Jennifer Ni
Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - Endocrinology
BioI grew up mainly in the Bay Area of California, attending UC Berkeley for undergraduate (Go Bears!) with a major in Bioengineering. After a gap year working at a biotech start up, I traveled to the East Coast for medical school at the University of Pittsburgh, and then back to my birth state of Texas for residency at UT Southwestern. During my experiences in medical school and residency, I discovered that I enjoyed the logic of thinking through signaling pathways to understand the pathophysiology of endocrine disorders. In the future, I hope to combine my background in engineering with my passion for medicine to advance the field of endocrinology, especially in diabetes management. I am very excited to return to the Bay Area for fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy baking sweet treats, trying new restaurants, and running.

Sabrina Nicacio
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioSabrina Nicacio is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and graduate student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, specializing in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC). She earned her B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University with a Minor in Robotics and Intelligent Systems.
Sabrina has delivered technical results across leading aerospace institutions—designing flight hardware for Starship launch operations at SpaceX, developing multi-robot navigation algorithms for NASA JPL’s CADRE lunar mission at Stanford, and improving heat treatment processes for 3D-printed turbine blades at MIT. Her senior thesis at Princeton introduced a fuel-optimal reconfiguration framework for satellite swarms, applying convex optimization to orbital dynamics.
Sabrina is focused on building scalable, autonomous systems for spacecraft coordination and precision navigation. Her work reflects a deep technical foundation and a drive to solve mission-critical challenges in spaceflight. -
Ariadne Nichol
Resident in Medicine
BioAriadne Nichol is a resident physician in Internal Medicine at Stanford and a researcher at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Human Biology from Stanford University, where she graduated with Honors in Ethics in Society and was named a Public Service Scholar. She earned her medical degree from the UC San Diego School of Medicine, where she developed a biomedical ethics course and received a teaching award from the School of Medicine. She has previously worked on global public health research ethics topics with the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, and the National Public Health Organization of Greece. Her work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including the American Journal of Bioethics, PLOS ONE, and JAMA Network Open. Her research interests include ethical issues in biomedical research involving vulnerable populations, as well as the ethical and social implications of big data and machine learning in health care and for precision medicine.

Mark Nicolls
Stanford University Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab focuses primarily on the contribution of the immune response to lung disease. We are specifically examining the contribution of inflammation to the development of vascular injury in transplantation, pulmonary hypertension and lymphedema.

Teresa Nicolson, PhD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur aim is to understand the molecular basis of hearing and balance. We use zebrafish as our model system, which offers distinct advantages for imaging auditory/vestibular and lateral line hair cells in intact animals. Our experiments focus on the function of deafness genes isolated from forward genetic screens and developmental aspects of sensory hair-cell activity and synaptogenesis.

Adam Nielander
Staff Scientist, Energy Sciences
BioMy research focuses in the areas electrocatalysis, electrolysis, and solar-driven chemical fuel production. We develop catalysts, instrumentation, methodologies, and device engineering/designs for improved production of chemical fuels (e.g., H2, NH3, ethanol) from abundant feedstocks (e.g., H2O, N2, CO2). This work includes in situ and operando studies of catalyst/ionomer interfaces under operating conditions and is underpinned by complementary driving aims to develop next-generation electrochemical technologies and to elucidate the fundamental principles that dictate the performance of sustainably-driven electrochemical processes.

Perry Nielsen Jr
Temporary Employee, Medicine
BioPerry Nielsen Jr is a Master’s Student in Health Policy at Stanford University. Originally from Colorado, Perry got his Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) graduating Cum Laude and as a Truman Finalist. During his time in university, he volunteered in the pediatric immunocompromised unit at Shands Hospital and planned service events with local Gainesville nonprofits like Climb for Cancer and Footprints: Buddy and Support Program. He did quality assurance research in the Congenital Heart Center which led him to win 3rd place for original research at a regional Southeast research conference. He also interned at the Colorado Medical Society, where he helped draft a statewide physician counseling program for clinicians facing distress.
Perry is passionate about common sense healthcare reform and the accessible translation of medical research to clinical practice. In his free time, he enjoys meeting local coffee roasters and exploring the vintage fashion scene. Most of all, he’s excited to wander the west coast of the United States and appreciate all the natural beauty of the Bay Area. -
Koen Nieman
Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and of Radiology (CV Imaging)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr Nieman investigates advanced cardiac imaging techniques. Current projects focus on the development of functional CT application for hemodynamic interpretation of coronary artery disease, and the clinical validation of cardiac CT in the management of patients with ischemic heart disease.

Kopal Nihar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Catherine Gorle, Dr. Sarah Billington and Dr. Rishee Jain. I also did a PhD from Stanford advised by Dr Rishee Jain at Urban Informatics Lab. My research interest lies in understanding data-driven human-building interactions and impact of indoor air quality on occupant behaviour, especially for the purpose of natural cooling.
