Marcelo Clerici-Arias, an ABD in Economics from Stanford University, worked in 1996-1997 as Assistant Professor at the Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina and from 1998 to 2001 as Associate Director of the Introductory Economics Center at Stanford University. His main research areas are game theory, computational economics, and teaching and learning.

As CTL Associate Director for Social Sciences and Technology since July 2001, Marcelo has two main responsibilities. First, he offers teaching support, training, and resources to Social Sciences faculty, departments, and teaching assistants (both graduate and undergraduate students). In his second role, he specializes in pedagogical uses of technology, assisting faculty, departments, and teaching assistants throughout Stanford (not just in the Social Sciences) while also partnering with other technology offices on campus.

For over fifteen years, Marcelo has been teaching undergraduate courses at Stanford's Department of Economics, from principles of micro- and macroeconomics to upper-level courses in computational economics, game theory, and economic policy. He has researched innovative pedagogies used in economics and other social and natural sciences, resulting in invitations to be a keynote speaker as well as a presenter at national and international conferences and institutions, to participate in NSF-sponsored projects, and to co-edit an economics textbook.

Since 1999, Marcelo and his wife Alejandra Hermandinger have been Resident Fellows at Cedro, an all-frosh residence in Wilbur Hall.

On the personal side of things, Marcelo is a photographer, plays (and used to coach) soccer, and above all enjoys time with his wife, Alejandra, and their two children, Federico and Andrea.
