Ritu Asija
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioI am a pediatric cardiac intensivist specializing in the care of infants, children, and adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure. As Associate Director of the Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction Program at Stanford, I coordinate multidisciplinary care for patients with complex pulmonary artery abnormalities and right ventricular dysfunction. My clinical and academic interests include innovation in pediatric cardiovascular care, physician well-being, and faculty development. Following my appointment as a Faculty Fellow at the Stanford Center for Biodesign (2019–2020), I have continued to develop novel technologies addressing unmet needs in pediatric medicine. I also serve as a Physician Resource Network supporter, providing peer support to the Stanford School of Medicine community, and have completed the Stanford WellMD Wellness Director course. In addition, I am pursuing coaching certification to further advance faculty development and mentorship. My institutional and national leadership roles include serving on the Stanford School of Medicine Appointments and Promotions Committee and as a member of the American Board of Pediatrics Cardiology Subboard.

Karoline Marie Bornemann
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiology
BioKaroline-Marie Bornemann, PhD, is a biomedical engineer interested in cardiovascular flows, specifically the computational modeling of heart valves using fluid-structure interaction simulations. Her current postdoctoral research in the Marsden lab at Stanford University focuses on the simulation of congenital heart diseases and their repair in pediatrics working with Alexander D. Kaiser, Alison Marsden and Michael Ma. She obtained her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Bern where she investigated instability mechanisms leading to laminar-turbulent transition past bioprosthetic aortic valves with Dominik Obrist and Peter Schmid. During her PhD, she performed a secondment at KTH Royal Institute of Technology collaborating with Ardeshir Hanifi and Dan Henningson assessing the stability of flow fields past valve prostheses. Visualizations of her PhD research were showcased in a winning entry of the Gallery of Fluid Motion 2024 and her PhD thesis won the GCB Best PhD Thesis 2024 Award.
