Leticia Britos Cavagnaro
Adjunct Professor
BioLeticia Britos Cavagnaro, Ph.D., is a scientist turned designer with a knack for creating transformative learning experiences. She holds a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology from Stanford's School of Medicine, and is a former member of the Research in Education & Design Lab (REDlab) from Stanford’s School of Education. She is the co-founder and co-Director of the University Innovation Fellows, a program of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school), which empowers students to be co-designers of their education in collaboration with faculty and leaders at their schools. Leticia was the founding Deputy Director of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), an NSF-funded initiative that operated from 2011 to 2016 to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education across the United States. Leticia works with educators from hundreds of schools and across disciplines in transforming their teaching practices by applying design abilities and pedagogical levers through the Teaching and Learning Studio program of the d.school. In addition, she works with corporate, non-profit and education leaders in the US and abroad in exploring how design can embolden leadership and drive responsible innovation. Leticia teaches Advanced Reflective Practice and Capstone Project to graduate students from Stanford’s Design Impact MS program, and uses emerging technologies to empower learners to be self-directed, action-oriented, and reflective shapers of the future. She was born in Uruguay, grew up in Colombia, and lives in San Francisco with her husband.

Mark Brongersma
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.

April Burrage
Provostial Fellow
BioApril Burrage, Ph.D. is a Provostial Fellow in the Management Science and Engineering department at Stanford University. Her research focuses on differences in entrepreneurial opportunities and the economics of innovation and science. She examines how institutions shape entrepreneurial possibilities and innovation for emerging tech entrepreneurs. Currently, her work explores the impact of innovation policies on tech entrepreneurship and the motivations of STEM professionals to commercialize their ideas. Supported by the National Science Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, Dr. Burrage's research has been featured in outlets such as Research Policy, Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, and Brookings Institution. Her research seeks to uncover the institutional factors that drive entrepreneurship and innovation, with the goal of informing policies and practices that promote a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. Dr. Burrage earned her Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, her M.A. in Economics from Roosevelt University, and her B.S. in Marketing from North Carolina A&T State University.
