Teresa Nicolson, PhD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur aim is to understand the molecular basis of hearing and balance. We use zebrafish as our model system, which offers distinct advantages for imaging auditory/vestibular and lateral line hair cells in intact animals. Our experiments focus on the function of deafness genes isolated from forward genetic screens and developmental aspects of sensory hair-cell activity and synaptogenesis.

Adam Nielander
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioMy research focuses in the areas electrocatalysis, electrolysis, and solar-driven chemical fuel production. We develop catalysts, instrumentation, methodologies, and device engineering/designs for improved production of chemical fuels (e.g., H2, NH3, ethanol) from abundant feedstocks (e.g., H2O, N2, CO2). This work includes in situ and operando studies of catalyst/ionomer interfaces under operating conditions and is underpinned by complementary driving aims to develop next-generation electrochemical technologies and to elucidate the fundamental principles that dictate the performance of sustainably-driven electrochemical processes.

Susan Ryan Niermann
Spring CSP Instructor
BioSusan Ryan is a strategic leader, speaker, and creator of the 10% Project—a career and personal growth framework rooted in the belief that big change starts small. With a background in strategy, marketing, and leadership development, Sue has spent her career helping people and ideas grow side by side.
She’s shared her work with audiences ranging from startups to Fortune 50 companies—and inspired individuals across the spectrum: students finding their way, job seekers in transition, professionals dreaming bigger, and retirees rediscovering purpose. Her talks blend clarity, humor, and practical tools that help people take meaningful action without needing to overhaul their entire lives.
The 10% Project started as a single chart in a student presentation. It’s since grown into a full book, a toolkit of worksheets, and a vision for helping individuals move from idea to impact—without burning out.
Sue believes in building careers with purpose, mentoring with heart, and dreaming big (even on a small scale). Her message resonates across roles, ages, and industries—because everyone has a 10% Project waiting to be explored. -
Kenneth Nieser
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Surgery
BioKen Nieser is a postdoctoral research fellow through the Big Data-Scientist Training Enhancement Program (BD-STEP) at the Palo Alto VA and in the Department of Surgery, Stanford School of Medicine. Ken received a BA in Physics and Mathematics from Swarthmore College and a PhD in Epidemiology with a minor in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his PhD, Ken developed and applied statistical methods for improving algorithmic fairness of data analyses used to inform screening and treatment of mental illnesses. These projects included development of an approach for detecting sample subsets with differential psychological symptom patterns and a sample representation reweighting method for improving the precision of subgroup-specific treatment effect estimation.
Ken’s current research interests are in health care inequities, quality measurement, and algorithmic fairness. During his fellowship, Ken will be working on investigating the statistical reliability of quality measures and decomposing health care disparities to provide practical information for resolving inequities, with applications in mental health care and surgical care. -
Andrea Nightingale
Professor of Classics, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am completing a book entitled "Eros and Epiphany: Plato on the Soul's Ascent to Divine Beings"
-
Kopal Nihar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am a PhD candidate advised by Dr Rishee Jain and working at Urban Informatics Lab. My research interest lies in understanding data-driven human-building interactions and impact of indoor air quality on occupant behaviour, especially for the purpose of natural ventilation.

Kouta Niizuma
Basic Life Research Scientist, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioI am a Research Scientist in Prof. Hiromitsu Nakauchi's laboratory at Stanford University. I obtained my PhD in Immunology from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. During my doctoral studies in Prof. Akira Shibuya's laboratory, I focused on the characterization of cell surface receptors expressed on immune cells. I successfully cloned a novel human immunoglobulin-like receptor, CD300H, and established a specific monoclonal antibody. My research demonstrated that CD300H is expressed on a subset of human monocytes and dendritic cells and plays a crucial role in enhancing inflammation by promoting the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
During my PhD, I also studied as a visiting scholar in Prof. Lewis L. Lanier's laboratory at UCSF, where I investigated the role of the activating receptor NKG2D on NK cells in viral immunity.
Since May 2018, I have been a member of the Nakauchi lab. My current research focuses on the development of new immunotherapies using myeloid cells derived from iPS cells, the generation of monoclonal antibodies, and hematopoietic stem cell biology. -
Mark Nikolic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioI study large scale processes of evolution through earth history using the fossil record. In doing so, I make use of computational and phylogenetic approaches along with large datasets. I also lead the History of Life and Biodiversity summer internship through the Stanford Young Investigators program. Aside from fossils, I'm also a big fan of riding my bike and disco music.

Margaret Claire Nikolov
Senior Manager of Quantitative Analysis, Clinical Excellence Research Center (CERC) Operations
BioDr. Meg Nikolov joined CERC in July 2022 as Senior Manager of Quantitative Analysis. Prior to CERC, Meg led the Technical Consulting and Advanced Analytics team, National Market Research at Kaiser Permanente, where her work focused on access to care and on telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to relocating to the West Coast, Meg was Assistant Professor in the Math Department at the United States Naval Academy. At the Naval Academy, Meg coordinated and taught the statistics and probability courses, co-taught the capstone research course in quantitative economics, advised student research projects, and collaborated with faculty on interdisciplinary research. Meg continues to collaborate on research exploring gender and racial bias in professional performance evaluations. Meg received her Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Biometry from Cornell University and her PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Dr. Mahendra Nimmakanti
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioI am a climate scientist with academic training spanning meteorology, oceanography, and climate dynamics, holding an M.Sc. in Meteorology and an M.Tech. in Atmospheric Sciences from Andhra University, and a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from NIT Rourkela, where my doctoral research focused on monsoon variability and climate dynamics.
My research integrates advanced climate modeling (CESM2, RegCM5, WRF), large-scale diagnostic analysis, and high-performance computing to investigate the dynamics of the Indian Summer Monsoon, AMOC–monsoon teleconnections, ENSO interactions, tropical–extratropical coupling, and sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction. I have developed specialized diagnostic frameworks for identifying climate system transitions and tipping elements, and have collaborated actively with international research groups across Europe, North America, and South Asia. My work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals.
