Tan Wei Ting
Affiliate, Neurosurgery
BioWei Ting graduated from University Malaya under the Department of Biomedical Engineering (Bachelor & Master's).Apart from multidisciplinary (tissue engineering, medical imaging, computational biology) research experience, she has worked in startups, industry, clinics, and medical centres with exposure to rehabilitation robotics, TCM in fertility, and clinical trials.
Her past undergraduate research experience includes
1. Dr Belinda Murphy’s Tissue Engineering Lab to assist in cell culturing and cytotoxicity testing
2. Asian Cardiac Laboratory under Dr Lim Einly for medical imaging-based investigation of flow energetics and vortex parameters in heart attack patients
For master's research, funded under Newton Advanced Fellowship in collaboration with Imperial College London’s Prof Xu group and UTM's Dr Mohd Jamil’s group.
1. Research focus: investigating the risk factor of distal stent induced new entry in aortic dissection patients using both simplified and patient-specific models.
2. Presented in local and international conference, published peer review studies and has reviewed paper relevant to the project.
With curiosity for knowledge, arts, philosophy, and the sciences, she often diving into new fields, moves across disciplines, and combines several areas of knowledge. She gained both lab-based and computational skills, for example: bioinformatics, pharmacokinetic modelling, cell staining, confocal microscopy, FRET cell transfection, live cell imaging, image processing, high-performance computing, quantum algorithms, etc.
At MSU, she is part of the Tau Beta Pi National Honor Society and Cloud Computing Foundations (CCF) Program. For the cloud program, her interest is in applying a hybrid quantum-classical computational framework to small-molecule drug development. She is currently a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering from Michigan State University, performing computational analysis and exploring quantum algorithms for biomedical applications in cell(neuron and glia) and gene regulatory networks in the enteric nervous system.
Wei Ting has been active in learning more about different facets of medicine and often engages with researchers and physicians. She has gained familiarity with neurological disease (e.g. autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's) from different perspectives (e.g., rehabilitation robotics, brain simulation, and psychiatry). She is invited to join the Neurobehavior and Neuroscience Methods Workshop (SPrINT/Stanford) in 2026. -

Brooke Weigel
Assistant Professor of Oceans
BioDr. Brooke Weigel is a marine ecologist. Her research focuses on the ecology, physiology, and genomics of marine algae and microbial communities in the ocean. She is particularly interested in the feedbacks between climate change, kelp forests, microbes & carbon cycling in the ocean. Her research uses a variety of tools and methods, including field and lab experiments, genomics, bioinformatics, algal culturing, scientific scuba diving, ecophysiology, and biogeochemistry. Overall, her esearch aims to improve our understanding of coastal marine ecosystems with the overall goal of ensuring a healthy, productive, and resilient ocean. The Weigel Lab is based at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, CA.

Martin Weik
Affiliate, Structural Biology
Visiting Scholar, Structural BiologyBioMartin Weik is a CEA research director at the Institut de Biologie Structurale in Grenoble, France. He leads the “Structural Protein Dynamics” research team and chairs the “Dynamics and Kinetics of Molecular Processes” group. His work focuses on the dynamics of proteins — how they move and change shape over time — and how these dynamics relate to their function. Light-sensitive proteins (photoreceptors and fluorescent proteins, for example) are studied using a variety of experimental biophysical methods, including time-resolved serial crystallography at X-ray free electron lasers and synchrotrons. His other research interests include investigating how hydration water (i.e. water molecules surrounding proteins) couples to the dynamics of proteins, fibrous aggregates or disordered regions, using techniques such as neutron spectroscopy. Many of the proteins studied have medical or biotechnological applications.
In addition to conducting research, Martin Weik teaches a master course on using X-ray and neutron scattering to study biomolecular structure and dynamics at the University of Parma, Italy. Between March and June 2026, he is a Fulbright–UGA Scholar, hosted by Professor Soichi Wakatsuki in the Department of Structural Biology at Stanford University. -
Hans N. Weiler
Professor of Education and of Political Science, Emeritus and Academic Secretary to the University, Emeritus
BioHans N. Weiler
Professor Emeritus of Education and Political Science, and Academic Secretary, Emeritus, Stanford University
Professor of Comparative Politics and Rektor, Emeritus, Viadrina European University, Frankfurt (Oder)
Having been trained as a political scientist in Frankfurt/Main, Freiburg, and London,
Hans N. Weiler has been a professor of education and political science at Stanford
University since 1965, where he was instrumental in developing Stanford’s program
in international development education (SIDEC). He was director of UNESCO’s
International Institute for Educational Planning in Paris (IIEP) in the 1970s and has
served as a consultant to a number of international organizations (including the
World Bank and the African Development Bank), foundations and national
governments in Europe, Africa, and South East Asia. At Stanford, he served as
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, as a University Fellow, and as Director of the
Center for European Studies. He was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in
the Behavioral Sciences, and has been awarded research fellowships and grants
by, among others, the British Council, the Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science, the Spencer Foundation, the Thyssen Foundation, the Friedrich Ebert
Foundation, and the Deutsche Bank Foundation. In 1993, he was appointed a
professor of comparative politics and elected the first Rektor (president) of Viadrina
European University at Frankfurt (Oder), a position from which he retired in the fall
of 1999. He chaired the Commission on Higher Education of the State of Saxony
(1999-2002) and was instrumental in the founding and development of the Hertie
School of Governance in Berlin from 2002 to 2009. He has served in a variety of
advisory and consulting roles in German and European higher education between
1999 and 2014. From 2014 to 2017, he served as Stanford’s Academic Secretary to
the University.
He has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the (private) Hertie School
of Governance in Berlin, of the international boards of the Free University of Berlin
and the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, of the Advisory Board of the Center for Higher
Education Development (CHE) in Germany, and of the Global Scientific Committee
for UNESCO’s Forum on Higher Education, Research and Knowledge. His service
as an evaluator includes the “Excellence Initiative” in German higher education, the
Berlin Social Science Research Center (Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin), the
University of Freiburg, and various award competitions on research, teaching
quality, and teacher education. His recent speaking engagements have included
invited addresses in New York, Paris, Vienna, Budapest, San Francisco,
Heidelberg, Berlin, Frankfurt/Main, Kuala Lumpur, Trieste, Johannesburg, Cape
Town, Munich, Istanbul, and Stanford. He has been awarded the Order of Merit of
the Republic of Poland (Commander’s Cross), of the Federal Republic of Germany
(Bundesverdienstkreuz I. Kl.), and of the State of Brandenburg, as well as an
honorary doctorate by Viadrina University, and honorary citizenship by the city of
Frankfurt (Oder). His publications deal with the politics of educational change, the
international politics of knowledge production, and the dynamics of reform and nonreform
in higher education.
