Victoria I Cuéllar
Chem 31s Stementor, Chemistry
Undergraduate, 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. -

Yilei Wu
Laboratory Services Manager 2, Chemistry
BioAs a research scientist at Stanford University, I am passionate about advancing the field of organic electronics and solar energy conversion. I have over 15 years of experience in designing, synthesizing, and applying novel organic materials for various applications, such as thin-film transistors, solar cells, spintronics, fluorescence imaging, and molecular machines. I work to develop high-performance organic materials for solution printable solar cells and wearable electronics. I leverage my expertise in supramolecular chemistry, thin-film deposition, and device characterization to optimize the donor-acceptor interfaces and bulk morphology of organic photovoltaic materials. My work contributes to the development of flexible and lightweight solar cells that can provide a sustainable and versatile solution for the modern military and civilian needs.
As lab manager, I oversee the operation and management of Chemistry department laboratory teaching facilities. I also oversee and administer health and safety programs and ensure safety compliance.
As instructor, I teach CHEM 100: Chemical Laboratory and Safety Skills. This is a short in-lab course that is only held in the second week of the Autumn quarter. It provides training in basic chemical laboratory procedures and chemical safety to fulfill the safety training requirement for CHEM 121 and more advanced laboratory courses. The following topics are covered: Reading and Understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Exploring Hazards and Risks, Waste Management, Basic Purification (TLC, Extraction, Filtration, etc.) and Analysis Techniques.
