Amir Esrafilian
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Affiliate, Wu Tsai Human Performance AllianceBioAmir Esrafilian, PhD, focuses on computational biomechanics and mechanobiology, with an emphasis on multiscale and multiphysics modeling of the musculoskeletal system and lower-limb joints.
His work integrates musculoskeletal and finite element modelling, medical imaging, motion analysis, electromyography, and artificial intelligence to better understand human movement, joint mechanics, and the development and progression of musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis. A particular focus of his research is developing automated and data-driven computational frameworks that connect patient-specific anatomy, movement, muscle coordination, and tissue-level biomechanics.
Amir's research aims to translate advances in computational modelling and machine learning into clinically relevant tools for understanding disease mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, and supporting personalised prevention and treatment strategies.

Liisi Esse
Curator for Estonian and Baltic Studies, Humanities Resource Group
BioLiisi Esse serves as Curator for Estonian and Baltic Studies at Stanford Libraries since 2013. Her main responsibility is to build and maintain Stanford's collection of Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Finnish material in all formats (books, periodicals, manuscripts, electronic sources, etc.). Her wider goal is to enhance Baltic studies by advising scholars and students interested in the matter, engaging in collaborative projects with other institutions, and organizing events and exhibits at Stanford.
Liisi also serves as Administrative Executive Director of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS).
