Fikunwa Kolawole
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering / Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Sciences, expected graduation Spring 2028
BioFikunwa is a mechanical engineering Ph.D. candidate in the cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Lab (Ennis Lab) in the Stanford Radiology Department. His research, which is at the intersection between medicine and engineering, is focused on developing mechanics-based clinical biomarkers for heart disease. Through his research, he aims to establish a comprehensively validated and clinically viable tool for estimating in vivo heart tissue stiffness to better understand and manage heart failure.
He began his academic journey as a mechanical engineering undergraduate student at Howard University during which time he also worked as a researcher at the FDA’s department of applied mechanics, characterizing the mechanical response of metals used in implantable cardiovascular devices. At Howard, he also supported research in the Applied Mechanics and Materials Lab and Biosensors Lab, as an undergraduate research assistant. Upon completing his undergraduate studies, in 2019, he joined Stanford University’s mechanical engineering department. He is also affiliated with the Radiology departments at Stanford and the Veterans Administration Palo Alto Health Care System. He is deeply passionate about empowering minority students to pursue STEM careers. Additionally, he is a fellow of the Bio-X, Stanford’s Interdisciplinary biosciences institute -

Perin A. Kothari
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Perin Kothari, is a Clinical Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and a specialist in cardiothoracic anesthesiology. He completed medical school at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, anesthesiology residency training at the Cleveland Clinic where he served as Chief Resident, and cardiothoracic anesthesiology fellowship at the University of California, San Diego.
Dr. Kothari is a Fellow of the American Society of Echocardiography and American Osteopathic College of Anesthesiologists, and he is committed to education and mentorship at all career stages. He serves as the residency rotation director for cardiac anesthesiology, where he focuses his teaching on advanced perioperative transesophageal echocardiography and organ preservation strategies for heart and lung transplantation, and he mentors residents in the Stanford Medical Education Pathway. He has received the Educator of the Year Award from the Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Fellowship program and is Director of his Department's faculty mentorship program and the Anesthesiology Speaker Program Inter-Exchange (ASPIRE), which provides early career faculty with national speaking opportunities.
Dr. Kothari has nearly 30 publications, which mostly focus on educating the practicing physician on updated evidence-based guidelines. He is an invited speaker at national medical conferences, serves on several committees of national organizations such as the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, American Society of Anesthesiologists, and American Society of Echocardiography, and is an Editorial Board member of the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. -
