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. -
Chris Mentzel
Managing Director of Research and Campus Engagement, Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)
BioChris leads Stanford’s efforts in research and early-career development around data science and data-driven discovery, engaging the entire campus in advancing and applying new data science and AI theory and practice to accelerate research.
Previously, Chris started and led the Moore Foundation's Data-Driven Discovery Initiative, an $80 million effort within the Science Program to enable data scientists to turn the scientific data deluge into opportunities to address some of today's most important research questions. He also led the grants administration department and worked as senior network engineer for the foundation. Chris has held positions as a systems engineer and integrator at the University of California, Berkeley, and at various Internet consulting firms in the Bay Area. An active member of the broader big data and open science communities, Chris serves on a number of advisory boards and program committees and speaks frequently at conferences and workshops on topics related to data-driven research.
Chris received a B.A. in mathematics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and an M.Sc. in management science and engineering at Stanford University. -

Bennet Meyers
Adjunct Professor, Electrical Engineering
BioI am a Staff Scientist with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in the Grid Integration Systems and Mobility (GISMo) Lab in the Applied Energy Division. I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in Winter 2023, advised by Prof. Stephen Boyd. We recently wrote a book on signal decomposition, which can be found under my publications tab. More info available on my personal website.

Debra Meyerson
Adjunct Professor, GSE Faculty Affairs
BioTenured Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior from 2003 to 2013. Transitioned to adjunct professor in 2013 after a severe stroke in 2010.
While full time at Stanford and previously, Debra Meyerson conducted research primarily in three areas: a) gender and race relations in organizations, specifically individual and organizational strategies of change aimed at removing inequities and fostering productive inter-group relations; b) the role of philanthropic organizations as intermediaries in fostering change within educational institutions; and c) going to scale in the charter school field. Debra authored Tempered Radicals: How People Use Difference to Inspire Change at Work (HBS Press 2001), which provides an in depth look into how people can use diversity and difference to create positive change in the workplace without division or strife.
Nine years after her stroke in 2010, Debra published Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves After Stroke (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2019.) The book is built on the combination of her lived experience as a survivor with disabilities and extensive interviews and research; it highlights the need for significantly more support than is provided in the current system to rebuild identity on the path to rebuilding lives of meaning and purpose. Debra also and co-founded Stroke Onward, a nonprofit now dedicated to catalyzing change in the healthcare system in order to insure survivors in the future receive that support. As co-Chair and active volunteer for Stroke Onward, Debra's focus is on driving research and publications that will help to better understand the problems and solutions that can inform the creation of a better healthcare system. She is also an extensive speaker in academic and industry settings.
