Leticia Britos Cavagnaro
Adjunct Professor
BioLeticia Britos Cavagnaro is a scientist-turned-designer working to shape the future of teaching and learning at the Stanford Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school). She holds a PhD from Stanford, at the intersection of Developmental Biology and Computer Science.
Leticia has started and leads several d.school initiatives that support pedagogical innovation globally, such as the Teaching and Learning Studio –an open-enrollment professional development program that has trained over 1000 higher education professors and leaders since 2016– and the Innovative Teaching Scholars program –a collaboration with the Stanford Engineering Center for Global & Online Education to train university educators in Thailand.
She was the founding Deputy Director of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), an NSF-funded initiative to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education across the US that was spearheaded by Stanford's Management Science & Engineering department from 2011 to 2016. With Epicenter as its launchpad, Leticia co-founded, scaled, and spun-off the University Innovation Fellows program, which empowers students globally to be co-designers of their education in collaboration with faculty and leaders at their schools. The program has trained over 3200 Fellows from over 326 universities in 24 countries.
Leticia teaches Capstone Project and Advanced Reflective Practice to graduate students in Stanford’s MS Design program. She also develops tools that leverage emerging technologies like AI to empower learners to be self-directed, action-oriented, and reflective. Riff –the generative AI reflection assistant Leticia developed– is being used by hundreds of educators globally and has supported over 25,000 student reflections in the past year.
Leticia is a thought leader in pedagogical innovation. Her recent book Experiments In Reflection invites us to expand how we see the past and present and to become bold shapers of the future.
She was born in Uruguay and lives in San Francisco with her husband.

Pauline Brochet
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Informatics
BioPauline Brochet is a French scientist from Souraide, France. She completed her undergraduate studies in Molecular, Cellular and Physiological Biology (BSc, Université Clermont-Auvergne) and earned a Master's degree in Software Development and Data Analysis (MSc, Aix-Marseille Université). Pauline pursued a PhD at TAGC (Theories and Approaches for Genomic Complexity) in Marseille, France.
Under the supervision of Dr. Christophe Chevillard and Dr. Lionel Spinelli, Pauline integrated multi-omics data from human heart tissue to investigate the pathogenic processes associated with Chagas Disease Cardiomyopathy (CCC). Notably, she contributed to the development of ChagasDB, the first database associating key features with the different stages of Chagas disease. Her research identified the involvement of mitochondrial DNA mutations, non-coding RNA, transcription factors, and DNA methylation in various pathogenic processes, all leading to the progression of CCC.
Currently, at Stanford University, under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Wheeler and Dr. Daniel Katz, Pauline is conducting postdoctoral research on multi-omics data analysis as part of the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC). Her work focuses on identifying key covariable features associated with physical exercise, with the ultimate goal of discovering exercise-mimetic drugs that could help prevent heart diseases. -
