Sasa Caval
Administrative Assistant, Contingent
Staff,BioDr Saša Čaval is an archaeologist whose research explores how landscapes, memory, and material culture shape communities across time. She leads the ERC project STONE, examining the origins and meanings of the medieval stećci tombstones of the Western Balkans. Her work integrates archaeology, geoarchaeology, and digital heritage technologies to study long-term human–environment relationships.
At Stanford, Dr Čaval is affiliated with the Stanford Archaeology Center and the Institute for Research in Social Sciences. She also works with the Mauritian Archaeology and Cultural Heritage project group, connecting archaeology with post-colonial histories and community-based conservation. She also contributes to GeoAI, Slovenia’s national research programme applying artificial intelligence to cultural-heritage risk modelling.
A Marie Skłodowska-Curie alumna (University of Reading, UK) and active member of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (Coordinator for the West Coast), she promotes inclusive, ethically grounded research that links local communities, digital innovation, and global heritage stewardship. -
Alejandro Sebastian Cazzulino
Clinical Instructor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioI am originally from New York City. I went to Columbia University, where I earned my BA in Neuroscience and Behavior. I then went to the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my MD. I then moved to the West Coast and completed my orthopedic surgery residency training at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I am now an Adult Reconstruction Fellow in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University.

Katie Cederberg
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Cederberg is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the Mignot Lab, where she devotes her time to conducting research leveraging large datasets and machine learning approaches aimed at better understanding the relationship among genetics, proteomics and the presence and severity of symptoms related to sleep disorders. Her research further focuses on studying the effectiveness of exercise for managing symptoms of sleep disorders, primarily restless legs syndrome (RLS) and co-occurring conditions (e.g., periodic limb movements and insomnia). Her current research explores patients’ experiences with exercise and RLS, as well as the relationship between exercise and proteomic biomarkers of RLS. She received her PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and her dissertation used a series of methodological approaches to comprehensively examine the relationship between physical activity and RLS in adults who have multiple sclerosis. She is using her experience and training to develop a line of research for identifying the mechanism of action for the effect of exercise and informing exercise prescription parameters for managing symptoms of RLS.

Lynette Cegelski
Monroe E. Spaght Professor of Chemistry and Professor, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch in the Cegelski laboratory is driven by the need to uncover and define the chemistry that underlies outstanding challenges in human health, the environment, and sustainability. Beyond discovery, we use chemistry as a tool to innovate and create solutions to these pressing problems. The laboratory is highly interdisciplinary, designing experimental approaches to understand how complex biological systems are built, organized, and controlled, and then perturb and influence assembly processes. The lab develops new methods and uniquely leverages: (1) small molecules in new biochemical assay development, chemical genetics approaches, and therapeutic discovery in infectious diseases, (2) fluorescence and electron microscopy coupled to analytical HPLC, mass spectrometry, and complementary biochemical techniques, and (3) spectroscopy, particularly solid-state NMR, to uncover new “dark matter” and define chemistry in insoluble, heterogeneous and complex assemblies relevant to human health, plants, and the ocean.
Long-standing efforts in the laboratory focus on defining mechanisms underlying bacterial biofilm formation and identifying new antibiotic and anti-virulence strategies, including advancing therapeutic candidates for the most difficult-to-treat infections. Through these efforts, we uncovered a new chemical structure in nature: phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) cellulose. Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth and this discovery provided the first experimental validation of a naturally produced chemically modified cellulose. We are developing alternatively modified celluloses and polysaccharides and advancing new solutions for ecofriendly, sustainably sourced, and recyclable materials. Collectively, our projects span disciplines from molecular structure and assembly chemistry to living microbial communities and natural marine systems, while aiming to translate fundamental discoveries into therapeutic and materials solutions. -
Bettia Edith Celestin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on advanced echocardiographic imaging of the right heart and pulmonary circulation, with a strong emphasis on integrating artificial intelligence and deep learning into clinical cardiology. I led cardiovascular phenotyping for NIH-funded immune aging cohort and am developing a research program in women's cardiovascular health, including sex-specific imaging phenotypes and the cardiovascular consequences of adverse pregnancy outcomes across the menopausal transition.

Carlos Centeno Lairet
Affiliate, Ethics In Society
BioCarlos is a 2026 Ethics & Tech Practitioner Fellow at the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society. He co-founded SOMOS Civic Lab. At the lab, the team is researching and designing tools to democratize generative AI in Global Majority countries. Somos is part of the UNDP AI Trust & Safety Programme, and it's supported by the Pulitzer Center's AI Accountability program. As MIT Emerging Talent Director, he equips learners from migrant and refugee communities with computer science skills. He co-founded and directed MIT's Governance Innovation Initiative, as Associate Director of Innovation; co-designed and launched MIT's first Governance Innovation Research Fellowship, and hosted MIT's "Power to the Who" governance innovation podcast. He was previously at the UN for 10 years, where he worked in community and government preparedness to natural disasters based in Latin America, Asia and Africa. His AI (NLP) prototype ALIA was a Google launchpad finalist in Munich (2018). He has supported investigative journalism projects at Pro Publica on disappearances and detentions by the US federal government.
