Meagan Mauter
Associate Professor Civil & Environmental Engineering, of Photon Science, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and at the Precourt Institute for Energy and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
BioProfessor Meagan Mauter directs the Water & Energy Efficiency for the Environment Lab (WE3Lab) with the mission of supporting affordability, resiliency, and sustainability in water-energy infrastructure systems. We develop and implement computational tools that guide robust infrastructure planning, prioritize technology innovation and investment, and unlock system flexibility.
Professor Mauter also serves as the research director for the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI), a $235-million DOE Energy-Water Desalination Hub addressing water security challenges in the United States. The Hub targets research and development of energy-efficient and cost-competitive solutions for integrating non-traditional source waters into the water supply portfolio.
Prior to joining the faculty at Stanford, she served as an Energy Technology Innovation Policy Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and the Mossavar Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School, and as an Associate Professor of Engineering & Public Policy, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
Professor Mauter holds bachelors degrees in Civil & Environmental Engineering and History from Rice University, a Masters of Environmental Engineering from Rice University, and a PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from Yale University. Prior to joining the faculty at Stanford, she served as an Energy Technology Innovation Policy Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and the Mossavar Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and as an Associate Professor of Engineering & Public Policy, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. -
Michaëlle Ntala Mayalu
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
BioDr. Michaëlle N. Mayalu is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. She received her Ph.D., M.S., and B.S., degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology in the Computing and Mathematical Sciences Department. She was a 2017 California Alliance Postdoctoral Fellowship Program recipient and a 2019 Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Program award recipient. She is also a 2023 Hypothesis Fund Grantee.
Dr. Michaëlle N. Mayalu's area of expertise is in mathematical modeling and control theory of synthetic biological and biomedical systems. She is interested in the development of control theoretic tools for understanding, controlling, and predicting biological function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels to optimize therapeutic intervention.
She is the director of the Mayalu Lab whose research objective is to investigate how to optimize biomedical therapeutic designs using theoretical and computational approaches coupled with experiments. Initial project concepts include: i) theoretical and experimental design of bacterial "microrobots" for preemptive and targeted therapeutic intervention, ii) system-level multi-scale modeling of gut associated skin disorders for virtual evaluation and optimization of therapy, iii) theoretical and experimental design of "microrobotic" swarms of engineered bacteria with sophisticated centralized and decentralized control schemes to explore possible mechanisms of pattern formation. The experimental projects in the Mayalu Lab utilize established techniques borrowed from the field of synthetic biology to develop synthetic genetic circuits in E. coli to make bacterial "microrobots". Ultimately the Mayalu Lab aims to develop accurate and efficient modeling frameworks that incorporate computation, dynamical systems, and control theory that will become more widespread and impactful in the design of electro-mechanical and biological therapeutic machines. -

Jay McClelland
Lucie Stern Professor in the Social Sciences, Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Linguistics and of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research addresses topics in perception and decision making; learning and memory; language and reading; semantic cognition; and cognitive development. I view cognition as emerging from distributed processing activity of neural populations, with learning occurring through the adaptation of connections among neurons. A new focus of research in the laboratory is mathematical cognition and reasoning in humans and contemporary AI systems based on neural networks.

Molly McFadden
Acting Assistant Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
BioMolly McFadden is an incoming assistant professor in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University (beginning January 2027). The McFadden research group works at the interface of materials science and synthetic chemistry, using strain-promoted reactions to enable both new syntheses and new applications of soft materials. Her research combines transition-metal catalysis, polymer synthesis, and holistic materials characterization to link a polymer's primary structure and its mechanical response.
Plastics are subject to mechanical forces at every stage of their lives, from synthesis and processing to their use lifetime and ultimately to their recycling. These forces are usually treated as a liability: both extrusion and strain during use break chains, degrading the material. The McFadden group instead treats strain as a strategic and synthetic tool. Force acts across every length scale, impacting everything from the bulk properties and integrity of a material down to the electronic structure of a single bond. Further, the electronic impact of elongational strain accessible in polymer backbones remains far less understood than the contracted angular strain in small cyclic molecules known to enable unique reactivity. Force-responsive molecular switches, or mechanophores, let a material report on the stress it experiences, both as tools to map how stress propagates through soft materials and as the basis for stimuli-responsive materials with applications from smart plastics to biomedical sensing and therapeutics. The group uses catalytic and molecular approaches to understand these forces, to prevent the damage they cause, and ultimately to harness their energy to drive productive reactions to discover and synthesize new materials.
Prior to joining Stanford, Prof. McFadden was a Kathryn A. Day Miller Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, working with Prof. John Hartwig on selective transition-metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization of commodity polyolefins to yield more sustainable plastics. She received her B.S. in Biochemistry from Indiana University and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Caltech, where she worked with Prof. Maxwell Robb on the design of molecular mechanophores for force-responsive polymeric materials. -
