Megumi E. Takada
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2021
Graduate Program Assistant, Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP)BioMegumi Takada is a doctoral candidate in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University. Her research centers around children’s literacy experiences in the elementary school years, with a special interest in designing literacy instruction that promotes student agency and school belonging. Her most recent work focuses on translingual and multimodal writing, working with elementary school teachers to co-design writing instruction that leverages multilingual students' everyday language and literacy practices. Her work is driven by her former experience as a public school teacher in South Korea and Seattle, as well as her transnational, translingual experiences growing up cross-culturally in California and Japan. She is a recipient of the Fulbright teaching fellowship and graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in neuroscience and elementary teaching credentials.
スタンフォード大学教育学部で博士課程の研究を進めています。研究は主に小学生の読み書き・バイリンガル教育についてです。デザイン思考を取り入れて近所の公立小学校と連携しながら研究をしています。読み書きの授業に生徒達のアイデンティティ・言語・文化などを取り込んで、子どもたちにとって学校が居心地の良い場所、興味を持って楽しく勉強できる場所にしていこうと思っています。スタンフォード大学入学前は韓国で英語の先生として働き、その後はシアトルの公立小学校で１年生の担任をしていました。主にアメリカで生まれ育ちましたが、高校の間は関西で過ごしました。今後もこのような研究を通して、バイリンガル・マルチリンガルの子ども達、日本とアメリカを行き来する子ども達を支援できたらと思っています。 -
Sho Takatori
Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering
BioPeople say that a picture is worth a thousand words. We think that an equation is worth a thousand pictures. Literally. By collecting and processing data-rich images of complex fluids and matter, we develop “picture-perfect” equations to learn structure-property relationships for new material innovation.
In the Takatori lab, we combine theory, simulation, and experiment to discover mathematical models for complex fluids in engineered and natural environments. We use advanced microscopy and analyze pictures with data-driven methods to understand material properties that bridge the microscopic-to-continuum scales. Our research encompasses soft squishy materials like polymers and liquid crystals, as well as granular matter like sand, powders, and foams.
Outside of research, I have had a strong passion for public speaking since high school, taking speech courses in college and competing in speech contests in Toastmasters International (a professional organization to improve public speaking and leadership skills) for several years as a PhD student. More recently, as a professor and educator, I have channeled my passion for speaking towards science education and technical communication. I have always believed that effective science communication can make broad impacts to society by building public trust in science, promoting data-driven decisions in government and industry, and improving the accessibility of science to all communities. I look forward to continue working on effective science communication skills and storytelling techniques with Stanford graduate students and researchers. -
Moe Takenoshita
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioI’m a clinician‑scientist with expertise in perioperative care and maternal health, bridging evidence-based medicine, equity, and implementation science.
I’m currently taking a leading role in a multicenter, longitudinal NIH‑funded study with Stanford University’s Department of Anesthesiology—aimed at improving maternal outcomes. In addition, I lead multiple international research studies in maternal care, with research experience both in the United Kingdom and the United States, giving me valuable cross‑system insights.
I’m passionate about translating clinical passion into tangible impact, ensuring that technological solutions are designed with the patients' and their communities in mind. If you’re working in perioperative medicine, global maternal health, or translational medicine, let’s connect to explore collaborative opportunities. -

Tadashi Takeuchi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioDr. Tadashi Takeuchi is a physician-scientist and postdoctoral scholar in the Sonnenburg Laboratory at Stanford University. He earned his MD and PhD from Keio University, Japan, and completed his residency training in internal medicine and his diabetology fellowship at St. Luke’s International Hospital, Japan. Throughout his training, he has studied host–microbe interactions in the intestine with a focus on the influence of dietary nutrients. His PhD studies with Hiroshi Ohno, MD, PhD, at RIKEN IMS, Japan, focused on the impact of dietary short-chain fatty acids on intestinal immunity, culminating in a first-author publication in Nature. Leveraging his expertise in diabetology, he also investigated host–microbe interactions in metabolic disease during his PhD, ranging from mechanistic studies to human multi-omics, resulting in multiple first-author publications in Nature and Cell Metabolism. At Stanford, Dr. Takeuchi integrates clinical training, immunology, computational multi-omics, and bacterial genetics to develop strategies that establish robust, diet-guided colonization by therapeutic commensals. His long-term goal is to translate these insights into microbiome-based interventions for human diseases. His work has been recognized with the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independent Award and Stanford School of Medicine Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship, among multiple early-career awards.

David Camacho Talavera
Clinical Instructor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. David Talavera earned his doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston where he worked in the Culture, Risk, and Reliance Lab. His research focused on examining the impact of race/ethnicity and acculturation in health outcomes and anxiety. His broader interests included developing culturally sensitive interventions for those suffering from chronic illness and pain. Dr. Talavera completed an APA-accredited Psychology Internship at the Cambridge Health Alliance/Harvard Medical school. He primarily worked at the Latino Mental Health Clinic, but also had rotations in Primary Care, the Acute Psychological Services, and the Psychology Emergency Services. It was at these sites where he gained added training in behavioral medicine, culturally competent care, and Spanish-language mental health services. Collectively, for Dr. Talavera, these experiences highlighted the critical role of race, ethnicity, and culture have on an individual’s experience of stress and health. As a result, he aims to incorporate these multicultural factors into his treatment and evaluation.
After internship, in 2019 he completed an APA-accredited Fellowship in Pain Psychology at Stanford University School of Medicine in the Department of Anesthesiology, Division of Pain. Dr. Talavera is currently a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Anesthesia and works in the Stanford Pain Management Center. Dr. Talavera's professional interests include expanding pain psychology treatment modalities for underrepresented groups and Spanish-speaking populations. He aims to expand these services within the Stanford Health Care system and continue to teach/supervise on multicultural factors within pain psychology. -
