Alexander D. Kaiser
Instructor, Cardiothoracic Surgery
BioAlexander Kaiser, PhD, is an applied mathematician and computational scientist who researches modeling and simulation of heart valves, focused on congenital heart valve disease and its surgical treatment. His recent research explores simulation-guided design of aortic valve repair of complex congenital heart defects. He has developed novel, nearly first-principles modeling methods for heart valves called elasticity-based design. These methods produce robust and realistic flows in fluid-structure interaction simulations. Dr. Kaiser is an Instructor in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University working with Michael Ma and Alison Marsden. He completed his PhD in Mathematics with Charles Peskin at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, where he was awarded the Kurt O. Friedrichs Prize for Outstanding Dissertation in Mathematics.

Neil M. Kalwani, MD, MPP
Clinical Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Neil M. Kalwani is a board-certified, fellowship-trained cardiologist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical instructor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. In addition, he serves as director of preventive cardiology at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Palo Alto Health Care System.
Dr. Kalwani specializes in general and preventive cardiology care. He has expertise in treating high cholesterol and other risk factors to prevent and stop the progression of coronary artery disease and other forms of atherosclerosis. He provides compassionate care centered around his patients' goals and prioritizes effective therapies based on the latest evidence to improve heart health and overall well-being.
Dr. Kalwani’s research focuses on innovations in care delivery designed to improve the value of care for people living with cardiovascular disease. He is especially interested in telemedicine and its impact on cardiology care, including on quality of care, practice patterns, and access. He has also investigated clinical decision support for cardiac testing, measurement of patient-reported outcomes for heart disease, and lipoprotein (a) testing patterns.
Dr. Kalwani has published his research in many peer-reviewed journals, including Circulation, the American Heart Journal, the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology, and the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare. He has also presented his research at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions. His presentations have covered topics ranging from telemedicine’s effect on care delivery to the impact of physician productivity assessment on medical center performance.
Dr. Kalwani is a member of the ACC, AHA, and American Society of Echocardiography (ASE). -

Guson Kang
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Kang is an interventional cardiologist who specializes in the treatment of structural heart disease. He is an expert in complex coronary interventions, transcatheter aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve replacements, transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve repair, left atrial appendage occlusion, PFO/septal defect closure, alcohol septal ablation, paravalvular leak closure, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, and pulmonary vein stenting.
A Bay Area native, he graduated from Stanford University and obtained his medical degree at Yale University. He came back to Stanford to train in internal medicine, cardiology, and interventional cardiology before completing an advanced structural interventions fellowship at Ford Hospital. -
Peter Kao
Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research program has several active projects:
1.) Pulmonary Vascular Disease Simvastatin reversed experimental pulmonary hypertension, and is safe for treatment of patients. Blinded clinical trials of efficacy are in progress.
2.) Lung inflammation and regeneration (stem cells)
3.) Lung surfactant rheology and oxidative stress
4.) Gene regulation by RNA binding proteins, NF45 and NF90 through transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms
