Brian Boitnott
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Physics, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI am currently a Biomedical Physics PhD candidate in the Department of Radiology. In the two years prior to Stanford, I was at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I worked on airborne remote sensing systems and was on the core team developing a laser-ultrasound system for medical imaging.
My interests revolve around health technology and perception. I started in neuroscience, studying attention and cognitive control, and now work on designing systems and algorithms for sensing and processing biomedical signals. My broader interests are at the intersection between emerging technology innovation, translation, and long-term innovation strategy. -

MacKenzie Bolen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDr. MacKenzie “Mack” Bolen’s defining research passion is to leverage accessible and modifiable lifestyle factors to mitigate neurodegenerative risk. During her undergraduate education at Austin College in Texas, she began pursuing her interest in neurodegeneration by conducting research focused on the neuroprotective benefits of the ketogenic diet. This work evolved into an honors thesis investigating markers of inflammation in saliva from contact sport athletes and culminated in a TEDx talk on sports-related brain injuries. These experiences cemented her desire to understand the minutiae of the brain and catalyzed her decision to pursue a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Florida (UF). During Mack’s training under Dr. MG. Tansey at UF, her dissertation work generated global collaborations centered on a multiomic approach that leverages machine learning to identify peripheral biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets to slow the onset or progression of Parkinson’s disease. A hallmark of Mack’s career has been participating in collaborative team science and mentorship of the next generation of scientists, where she has consistently mentored advanced and budding scientists within the Gainesville community and collaborated on several manuscripts from labs across the nation. In addition to her scholarly work, she regularly volunteered at the UF Neuromedicine Intensive Care Unit (Neuro ICU) while pursuing her Ph.D. to better understand the clinical perspective of neurodegeneration.
By blending her Ph.D. training and experiences in the Neuro ICU, Mack hopes to actively improve the treatment of individuals living with neurodegeneration and continue to push the frontier of medicine as a postdoctoral scholar in Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford. Now under the mentorship of Dr. K. Poston, Mack will continue to access essential training at the intersection of immunology and Parkinson’s disease, via the investigation of the gut-brain axis. As a former collegiate soccer player, Mack loves to pretend to relive her glory days during rec-league on the weekends and can also be found struggling through a Yin yoga class. -
Sam Bollinger
Ph.D. Student in Cancer Biology, admitted Autumn 2021
BioOriginally from State College, Pennsylvania, Sam graduated with honors from Penn State University with a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. He subsequently spent three years working at the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research for Dr. Ellen Heber-Katz. Sam hopes to expand the paradigm of cancer research and help to develop novel therapies for cancer and other ailments. He is also interested in optimization of physical and mental performance.

Paul Bollyky
Stanford Medicine Professor of Infectious Disease and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are abundant in the human body. However, their contributions to human health and disease are largely unknown. The Bollyky Lab
studies interactions between phages and both their human and bacterial hosts with the goal of developing innovative strategies to improve human health. -
Valentin Bolotnyy
Research Fellow/Hoover Fellow/Kleinheinz Fellow
BioValentin Bolotnyy is a Kleinheinz Fellow at the Hoover Institution, a research affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA), and an affiliated scholar in the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL).
His main research aims to generate and inform innovative policies that improve economic and health outcomes, especially for society’s most vulnerable populations. The research is often done in partnership with state and local agencies, including departments of transportation, human services, and public safety.
Working with the Deliberative Democracy Lab, he also designs and analyzes randomized experiments aimed at understanding how Americans communicate about politics and public policy and what factors may lead to changes in public opinion on key issues.
The objective of all of his work is to strengthen democracy by helping policy makers deliver good outcomes for their constituents.
Bolotnyy received a BA in economics and international relations, with honors and distinction, from Stanford University and a PhD in economics from Harvard University. -

Emanuele Bombardi
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Flow Physics and Computation
BioEmanuele Bombardi received his BSc (2020) and MSc (2022) degrees in Mathematical and Aerospace Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino. He subsequently began his doctoral studies at the Aéro-Thermo-Mécanique Laboratory at the Université libre de Bruxelles, under the supervision of Prof. Alessandro Parente and co-supervised by Prof. Luca Magri at Imperial College London, within the MODELAIR project funded by a Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grant, with an expected graduation in 2027. He is a participant in the 2026 Summer Program at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University.
Bombardi's research focuses on data assimilation methods for turbulence modelling and pollutant dispersion in urban atmospheric flows. Specific topics of interest include the development of ensemble Kalman filter frameworks for the calibration of turbulence closures, uncertainty quantification for low-fidelity simulations using high-fidelity data, and the application of these methods to complex urban environments. -
Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, MSc
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research program focuses on the autonomic nervous system as a modifiable determinant of physiological resilience and recovery across acute and chronic disease states. I investigate sympathetic modulation as a therapeutic strategy, examining how regional anesthetic and neuromodulation techniques, including cervical sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks, influence cerebral perfusion, cardiovascular regulation, neuroimmune interactions, and functional outcomes.
Through the integration of clinical trials, translational human physiology, and advanced physiologic monitoring, my work seeks to elucidate mechanisms of autonomic dysfunction and to develop evidence-based neuromodulation approaches for conditions such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (Long COVID). The long-term objective of this research is to advance interdisciplinary models of care and to translate autonomic science into therapeutic strategies that improve long-term patient outcomes. -
