Ted Mau, MD, PhD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor in the School of Medicine
BioDr. Ted Mau is a board-certified, fellowship-trained laryngologist with Stanford Health Care Ear, Nose, and Throat. He is also a professor in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery and chief of the Division of Laryngology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Mau came to Stanford in 2025 following 17 years at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, where he was director of the Voice Center and vice chair of research for the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
Dr. Mau’s clinical practice focuses on disorders of the voice, airway, and swallowing. He has particular interest in vocal fold and laryngeal lesions, voice problems, vocal fold paralysis, recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries, and laryngeal dystonia. He is an expert in microlaryngeal surgeries, including laser surgeries of the larynx and airway. He also has extensive experience with laryngeal framework surgery for the treatment of vocal fold paralysis, as well as in-office procedures for vocal fold and larynx lesions.
As a physician-scientist, Dr. Mau engages in clinical and laboratory research in voice science and voice disorders. He has served as principal investigator or co-investigator on several National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded projects, including computational voice simulation, development of ultrafast laser microlaryngeal surgery, sensory contributions to voice disorders, and central neuromodulation as a treatment for recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries. Dr. Mau was a site investigator for a DNA therapeutic vaccine clinical trial for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. He has served on several NIH study sections.
Dr. Mau served as associate editor of laryngology for The Laryngoscope, a leading journal in the field of otolaryngology. He has published articles in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Voice, The Laryngoscope, and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
Dr. Mau is a fellow of the American Laryngological Association (ALA) and the Triological Society. He is also a member of the American Broncho-Esophagological Association and the secretary of the ALA Council. -
Michaëlle Ntala Mayalu
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
BioDr. Michaëlle N. Mayalu is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. She received her Ph.D., M.S., and B.S., degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology in the Computing and Mathematical Sciences Department. She was a 2017 California Alliance Postdoctoral Fellowship Program recipient and a 2019 Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Program award recipient. She is also a 2023 Hypothesis Fund Grantee.
Dr. Michaëlle N. Mayalu's area of expertise is in mathematical modeling and control theory of synthetic biological and biomedical systems. She is interested in the development of control theoretic tools for understanding, controlling, and predicting biological function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels to optimize therapeutic intervention.
She is the director of the Mayalu Lab whose research objective is to investigate how to optimize biomedical therapeutic designs using theoretical and computational approaches coupled with experiments. Initial project concepts include: i) theoretical and experimental design of bacterial "microrobots" for preemptive and targeted therapeutic intervention, ii) system-level multi-scale modeling of gut associated skin disorders for virtual evaluation and optimization of therapy, iii) theoretical and experimental design of "microrobotic" swarms of engineered bacteria with sophisticated centralized and decentralized control schemes to explore possible mechanisms of pattern formation. The experimental projects in the Mayalu Lab utilize established techniques borrowed from the field of synthetic biology to develop synthetic genetic circuits in E. coli to make bacterial "microrobots". Ultimately the Mayalu Lab aims to develop accurate and efficient modeling frameworks that incorporate computation, dynamical systems, and control theory that will become more widespread and impactful in the design of electro-mechanical and biological therapeutic machines.
