Jack Topper
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioJack Topper is a Scientific Software Engineer at NASA’s Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC), where he designs and operates large-scale scientific data and modeling systems supporting the global space-weather research community. His work focuses on automating high-performance computing workflows, building resilient data pipelines, and translating complex scientific models into reliable, user-facing services.
He collaborates closely with domain scientists to bridge research objectives and production-grade software, and has taken on technical leadership responsibilities spanning system architecture, reliability, and user adoption. His interests sit at the intersection of optimization, decision systems, machine learning, and large-scale infrastructure, with an emphasis on how mathematical models and data-driven methods inform real-world operational decisions.
Jack is currently pursuing Stanford’s Data, Models, and Optimization Certificate through the Stanford Center for Professional Development, including coursework in convex optimization and related decision-science foundations. -

Natalie Torok
Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab is focused on exploring the role of matrix remodeling in disease progression in metabolic dysfunction steatohepatitis (MASH)-related hepatocellular carcinoma and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Our goal is to uncover how biomechanical characteristics of the ECM affect mechano-sensation, and how these pathways could ultimately be targeted. We are also interested in aging and its effects on metabolic pathways in MASH and HCC.
