Valentin Bolotnyy
Hoover Research Fellow, HOOVER RESEARCH
BioValentin Bolotnyy is a Kleinheinz Fellow at the Hoover Institution, a research affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA), and an affiliated scholar in the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL).
His main research aims to generate and inform innovative policies that improve economic and health outcomes, especially for society’s most vulnerable populations. The research is often done in partnership with state and local agencies, including departments of transportation, human services, and public safety.

Emanuele Bombardi
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Flow Physics and Computation
BioEmanuele Bombardi received his BSc (2020) and MSc (2022) degrees in Mathematical and Aerospace Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino. He subsequently began his doctoral studies at the Aéro-Thermo-Mécanique Laboratory at the Université libre de Bruxelles, under the supervision of Prof. Alessandro Parente and co-supervised by Prof. Luca Magri at Imperial College London, within the MODELAIR project funded by a Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grant, with an expected graduation in 2027. He is a participant in the 2026 Summer Program at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University.
Bombardi's research focuses on data assimilation methods for turbulence modelling and pollutant dispersion in urban atmospheric flows. Specific topics of interest include the development of ensemble Kalman filter frameworks for the calibration of turbulence closures, uncertainty quantification for low-fidelity simulations using high-fidelity data, and the application of these methods to complex urban environments. -
Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, MSc
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research program focuses on the autonomic nervous system as a modifiable determinant of physiological resilience and recovery across acute and chronic disease states. I investigate sympathetic modulation as a therapeutic strategy, examining how regional anesthetic and neuromodulation techniques, including cervical sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks, influence cerebral perfusion, cardiovascular regulation, neuroimmune interactions, and functional outcomes.
Through the integration of clinical trials, translational human physiology, and advanced physiologic monitoring, my work seeks to elucidate mechanisms of autonomic dysfunction and to develop evidence-based neuromodulation approaches for conditions such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (Long COVID). The long-term objective of this research is to advance interdisciplinary models of care and to translate autonomic science into therapeutic strategies that improve long-term patient outcomes. -

Bernardo Bonilauri
Instructor, Cardiovascular Institute
BioDr. Bernardo Bonilauri is a molecular biologist investigating the fundamental mechanisms of protein misfolding, cryptic peptides, and non-canonical codes in human biology and disease. He completed his postdoctoral training at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute under the mentorship of Dr. Joseph C. Wu, after which he was appointed Instructor. In this role, he continues to develop advanced in vitro disease models to probe molecular and cellular processes underlying human pathology.
His research focuses on Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR) and related protein misfolding disorders, applying multi-omics, structural biology, and stem cell–based platforms to dissect how pathogenic aggregates form and impair cellular function. In parallel, Dr. Bonilauri investigates microproteins encoded by small open reading frames (sORFs), with emphasis on their translation, subcellular localization, and biological functions in human cells. -
Hector Fabio Bonilla
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Infectious Diseases
BioAs a young physician at Louisiana State University, Dr. Bonilla focused on the Clinical Management of HIV/AIDS and HCV, two neglected and stigmatized diseases for which effective therapies were in their infancy. While learning the clinical aspects of the two diseases, Dr. Bonilla saw a need to create and organize a support community to promote understanding and management of the conditions. Subsequently, he went to Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio, and he continued his work where he specialized in HIV/HCV as well as in Infectious Diseases Clinical Practice. In addition to teaching medical residents and students, Dr. Bonilla participated in numerous clinical trials and developed clinical research projects. Furthermore, he led the Infection Renal Transplant Program, HIV and HCV clinics, and he participated in several cooperative studies with Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Bonilla’s interest in academia led him to the University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he was an Assistant Professor, Clinician, and Medical Educator in the Department of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases. Due to his interest in cytokines and immunological responses, Dr. Bonilla became a researcher at ImmunoScience Inc., a biotechnology company in California that works to develop a therapeutic HIV vaccine. Dr. Bonilla’s experience of treating HIV/HCV combined with his interest in inflammatory response is the driving force behind his desire to understand ME/CFS. Dr. Bonilla is a strong patient advocate, and he believes in integrated care—care in which physicians communicate and coordinate efforts to deliver the best medical outcome for patients. His ME/CFS patients are his inspiration, and he is committed to continuing research to seek answers to their health challenges.

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.
