Michaëlle Ntala Mayalu
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
BioDr. Michaëlle N. Mayalu is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. She received her Ph.D., M.S., and B.S., degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology in the Computing and Mathematical Sciences Department. She was a 2017 California Alliance Postdoctoral Fellowship Program recipient and a 2019 Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Program award recipient. She is also a 2023 Hypothesis Fund Grantee.
Dr. Michaëlle N. Mayalu's area of expertise is in mathematical modeling and control theory of synthetic biological and biomedical systems. She is interested in the development of control theoretic tools for understanding, controlling, and predicting biological function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels to optimize therapeutic intervention.
She is the director of the Mayalu Lab whose research objective is to investigate how to optimize biomedical therapeutic designs using theoretical and computational approaches coupled with experiments. Initial project concepts include: i) theoretical and experimental design of bacterial "microrobots" for preemptive and targeted therapeutic intervention, ii) system-level multi-scale modeling of gut associated skin disorders for virtual evaluation and optimization of therapy, iii) theoretical and experimental design of "microrobotic" swarms of engineered bacteria with sophisticated centralized and decentralized control schemes to explore possible mechanisms of pattern formation. The experimental projects in the Mayalu Lab utilize established techniques borrowed from the field of synthetic biology to develop synthetic genetic circuits in E. coli to make bacterial "microrobots". Ultimately the Mayalu Lab aims to develop accurate and efficient modeling frameworks that incorporate computation, dynamical systems, and control theory that will become more widespread and impactful in the design of electro-mechanical and biological therapeutic machines. -
Yoni Mayeri
Casual - Other Teaching Staff, Continuing Studies
BioYoni Mayeri is a photographer, iPhoneographer, and presenter. She began her photographic career working for Minolta, Polaroid and Nikon,and later had photography studios in San Francisco and Berkeley. An early adopter of the iPhone and technology, her mobile photography focuses on landscape, atmosphere, botanicals and experimental imagery.
Yoni’s work has been published in numerous publications. She has exhibited her iPhoneography at the de Young Museum, 111 Minna Gallery, Kennedy Gallery, Cambridge, Subterranean Art House, The UC Theatre Gallery, The San Francisco International Art Festival, The San Francisco Arts Commission, Markham Winery Gallery, The Jerry Adams Gallery, The Fillmore, The PunchLine Comedy Nightclubs, Pacific Felt Factory, In Space Gallery, and The Durden and Ray Gallery.
Yoni’s popular iPhoneography workshops are regularly presented at UC Berkeley, Stanford University, Stanford Research Park, and Rancho La Puerta. Yoni has lectured on mobile photography at Google, The Computer History Museum, JFK University, St. Mary’s College, The Nueva School, The Pacific Art League, The Garden Club of America, and to numerous corporate groups, schools, and private clients.
