Lisa Pineda
Senior Simulations Specialist, Pediatrics - Neonatology
BioLisa received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Athletic Training from San Jose State University, a Master of Science in Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist/Neonatal Emphasis from the University of California San Francisco, and a Post-Graduate Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate from San Francisco State University.
Lisa started her nursing career at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in the Labor and Delivery Unit. It became clear early in her career that research-driven high-quality patient-centered care was integral to her learning and passion for nursing. As a staff nurse, she participated in multiple obstetric simulations at CAPE, and she was immediately drawn to the systematic approach, clear communication, and debriefing process within the simulation methodology. For more than two decades, Lisa’s work has included bedside nursing, advanced practice nursing for women and children, and public health nursing with a particular passion for research dedicated to improving patient outcomes. -

Sarah Pittock
Associate Director for COLLEGE, Stanford Introductory Studies Operations
BioSarah Peterson Pittock PhD recently joined Stanford Introductory Studies as the Associate Director for COLLEGE to support teaching excellence in the first year requirement. Previously, she taught in Stanford’s Program in Writing and Rhetoric developing courses that intersect writing with ethics, education, and medicine. From 2013-2015, she served as Associate Director of the Hume Center, supporting a writing-enriched curriculum through tutor education, writing workshops, graduate writing and speaking programming, and writing pedagogy consultations. From 2017-2022, she also directed Bing Honors College, a September program that accelerates rising seniors' progress on their honors research and writing. Her work has been published in Women's Writing, the WAC Journal, Writing Center Journal, and edited collections.

Andrés A. Plazas Malagón
Physicist-Experimental, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Project Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator LaboratoryBioAndrés A. Plazas Malagón is a Colombian-American astrophysicist who obtained his degree in physics at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. He subsequently moved to the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) to obtain a doctoral degree in physics and astronomy. At Penn, he received the Zaccheus Daniel Foundation for Astronomical Science award. He also became part of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) project, working on weak gravitational lensing and testing the detectors of the Dark Energy Camera used by DES at the Department of Energy Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Fermilab. He continued his work on observational cosmology and weak lensing as a research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where he became part of the Dark Energy Science Collaboration of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). For his work in characterizing systematic errors in weak gravitational lensing, he received in 2016 the Fundación Alejandro Ángel Escobar National Prize in Natural and Exact Sciences, considered the highest scientific recognition in his native Colombia.
He joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2015 as a Caltech Postdoctoral Scholar, working on understanding systematic errors in weak lensing from the infrared detectors that will be used by the wide-field imager of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Dr. Plazas Malagón also has worked as a Research Scientist at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, as part of the Cosmoquest project for community science. Subsequently, he worked at Princeton University as an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences as part of the Algorithms and Pipelines team of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
He currently works as Rubin Operations Scientist in the Rubin Community Science Team as part of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (SLAC/Stanford University).
Dr. Plazas Malagón is also an Affiliate at the Department of Physics of Harvard University, a Visiting Research Scientist at Boston University, and a Visiting Scientist at the Department of Physics of Washington University in St. Louis. He is the founder of the Astronomy on Tap satellite branches in St. Louis and Trenton (NJ), the creator and co-host of the astronomy podcast in Spanish “Visión Cósmica”, the proposer and co-organizer of the first ever Tower Grove Park Astronomy Festival in St. Louis, the proposer and co-organizer of the first-ever outreach event in Spanish at the Harvard College Observatory, and frequently participates in Science Education and Public Outreach events in Spanish and English as a NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador volunteer. -
Rajan Plumley
Visiting Physicist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a PhD Candidate at Carnegie Mellon University and Visiting Physicist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences. My research focuses on using state-of-the-art X-ray facilities such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC to study ultra-fast dynamics in materials. I am especially interested in how X-ray speckle phenomena can be used to understand the role fluctuations play in the emergence of novel quantum phases in low-dimensional materials.
