Leticia Britos Cavagnaro
Adjunct Professor
BioLeticia Britos Cavagnaro is a scientist-turned-designer working to shape the future of teaching and learning at the Stanford Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school). She holds a PhD from Stanford, at the intersection of Developmental Biology and Computer Science.
Leticia has started and leads several d.school initiatives that support pedagogical innovation globally, such as the Teaching and Learning Studio –an open-enrollment professional development program that has trained over 1000 higher education professors and leaders since 2016– and the Innovative Teaching Scholars program –a collaboration with the Stanford Engineering Center for Global & Online Education to train university educators in Thailand.
She was the founding Deputy Director of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), an NSF-funded initiative to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education across the US that was spearheaded by Stanford's Management Science & Engineering department from 2011 to 2016. With Epicenter as its launchpad, Leticia co-founded, scaled, and spun-off the University Innovation Fellows program, which empowers students globally to be co-designers of their education in collaboration with faculty and leaders at their schools. The program has trained over 3200 Fellows from over 326 universities in 24 countries.
Leticia teaches Capstone Project and Advanced Reflective Practice to graduate students in Stanford’s MS Design program. She also develops tools that leverage emerging technologies like AI to empower learners to be self-directed, action-oriented, and reflective. Riff –the generative AI reflection assistant Leticia developed– is being used by hundreds of educators globally and has supported over 25,000 student reflections in the past year.
Leticia is a thought leader in pedagogical innovation. Her recent book Experiments In Reflection invites us to expand how we see the past and present and to become bold shapers of the future.
She was born in Uruguay and lives in San Francisco with her husband.

Mark Brongersma
Director, Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM), Stephen Harris Professor, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and, by courtesy, of Applied Physics
BioMark Brongersma is a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. He received his PhD in Materials Science from the FOM Institute in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 1998. From 1998-2001 he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the California Institute of Technology. During this time, he coined the term “Plasmonics” for a new device technology that exploits the unique optical properties of nanoscale metallic structures to route and manipulate light at the nanoscale. His current research is directed towards the development and physical analysis of nanostructured materials that find application in nanoscale electronic and photonic devices. Brongersma received a National Science Foundation Career Award, the Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching, the International Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize in the Physical Sciences (Physics) for his work on plasmonics, and is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, the SPIE, and the American Physical Society.
