Zach Lannes
Engineering Librarian, Research & Teaching Support, Engineering Library
BioHello! I am the Engineering Librarian for Research & Teaching Support. Put simply, I help patrons of all levels learn how to use the myriad resources (books, databases, code, makerspace, and more!) in the Terman Library. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about our space, tools, and/or collections!
In my own academic work I am interested in outreach and instruction, and both these activities' relationships to new technology. I also am working on a research project related to credentialing in academic libraries. -
Maarten Lansberg, MD, PhD
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Adult Neurology) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research involves the design and conduct of clinical trials to discover new treatments for patients who have suffered a stroke. These trials span treatment of acute stroke, stroke recovery, and stroke prevention. My research in acute stroke is primarily focused on the use of advanced neuroimaging methods (CT and MRI) to select patients who are most likely to benefit from therapies aimed at restoring blood flow to the brain in patients who have suffered a stroke.

Patrick Lanter
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioPATRICK LANTER, MD, MPH FACEP is an assistant professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University. Dr. Lanter previously completed a 2-year ultrasound fellowship and 2-year global emergency medicine at Stanford and has completed his master's in public health at the University of California Berkeley. He completed his emergency medicine residency at Washington University in St. Louis where he served as Chief Resident. He completed his medical school training at the University of Illinois, Chicago and was a member of the Global Medicine Program during his time there. His work has focused on the development of a sustainable ultrasound training program at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali in Rwanda. Additionally, he has served as a course instructor for 2 Stanford courses (Medical Student Introduction of POCUS and Point of Care Ultrasound Clerkship), and the Emergency Medicine Clerkship at the University of Global Health Equity in Butaro, Rwanda.

Tobias Lanz
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
BioTobias Lanz, MD is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection and the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford. His research focuses on B cell biology in neuroimmunological diseases and rheumatic diseases with neurological manifestations. He uses high-throughput screening technologies, and methods from structural and cell biology to identify new autoantigens and to understand how certain self-reactive B cells escape tolerance mechanisms. He is particularly interested in molecular mechanisms that explain the association between Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and autoimmunity.
Tobias went to medical school at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, Germany and at the University College of London. He wrote his MD thesis at Dr. Michael Platten's laboratory at the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research in Tübingen, Germany before joining Dr. Lawrence Steinman’s neuroimmunological laboratory at Stanford as a research scholar. After medical school he pursued his scientific and clinical training at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany. In 2015 he joined Dr. William Robinson’s lab at Stanford, where he investigated environmental triggers of autoimmunity, including viruses and milk consumption. In his most recent work, he characterized the B cell repertoire in the spinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and identified molecular mimicry between EBV EBNA1 and the glial cellular adhesion molecule GlialCAM as a driver of neuroinflammation (Lanz et al., Nature, 2022). His long term objective is to leverage these newly discovered mechanistic insights to develop next-generation biomarkers and therapeutics for autoimmune diseases. -
Bryan Lanzman, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology
BioDr. Bryan Lanzman completed his medical degree and radiology residency at Columbia University Medical Center, before coming to Stanford University for a 2-year Neuroradiology fellowship. He joined the faculty at Stanford in 2017 and is actively involved in medical student and resident education, as well as quality improvement efforts within the neuroradiology section. He also serves as a co-director of the Neuroradiology clerkship for medical students, and for the Neuroradiology elective for neurology residents.

Patrick M. LaPlante
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioHi, I’m Patrick LaPlante, a product and engineering leader with over 30 years of experience in automotive and mobility. I’ve worked across global organizations including Toyota, Volvo, Lotus, and several EV startups, leading vehicle development from concept through production.
My background spans engineering, program management, and cross-functional leadership, with a focus on delivering complex products.
I’m currently at Form Energy in Berkeley, CA, working on next-generation energy storage solutions. -
Mathieu Lapôtre
Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and, by courtesy, of Geophysics and of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioProf. Lapôtre leads the Earth & Planetary Surface Processes group. His research focuses on the physics behind sedimentary and geomorphic processes that shape planetary surfaces (including Earth's), and aims to untangle what sedimentary rocks tell us about the past hydrology, climate, and habitability of planets.

Joaquín Lara Midkiff
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2025
BioJoaquín Lara Midkiff is a doctoral student studying as a Dean's Fellow in the Department of History focused on Indígena communities from Mexico and Central America in social and labor movements in the United States during the twentieth century. His earlier scholarship has centered on social histories of Oregon’s Indigenous migrant communities in the post-IRCA period.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, Joaquín comes from a family of working-class folks from Oklahoma and northern California and Nahua migrant farmworkers from Guerrero’s cohuixca. He served Oregon communities on public and non-profit boards, including Cherriots (Salem Area Mass Transit), the Oregon Disabilities Commission, and PCUN, Oregon’s farmworker union.
He has also contributed essays on houselessness, disability justice, and immigration that have appeared in the Oregonian, Truthout, and Yale Review of International Studies, among others, and poetry in The Future Lives in our Bodies (Abalone Mountain Press, 2022). -
