Markus Pelger
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHis research focuses on understanding and managing financial risk. He develops mathematical financial models and statistical methods, analyzes financial data and engineers computational techniques. His research is divided into three streams: machine learning solutions to big-data problems in empirical asset pricing, statistical theory for high-dimensional data and stochastic financial modeling.

Gary Peltz
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Department Research)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe laboratory develops and uses state of the art genomic methods to identify genetic factors affecting disease susceptibility, and to translate these findings into new treatments. We have developed a more efficient method for performing mouse genetic analysis, which has been used to analyze the genetic basis for 16 different biomedical traits. We are developing novel methods, and have developed a novel experimental platform that replaces mouse liver with functioning human liver tissue.

Tara Peña
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioTara Peña is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where she is working with Prof. Eric Pop and is supported by the NSF MPS-Ascend postdoctoral fellowship. Peña received her Ph.D. (2023) in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from the University of Rochester, where she won the university-wide Provost’s Fellowship then the nationwide NSF GRFP award. Before obtaining her doctorate, she earned a M.S. degree in ECE from the University of Rochester (2019) and a B.S. degree in Physics from Adelphi University (2017). Peña’s research interests include strain engineering nanomaterials to uncover advanced device structures.

Megan Marie Pendleton
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioMegan Pendleton MD, PhD is a graduate of Stanford Emergency Medicine residency and was a former NASA engineer. She earned her MD from UCSF and prior to this earned her Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech, and her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley. Her doctoral research, in collaboration with NASA Ames, examined the effects of spaceflight radiation on the human body, particularly on fracture risk. Before medicine she worked at NASA Johnson Space Center on spacesuit and Orion seat design. She is originally from Austin, Texas.
Her academic interests center on the intersection of space medicine and innovation of translational medical devices. Her work explores how technologies developed for human spaceflight can then be adapted to improve patient care in telehealth, pre-hospital medicine and the Emergency Department. Dr. Pendleton also loves to design visually driven lectures in emergency medicine and developed medicinewithmegan.com, an open-access educational platform featuring high-yield clinical teaching topics.
Outside of medicine, she loves to scuba dive and is a licensed private pilot. Ask her about diving all over the world: Fiji, Thailand, Palau, Cabo Pulmo, Bonaire, Turks, Grand Cayman, Hawaii, Panama, Galapagos. She is always looking for new recommendations and happy to send some as well. -
Jeffrey Peng, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor (Affiliated), Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Peng is a board-certified specialist in sports medicine and family medicine. He provides care for athletes of all ages and enjoys helping everyday patients achieve and sustain a healthy, active lifestyle. His expertise includes orthobiologics, such as platelet-rich plasma, and ultrasound-guided minimally invasive techniques to treat osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
Outside of work, Dr. Peng enjoys reading, exercising, cooking, spending time with his wife, and creating fun mischief with his daughter and son. He is also fluent in Mandarin. -
