Masataka Wada
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Masataka (he/him/his) is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a board-certified psychiatrist and holds a PhD in neuroscience.
His clinical and research interests center on psychiatric disorders in treatment-resistant conditions. To address these challenges, Dr. Masataka is engaged in exploring electrophysiological, neuroimaging, and neuromodulation techniques, including repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). He spearheaded a significant Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) that involved 180 patients with treatment-resistant depression, aiming to develop an innovative rTMS-based treatment. His efforts have led to him receiving awards at international conferences on three occasions for his significant contributions.
Dr. Masataka's scholarly work includes publications on the electrophysiological characteristics of psychiatric disorders and the effects of neuromodulation on clinical symptoms and neuroimaging features. Additionally, he has been the recipient of two scholarships and three grants, further highlighting his contributions to the field. -

Jeff R. Wade
It Infrastructure & Data Engineer, Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory (HEPL)
Staff, Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory (HEPL)BioJeff Wade is an IT Infrastructure & Data Engineer supporting research computing at Stanford University. He specializes in designing, securing, and maintaining reliable, high-uptime environments for scientific research.
Current Role:
After decades in full-time IT infrastructure, data systems engineering at Stanford, Jeff is currently supporting the Fermi Large Area Telescope and Varian as a contract specialist. His transition from full-time was the result of university-wide budget reductions. His work ensures the continuity of essential research projects.
Previous Roles and Achievements:
* Developed and managed high-availability server infrastructure, including redundant systems and real-time data replication using DRBD, to protect critical research data and provide seamless failover during outages.
* Supported network, security, servers, and storage for the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC).
* Established and maintained secure data communication with the Gemini Planet Imager project, enabling real-time data retrieval from observatories in the Chilean Andes.
* Maintained dedicated fiber connections between NASA White Sands (NM) and Stanford for the Solar Observatories Group, supporting uninterrupted scientific data flows.
* Built and maintained legacy computing systems—including Cray supercomputers and the SciBase database.
* Played a key operational role for Gravity Probe B: managed the mission operations center, retrieved live spacecraft data, flew the satellite from Stanford, and mentored Air Force Academy cadets on satellite operation and mission procedures.
* Developed a simulator for the LIGO Engineering Test Facility, supporting gravitational wave research initiatives.
* Consistently recognized for a methodical, reliable approach and a commitment to data security, continuity, and collaborative problem-solving.
Jeff has been recognized with outstanding performance reviews throughout his career at Stanford. His institutional knowledge and technical expertise have supported some of Stanford’s most complex research projects, enabling scientific discovery and ensuring operational resilience for over three decades. -
Lynn C. Waelde, Ph.D.
Adjunct Clinical Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioLynn C. Waelde, Ph.D. is an Adjunct Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine and Professor Emeritus in the Psychology Department at Palo Alto University. Dr. Waelde’s many collaborative publications address the impacts of traumatic events and ways to use mindfulness and meditation to promote resilience and recovery from stress and trauma. She founded and directed the Inner Resources Center which offered intervention groups and trainings to thousands of participants, clients, and therapists over the past 15 years. Dr. Waelde is the author of Mindfulness and Meditation in Trauma Treatment: The Inner Resources for Stress Program, published in 2022. She has taken a special interest in family caregivers and the Inner Resources for Stress program has been named a Best Practice by the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging. She recently coauthored Family Caregiver Distress, which is forthcoming in 2023. She is on the editorial board of Journal of Traumatic Stress and an Associate Editor of Mindfulness.
