Tina Hernandez-Boussard
Professor of Medicine (Biomedical Informatics), of Biomedical Data Science, of Surgery and, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy background and expertise is in the field of computational biology, with concentration in health services research. A key focus of my research is to apply novel methods and tools to large clinical datasets for hypothesis generation, comparative effectiveness research, and the evaluation of quality healthcare delivery. My research involves managing and manipulating big data, which range from administrative claims data to electronic health records, and applying novel biostatistical techniques to innovatively assess clinical and policy related research questions at the population level. This research enables us to create formal, statistically rigid, evaluations of healthcare data using unique combinations of large datasets.

Daniel Herschlag
Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research is aimed at understanding the chemical and physical behavior underlying biological macromolecules and systems, as these behaviors define the capabilities and limitations of biology. Toward this end we study folding and catalysis by RNA, as well as catalysis by protein enzymes.

Shea Hess Webber
Physical Science Research Scientist
Bio***EDUCATION:***
Dr. Hess Webber received a BS in Physics from Gettysburg College in 2009. She subsequently joined the Computational Data Sciences PhD program (formerly, Computational Science and Informatics) at George Mason University, with a specialty in Astrophysics and Space Sciences. Her PhD thesis work was entitled "Solar f-mode Wave Scattering Off Linear Source Boundaries" and she successfully completed her PhD in late 2016 (also earning an MS along the way -- 2012).
***EXPERIENCE:***
Dr. Hess Webber began her career in solar physics research in 2005, as a summer intern in the Solar Physics Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. She continued collaborating with scientists at Goddard through undergrad, mainly working in solar coronal hole studies using SOHO/EIT data but also collaborating briefly on solar flare studies with the RHESSI team. She began working at GSFC full-time as a graduate research assistant in 2009. Her initial GRA work continued the ongoing coronal hole detection research, extending the data set with SDO/AIA images and improving the detection technique. The core of Dr. Hess Webber's dissertation considered coronal holes using helioseismology, investigating how surface waves on the Sun are influenced when passing through a coronal hole and whether wave perturbations can be used to isolate coronal hole boundaries. In doing so, she developed a new geometry-dependent helioseismic technique and showed that the geometry of a "scattering feature" is non-negligible in helioseismology studies. After defending her PhD, Dr. Hess Webber continued as a contracted postdoctoral researcher at GSFC for a year, collaborating on CME-tracking methods. In early 2018, she began as a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the W. W. Hansen Experimental Physics Lab's solar physics group. Currently, Dr. Hess Webber is continuing as research staff with the HEPL solar physics team, where her main research projects include helioseismic studies, and machine-learning applied to solar magnetism to enable improved coronal/solar-wind models for space-weather forecasting.
***LEADERSHIP:***
Dr. Hess Webber is currently an elected member of the AAS Solar Physics Division Committee. She is also a co-lead of the COFFIES Center Effectiveness Team.
***BROADER IMPACTS***
Dr. Hess Webber also has extensive experience with Education and Public Outreach in solar physics, and some experience with science policy. She is currently on the KIPAC Equity & Inclusion Task Forces for 1) Mental Health and 2) Mentoring. She also actively participates in the COFFIES DEIA and Beans initiatives, as well as organizes the Stanford Solar Physics Summer Student program.
