Lauren Abrahams
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics
BioAs a theoretical geophysicist, my focus is on numerical modeling of natural hazards. Previous work includes studying the rupture dynamics from tectonics setting to Antarctic ice streams. My current thesis focus is on the modeling of earthquake tsunamigenesis.
In addition to my thesis work, I am passionate about improving diversity and inclusion practices in academia. -
Aakash Ahamed
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics
BioAakash Ahamed (BS, with honors, Franklin and Marshall College; MSc, Boston College; PhD Candidate, Stanford University) is a hydrologist developing scientific methods for satellite and airborne remote sensing measurements with applications to water resources, natural hazards, and agricultural systems. As a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geophysics, his current doctoral project focuses on modeling, monitoring, and forecasting key hydrologic components of the Central Valley Aquifer System in California using techniques in data assimilation and machine learning. Aakash previously worked as a support scientist in the Hydrological Sciences Lab at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, where he constructed satellite-based models of flood and landslide hazards. He has also developed remote sensing analyses and software at Ceres Imaging, a successful precision agriculture start up based in Silicon Valley, and interned as a GIS analyst at the World Wildlife Fund for Nature in Washington, DC.

Garrett Albistegui Adler
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsGarrett is interested in better understanding connections between environmental variability (and change) and human security. In particular, he works to explore relationships between climate variability and violent conflict, and hopes to better identify some of the mechanisms that may link these phenomena.

Mathieu Ardyna
Affiliate, Department of Earth System Science
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Department of Earth System ScienceBioI am a biological oceanographer interested in understanding phytoplankton dynamics in polar environments. My main research focuses on how environnemental drivers and changes are altering phytoplankton phenology, productivity and structure. In both polar regions (i.e., the Arctic and Southern oceans), climate change is drastically affecting the interplay between the atmosphere, the cryosphere and the oceans. My recent work, conducted with collaborators, shows how these fragile polar ecosystems are responding to warmer, more acidic and longer sea-ice free oceans by combining satellite, field and autonomous platform observations.

Inês M.L. Azevedo
Associate Professor of Energy Resources Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProfessor Azevedo is passionate about solving problems that include environmental, technical, economic, and policy issues, where traditional engineering approaches play an important role but cannot provide a complete answer. In particular, she is interested in assessing how energy systems are likely to evolve, which requires comprehensive knowledge of the technologies that can address future energy needs and the decision-making process followed by various agents in the economy.
