Victoria I Cuéllar
Masters Student in Community Health and Prevention Research, admitted Autumn 2025
Bachelor of Science, Human BiologyBioVictoria Cuéllar is a junior at Stanford University majoring in Human Biology with a concentration in Holistic Approaches to Health and Well-Being. She aspires to become a bilingual, culturally competent internal medicine physician who integrates science, empathy, and equity to improve care for underserved communities. Raised low-income and uninsured along the U.S.–Mexico border, Victoria brings lived insight to her commitment to holistic, patient-centered care that empowers people to feel agency and comfort in caring for their long-term well-being.
Her research spans neurodegenerative disease, gender equity in healthcare, and the intersections of neuroscience, psychology, and music, particularly how music-based interventions, including digital music medicine, can serve as culturally translatable and accessible approaches to mental health. Beyond research, she serves as a Patient Health Navigator and Preclinical Volunteer at Stanford’s Cardinal Free Clinics and as a STEMentor for introductory chemistry, roles through which she supports underrepresented groups in both clinical and classroom settings. Outside of academics, Victoria plays the cello and finds her greatest joy in time spent with friends and family. -
Meg Cychosz
Assistant Professor of Linguistics
BioDr. Cychosz investigates how infants and children develop speech and language, including children who are d/Deaf or hard-of-hearing and multilingual learners. Her research bridges linguistics, cognitive science, developmental psychology, and electrical engineering to understand fundamental questions about language acquisition. Her interdisciplinary approach combines fieldwork with computational methods, using deep learning and automatic speech recognition tools to analyze naturalistic speech recordings from children's daily lives. She is particularly interested in how children's processing limitations might influence the structure of the world's languages, how sensory experiences like hearing loss affect language processing in early childhood, and how technological innovations can make language research more accessible and representative. Dr. Cychosz directs the Speech and Cognitive Development Lab and collaborates with clinical partners in audiology and speech-language pathology to ensure her research has translational impact to support children's language development.
