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, medicine, food systems, and the environment. 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 health and sustainability of farmed Norwegian salmon and animal agriculture. In recent years he has also worked to develop and support biological innovations in eDNA and genomics, oral vaccines, tissue engineering, and others with a particular focus on applied benefit for environmental sustainability.
From 2011 – 2018, Timothy was at the World Bank where he established several of the first international programs in Planetary Health: founding the World Bank program on Climate Change and Health; launching the new field of Climate-Smart Healthcare; and serving as the originating author for the first UN-World Bank framework on One Health. Operationally, this work supported lending throughout Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, deploying technology-focused innovation and finance in environment, infectious disease, and agriculture. He led numerous publications, including the five-part 'Investing in Climate and Health' series and 'Framework for Strengthening Human, Animal, and Environmental Public Health Systems.'
He has written and lectured widely on the relationship of human health to the environment and serves as a regular advisor to international organizations, governments, financial institutions, 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. -
Sebastien Boutet
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am currently a Senior Staff Scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), part of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. I also serve the role of LCLS Director of Experimental Operations since 2020.
I joined SLAC in 2007 working on the Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI) instrument as part of the LCLS Ultrafast Science Instrument (LUSI) project. This project delivered one of the first operating LCLS instruments in 2011, available to the user community for cutting edge ultrafast x-ray science. After a few years of working with LCLS staff and a broad user community on many experiments, I also worked on the design and deployment of a new LCLS x-ray instrument, the Macromolecular Femtosecond Crystallography (MFX) instrument. From there, I became the Department Head for the LCLS Hard X-ray Department, charged with the operations of the XPP, XCS, MFX and CXI instruments. I worked in this role until 2020 when I become LCLS Director of Experimental Operations.
During my undergraduate studies in Physics at McGill University, I spent a summer at TRIUMF at the University of British Columbia working on heavy ion cooling trap simulations. After graduating with Honours in 1999, I joined Ian Robinson x-ray diffraction group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I learned how to perform synchrotron experiments at multiple light source including NSLS, ESRF and the APS. My primary focus during PhD work was on applying known and novel techniques of surface diffraction and coherent diffractive imaging to the study of protein crystals. After some work on large protein crystals surface diffraction at NSLS, most of my efforts shifted to a new beamline at the APS. I participated in the installation and commissioning of this beamline, sector 34ID-C, although I was far from the primary contributor. This nevertheless introduced me to the intricacies of building x-ray beamlines. I then used this beamline for a few years to study the shapes and internal defects of crystals of proteins using newly developed coherent diffractive imaging techniques applied to small crystals. While some successes were achieved, it became clear that limitations exist at synchrotrons due to sample motion and radiation damage. Luckily, as I completed my PhD work in 2005, new light sources were in construction that would remove thee limitations. FLASH in Hamburg and LCLS were soon to come online. I spent a few years at the APS trying to observe shape transforms from protein crystals, with great difficulty, something that LCLS now routinely accomplishes without much effort due to the instantaneous nature of the LCLS measurements.
After completion of my PhD work, I joined SLAC as a Research Associate, with a joint appointment with Uppsala University and Janos Hajdu but spending all my time at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory working with the group of Henry Chapman. We spent a couple of years using FLASH to demonstrate the feasibility of using ultrashort FEL pulses for “diffraction-before-destruction” imaging and developing new tools and techniques for FEL research. -
Alison W. Bowers
Research Associate, Environmental Social Sciences
BioAlison Bowers holds a PhD in Educational Research and Evaluation from Virginia Tech. Her background and experience include working as a field-based environmental educator with the Cooperative Extension Service and at the national scale with nonprofit conservation and education organizations. Alison has an EdS in Early Childhood Special Education from George Washington University, a MFRC with a Certificate in Environmental Education and Communication from the University of Florida, and a BA in Psychology from the University of South Carolina. Her research focus is on research design and process and she is particularly interested in research reviews, systematic reviews, and grounded theory methodology.

Catharine Bowman
Research Asst - Graduate, Epidemiology and Population Health
BioCatharine Bowman is a concurrent PhD Candidate and Master’s Student in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University and MD Student at the University of Calgary. In 2007, Catharine’s mother was diagnosed with lymphedema, leading Catharine to promise her mother that she would one-day develop a pharmacological treatment for her incurable disease. By the age of fifteen, Catharine founded a national team of clinicians and scientists to pursue this work across Canada. Today, Catharine's research focuses on the epidemiology of lymphatic disease, lymphedema therapeutics, psychosocial manifestations, and surgical treatment of lymphedema. Through her speaking campaign, "Let's Talk Lymphedema", Catharine has presented on lymphedema internationally.
Catharine completed her Bachelor of Health Sciences (Hon.) at the University of Calgary, as one of five President’s Award recipients in 2020. She has been named one of Forbes Magazine’s 30 Under 30, one of Calgary’s Top 40 Under 40 by Avenue Magazine, and was selected as one of thirteen women in the world to join the Rising Talents Network in Paris, France. In 2022, Catharine was awarded the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship to pursue graduate studies at Stanford University.
