Samuel Montalvo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioAs a clinical exercise physiologist, sport scientist, and biomechanist, I study the mechanical, physiological, and molecular determinants of human performance and health. I am certified as a Performance and Sport Scientist (CPSS), Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction (CSCS,*D), and Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University and a member of the Stanford Bioinformatics Core and Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance. My training has been supported by the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Postdoctoral Fellowship, the NIH T32 Research Training in Myocardial Biology at Stanford, and a two-year NIH/NHLBI Loan Repayment Program award in Research in Emerging Areas Critical to Human Health.
My research integrates clinical exercise physiology, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, biomechanics, and multi-omics to better understand how physical activity influences cardiovascular health, biological adaptation, and athletic performance. Through the NIH-funded Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium, I analyze large clinical, multi-omic, multi-tissue, multi-modality, and multi-species datasets to identify mechanisms and biomarkers of exercise response.
I also collaborate on projects involving sports cardiology and electrocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, exercise and neuromuscular disease, and athlete performance, including work with Stanford Baseball and external sports-science collaborators.
Teaching and mentoring are central to my academic work. As a first-generation college graduate and Mexican American with Indigenous heritage, I am committed to creating supportive and inclusive pathways for trainees from underrepresented backgrounds. I serve as a Postdoctoral Mentoring Coach with the Stanford Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, participate in the Stanford PRISM program, and mentor prospective and current medical students through the MAVERICs program within the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute.
My long-term goal is to lead an independent research program that combines exercise physiology, multi-omics, physical activity, nutrition, cardiovascular science, and sports performance while mentoring the next generation of scientists. -
Andrea Montanari
John D. and Sigrid Banks Professor and Professor of Mathematics
BioI am interested in developing efficient algorithms to make sense of large amounts of noisy data, extract information from observations, estimate signals from measurements. This effort spans several disciplines including statistics, computer science, information theory, machine learning.
I am also working on applications of these techniques to healthcare data analytics. -
Mercedes Montemayor Elosua
Doctor of Musical Arts Student, Musical Arts
BioMercedes Montemayor is a Mexican composer, multidisciplinary artist, and doctor of musical arts candidate at Stanford University. Her works manifest as electronic and electroacoustic music, sound Art, sound installation, and performance Art. She composes multichannel pieces for the stage and the listening room at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), from 3-7th order ambisonics. Also a film lover, she actively participates in the sound design and compositions of short films— and is now entering the world of scoring the feature film with LOUWRIEN WIJERS: from Competition to Compassion (2025). Her career launched with her collaboration with Mexican textile artist Miriam Medrez, in her intermedia installation Jardín Onírico (2022), followed by an internship at an Architectural Acoustics firm, and a performance in Mutek (2023) in Museo Anahuacall, in Mexico City with her debut album Volumina (2023).She studied Audio Engineering at Tecnológico De Monterrey and is in love with the process of mixing and mastering her work. Recently she's been reading Kierkegaard which is a considerable influence in her upcoming works, and continues to experiment with space to voice her experience as an experiencer.

Maria Emilia Montez Rath
Assistant Professor (Research) of Medicine (Nephrology)
BioDr. Montez-Rath completed her PhD in Biostatistics from Boston University in 2008 focusing on methods for modeling interaction effects in studies involving populations with high levels of comorbidity, such as persons on dialysis. She is a senior biostatistician and director of the Biostatistics Core of the Division of Nephrology at Stanford University where she has been collaborating with faculty and fellows since 2010 to study a variety of research questions relevant to kidney disease. Her methodological interests are mainly data-driven and include the handling of missing data, survival analysis with an emphasis on models for time-varying covariates and competing risks, methods for analyzing epidemiologic studies, analysis of correlated data and comparative effectiveness studies, as well as data visualization.

Thomas Montine, MD, PhD
Stanford Medicine Professor of Pathology
BioDr. Montine is the Stanford Medicine Endowed Professor, Chair of Stanford Pathology Department, and member of the National Academy of Medicine. He received his education and medical training at Columbia University, McGill University, and Duke University, and was junior faculty at Vanderbilt University where he was awarded the Thorne Professorship. In 2002, Dr. Montine was appointed as the Alvord Endowed Professor in Neuropathology at the University of Washington where he was Director of the University of Washington Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, one of the original 10 Centers in the US, and founding Director of the Pacific Udall Center, a NINDS-funded Center of Excellence for Parkinson’s Disease Research. Dr. Montine was Chair of the Department of Pathology at the University of Washington from 2010 to 2016 when he was appointed Chair of the Department of Pathology at Stanford University where he is the Stanford Medicine Endowed Professor.
The focus of the Montine Laboratory is on the structural and molecular bases of cognitive impairment. The Montine Laboratory addresses this prevalent, unmet medical need through a combination of neuropathology, biomarkers for detection and progression of early disease, and experimental studies that test hypotheses concerning specific mechanisms of neuron injury and then develop novel approaches to neuroprotection. Our current approaches include small molecule precision therapeutics and cell replacement strategies for brain. -

Louie Montoya
Lecturer, d.school
BioA self-proclaimed deeper learning education nerd, Louie Montoya joined the d.school in 2018 to work with educators on learning and implementing design in the classroom. Today he leads the Deeper Learning Puzzle Bus, a K12 lab mobile experiment designed to look at how “escape rooms” can change the way educators think about measurement and assessment, as well as bring more delight into the classroom.
A first generation Mexican American raised across the western hemisphere, Louie developed an interest in other cultures that anchors his work on behalf of equitable practices in the design process. As an experience designer at the Business Innovation Factory in Rhode Island, Louie co-designed and ran the Teachers for Equity Fellowship that worked with educators across the United States to address issues of racial inequity in their schools and classrooms. As a member of the Deeper Learning network Louie focuses on building capacity around skills such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking with students. -
