Luis de Lecea
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical and Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab uses molecular, optogenetic, anatomical and behavioral methods to identify and manipulate the neuronal circuits underlying brain arousal, with particular attention to sleep and wakefulness transitions. We are also interested in the changes that occur in neuronal circuits in conditions of hyperarousal such as stress and drug addiction.

Luciana de O. Torres
Graduate, Vice Provost and Dean of Research
BioI am a Brazilian judge with nearly a decade of experience in the judiciary, committed to delivering fair, efficient, and well-reasoned decisions within a complex legal system. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong interest in how technology can enhance access to justice and improve institutional performance.
I hold a Master’s degree in Law and Technology from Cornell University, where I deepened my understanding of the intersection between legal systems and emerging technologies. This experience strengthened my commitment to innovation and inspired me to explore practical applications of artificial intelligence in the legal field.
I am now seeking to further advance my knowledge in technology and artificial intelligence in order to develop creative, impactful solutions that address real-world challenges. My goal is to contribute to initiatives that improve people's lives, promote efficiency in public institutions, and expand access to justice through thoughtful and responsible use of technology. -

Patty de Vries
Casual - Other Teaching Staff, Continuing Studies
BioPatty (Purpur '89') de Vries was born and raised in North Dakota. She received a full athletic scholarship to Stanford University, graduating in 1989 with a BA in Psychology. Patty became a 9-time NCAA All-American in the shot put and discus and competed in the 1988 Olympic Trials.
In 1995, Patty founded TimeOut Services, Inc., a pioneering wellness company that grew to over 100 employees and $5 million in annual revenue. Her team was instrumental in designing some of the original corporate wellness programs for leading organizations including Google, Cisco, Yahoo!, Safeway, and KLA-Tencor. In 2009, she sold the corporate wellness division and trademarked the Community BootCamp© program to Plus One of New York (now part of Optum).
Patty’s honors include the Key to the City of Grand Forks, North Dakota, *Business Journal* Top Women in Business, and recognition as one of the Top 50 Influential Women of Silicon Valley.
From 2013 to 2022, Patty supported wellness initiatives across the Stanford enterprise, including Stanford University, Stanford Health Care, Stanford Children's Health, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, helping to advance innovative approaches to well-being, resilience, and leadership.
Today, Patty and her husband, Greg de Vries, are the founders of Living Well USA, where they lead immersive, nature-based workshops and leadership experiences on their 4.5-acre sanctuary in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Through her work, Patty integrates practical neuroscience, mindfulness, and nature-based practices to help individuals and organizations elevate performance, strengthen psychological safety, and design lives of greater clarity, energy, and purpose.
