Gabrielle Bunney
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioGabrielle Bunney, MD, MBA, MS is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University. She has a passion for using artificial intelligence (AI) models to support emergency medicine care delivery and efficiency. She has worked on projects spanning the whole life cycle in AI for clinical use, from model design and building, to model optimization, and finally the technical and clinical translation of AI for use in patient care. Her current research is focused on designing a model to select patients efficiently and equitably for an early electrocardiogram to detect myocardial infarction.
She received her Master’s degree from Stanford University’s Department of Biomedical Data Science, where she gained data science the technical experience to apply to her clinical knowledge. Additionally, she holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management with a focus in finance and is working with groups at Stanford that are bridging the gap between academic medicine and industry. She is a part of the Stanford Emergency Medicine Partnership Program (STEPP) aimed at building collaborations between the emergency department and companies focused on patient care solutions. The combination of a business background and research skills allow her to focus on the implementation of AI technologies into practice. She is continuing working on AI in healthcare with the philosophy that at the heart of innovation there must be a confluence of the strategic vision of the healthcare organization, economic viability, and practical operationalization. -
Cole M. Bunzel
Research Fellow/Hoover Fellow
BioI am a historian and scholar of the contemporary Middle East, specializing in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, Islamic theology and law, and modern Islamic radicalism. In addition to more scholarly articles, I have written extensively on the Sunni jihadi movement (also known as Jihadi Salafism) for a more popular audience, including such monographs as "From Paper State to Caliphate: The Ideology of the Islamic State" (Brookings, 2015), "The Kingdom and the Caliphate: Saudi Arabia and the Islamic State" (Carnegie Endowment, 2016), and "Jihadism on Its Own Terms: Understanding a Movement" (Hoover Institution, 2017). My first book, which grew out of my 2018 doctoral dissertation at Princeton, is titled "Wahhābism: The History of a Militant Islamic Movement" (Princeton, 2023). In it I draw on a wide array of primary sources in Arabic, including rare manuscripts gathered from across the world, to reconstruct the history and doctrine of the controversial Wahhabi movement that arose in central Arabia in the mid-eighteenth century. The movement, as I show, was distinguished not only by a theological exclusivism that cast large swathes of the world’s Muslims as beyond the pale but also by a confrontational ethic encapsulated by the requirement to show hatred and enmity to so-called polytheists and unbelievers. These characteristics of what I call militant Wahhabism defined the Wahhabi mainstream until the early twentieth century, when the founder of the modern Saudi kingdom sought to tone them down and forge a reconciliation of sorts with the wider Islamic world. The militant heritage has been rediscovered and reappropriated, however, by the ideologues of the Jihadi Salafi movement.
My current book project, tentatively titled "Refounding the Kingdom," examines how Saudi Arabia in recent years, under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has tried to distance itself even further from Wahhabism, particularly through the refashioning of the Saudi historical narrative. The founding of the early Saudi state has been backdated (from c. 1744 to 1727) in such a way as to write Wahhabism out of the story, and a new national holiday known as Founding Day has been proclaimed to mark the new 1727 national origin story. The book aims to place this shift in historical (and historiographical) context and in the context of the crown prince's broader reform efforts. A second book project, on which I am working concurrently, is a study of the history of jihadi ideology with a focus on those scholars and actors who most critically shaped it. -
