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 is appointed as an Associate Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering and as a Center Fellow, by courtesy, in the Woods Institute for the Environment. She directs the Water and Energy Efficiency for the Environment Lab (WE3Lab) with the mission of providing sustainable water supply in a carbon-constrained world through innovation in water treatment technology, optimization of water management practices, and redesign of water policies. Ongoing research efforts include: 1) developing automated, precise, robust, intensified, modular, and electrified (A-PRIME) water desalination technologies to support a circular water economy, 2) identifying synergies and addressing barriers to coordinated operation of decarbonized water and energy systems, and 3) supporting the design and enforcement of water-energy policies.
Professor Mauter also serves as the research director for the National Alliance for Water Innovation, a $110-million DOE Energy-Water Desalination Hub addressing water security issues in the United States. The Hub targets early-stage research and development of energy-efficient and cost-competitive technologies for desalinating non-traditional source waters.
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. -

Paul McIntyre
Rick and Melinda Reed Professor, Professor of Photon Science and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioMcIntyre's group performs research on nanostructured inorganic materials for applications in electronics, energy technologies and sensors. He is best known for his work on metal oxide/semiconductor interfaces, ultrathin dielectrics, defects in complex metal oxide thin films, and nanostructured Si-Ge single crystals. His research team synthesizes materials, characterizes their structures and compositions with a variety of advanced microscopies and spectroscopies, studies the passivation of their interfaces, and measures functional properties of devices.

Apurva Mehta
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a materials scientist with three decades of experience unraveling the molecular-scale processes that govern the functionality, aging, and failure of complex materials and devices. Over this time, advanced characterization methods have undergone a revolutionary transformation, driven by the emergence of brighter sources—from synchrotrons and X-ray free-electron lasers to MeV accelerator-based electron sources—paired with faster and larger-area detectors. While the depth and precision of measurements have vastly improved, the explosion of raw data now poses a significant challenge, making it increasingly difficult to extract meaningful insights them.
Recognizing this growing challenge, I have devoted the last decade to harnessing the power of emerging machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to find breakthroughs. My focus has been on not only accelerating the extraction of knowledge from intricate, multi-dimensional, and often noisy measurements but also on making data collection smarter. By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, I aim to transform how we approach material science and deepen our understanding of material behavior and device performance. -
Derek Mendez
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordComputational staff scientist at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), in the Macromolecular Crystallography group (Structural and Molecular Biology division).
Main activities revolve around a 3 year BRaVE-funded project to build a new X-ray resource for the acceleration of medicines development (XMeD). Active in-silico areas of research are in the characterization of crystallization outcomes, virtual and experimental screening of ligands, in-silico methods for lead molecule optimization, and extremely sensitive absorption profile characterization using machine learning techniques. A major computational goal is to determine the most valuable tools (and develop new ones) for future XMeD users.
Beyond XMeD, we are focusing on using GPUs and machine learning models to accelerate processing and characterization of user diffraction data that is collected at SSRL beamlines 12-1, 12-2, 14-1, and 9-2. In addition, we are aiming to make available to users new methods that process X-ray diffraction data at the pixel-level in order to extract more information to better resolve structural changes in proteins arising from e.g., binding events and light/chemical driven dynamics.
We are also partnering with NERSC to build a framework for our beamline users to offload computationally intensive jobs to the Perlmutter GPU cluster.
