Who Is Stanford EdTech?

As the team’s Learning Innovation Specialist, Peter opts to leverage emerging technologies and learning design to create impactful educational experiences within biomedical education, and beyond. Prior to Stanford, Peter has worked as a computational biologist (ask him about evolutionary game theory!), a teacher (dare him to recite an excerpt from Campbell’s Biology, 8th Edition!), and an EdTech product implementation manager (reach out for tips and tricks on how to navigate vendors as an introvert!).

Outside of work, you can find Peter…absolutely nowhere outdoors! He is either championing escape rooms and playing board games, binging TV shows and marathoning movies, or dining at the trendiest, most overhyped eateries that Instagram influencers have convinced him are absolutely worth it..

Lauren joined the production team as a digital media specialist in 2015.  She enjoys experimentation and working on projects where it feels more like play than work and where she can try something new. You may find her designing graphics, recording sound on live production shoots, and animating characters and visuals for web-based courses and projects in production. She also likes to create simple interactive experiences using animation and code.

When not in a hermit mode learning  and experimenting with designs and sounds, she enjoys small adventures: like traveling to a new place, going to a concert, or visiting an amusement park on an off day. She also enjoys collecting seasonings and spices for cooking and playing many games involving rubber bands and corks with her cat.

Marty is a Learning Technology Specialist who provides tech assistance to instructors at the School of Medicine, supports Stanford's learning management systems, and helps the EdTech team adopt innovative technology for teaching and learning. Prior to joining EdTech, Marty completed his undergraduate degree in Computer Science at Princeton University, and he hopes to eventually get a PhD in computational biology.

Outside of his academic and professional interests, Marty is also passionate about singing & songwriting, spending time outdoors, staying active, traveling, and cooking & eating good food with good people!
