancing precision oncology in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, while helping lead NOURISH, a pioneering Stanford Medicine initiative reimagining cardiometabolic care through culturally tailored nutrition science, behavioral insight, and digital innovation. NOURISH advances a model of lifestyle medicine that preserves cultural relevance while applying rigorous scientific methods to improve metabolic health. By integrating culinary medicine with emerging technologies, the initiative is exploring how AI-enabled tools, personalized digital education, and interactive nutrition support systems can make evidence-based dietary guidance more adaptive, engaging, and scalable across diverse populations. His work in this space reflects a broader interest in how technology can help transform nutrition care from generic advice into a more personalized, culturally tailored, and behaviorally attuned form of preventive medicine.
In parallel with his research career, Stefan brings close to half a decade of experience advising the Australian Federal Government on major health and social policy initiatives. His international experience also includes mentoring hackathon teams in India and medical device development in Nigeria, where he contributed to dialysis device innovation and clinical trials design in resource-constrained settings. Together, these experiences reflect his broader commitment to advancing equitable, evidence-based, and culturally tailored global health innovation. -
Alex Threlkeld
Mathematics, Statistics & Computational Sciences Librarian, Science Library
BioI select print and electronic materials and manage Stanford's subscriptions in my subject areas, I am the liaison between Stanford University Libraries and the Mathematics and Statistics Departments, and I teach Carpentries (and Carpentries-style) workshops on Python, R, and LaTeX. I received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Rice University, with research in knot and link concordance, satellite constructions, and 4-dimensional manifolds, particularly in the topological setting. Before coming to Stanford, I also worked as the Mathematics Collection Development assistant at Rice's Fondren Library.
