Paul Bollyky
Stanford Medicine Professor of Infectious Disease and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are abundant in the human body. However, their contributions to human health and disease are largely unknown. The Bollyky Lab
studies interactions between phages and both their human and bacterial hosts with the goal of developing innovative strategies to improve human health. -
Valentin Bolotnyy
Research Fellow/Hoover Fellow/Kleinheinz Fellow
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.
Working with the Deliberative Democracy Lab, he also designs and analyzes randomized experiments aimed at understanding how Americans communicate about politics and public policy and what factors may lead to changes in public opinion on key issues.
The objective of all of his work is to strengthen democracy by helping policy makers deliver good outcomes for their constituents.
Bolotnyy received a BA in economics and international relations, with honors and distinction, from Stanford University and a PhD in economics from Harvard University. -
Ivo Bolsens
Adjunct Professor
BioDirector of System X and instructor for EE310
Ivo retired from AMD as Senior Vice-President Corporate Research and Advanced Development. He managed advanced hardware and software technology development, including future architectures and software stacks to enable emerging opportunities in the fields of AI and embedded computing. His team was also driving the university partnerships to create a thriving, global ecosystem for AMD technology in academia.
He joined AMD in 2022, as part of the Xilinx acquisition. At Xilinx, he served as the Chief Technology Officer in charge of corporate research. He joined Xilinx in 2001 from the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC), an international research center based in Belgium. At IMEC he was vice president leading the R&D of digital signal processing hardware and software. During his tenure at IMEC, he spun-out several successful startups in the field of SOC design tools and wireless systems.
He serves on the advisory boards of IMEC, the Engineering Departments of San Jose State University and Santa Clara University, and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.
He received his Master’s degree and PhD degree (EE) from the KU Leuven university in Belgium. -

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.
