Amy Thomas
Visual Designer, Rad/Radiology Finance and Administration
BioI'm a passionate designer with 19 years of experience in interface, print, and web design. I love to make things look, work, and act more efficiently. Some might call it compulsion...I like to call it passion. My mind and heart are always open to challenging design problems. I thrive on finding innovative solutions to complex situations.
I started my professional career as a Visual Designer at IBM for the Storage Systems Group. My work at IBM involved close interaction with our user experience designers. The team I was on developed a software interface to help facilitate storage administrators in monitoring their storage subsystems. We created an interface that allowed the admin to see storage system status at a glance using a drill down table as well as custom built icons. The work our team completed earned several US Patents.
In March 2008, I began my career at Stanford University School of Medicine. I started as a Temporary Visual Arts Specialist. In November 2010 I was hired on full time as the Web & Graphic Designer for the Department of Radiology. My work at Stanford is very gratifying. I never expected, as an artist, to have my work matter in a way that could help other people. With each new project, I am (in a small way) contributing to the research and development of new and innovative treatments for many of the most damaging diseases. My art helps the great minds of our department explain their thinking, their research, and their findings to others in their field. -

Stefan Thottunkal
Casual Employee, Med/Quantitative Sciences Unit
Casual Employee, Medicine - Primary Care and Population HealthBioStefan Thottunkal is a physician in training, Stanford researcher, and policymaker whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, precision medicine, translational science, and public health innovation. He completed the M.S. in Community Health and Prevention Research at Stanford University as an IIE Quad Fellow, one of the world’s most selective international research fellowships, where his thesis centered on computational pharmacogenomics and the use of data-driven LLM methods to advance precision prescribing.
His research focuses on translating innovation into clinically meaningful and implementation-ready health solutions, with particular interests in pharmacogenomics, chronic disease, and AI-enabled decision support. He is especially interested in how machine learning and large language models can be used not simply as technical advances, but as robust clinical tools that improve prescribing, strengthen care delivery, and incorporate human centered design principles to effectively integrate precision medicine in routine clinical practice.
At Stanford, he contributes to the Han Lab’s research on advancing precision oncology in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, while helping lead NOURISH, a pioneering Stanford Medicine initiative reimagining cardiometabolic care through culturally tailored nutrition science, behavioral insight, and digital innovation. NOURISH advances a model of lifestyle medicine that preserves cultural relevance while applying rigorous scientific methods to improve metabolic health. By integrating culinary medicine with emerging technologies, the initiative is exploring how AI-enabled tools, personalized digital education, and interactive nutrition support systems can make evidence-based dietary guidance more adaptive, engaging, and scalable across diverse populations. His work in this space reflects a broader interest in how technology can help transform nutrition care from generic advice into a more personalized, culturally tailored, and behaviorally attuned form of preventive medicine.
In parallel with his research career, Stefan brings close to half a decade of experience advising the Australian Federal Government on major health and social policy initiatives. His international experience also includes mentoring hackathon teams in India and medical device development in Nigeria, where he contributed to dialysis device innovation and clinical trials design in resource-constrained settings.
