Caroline Alexa Famiglietti
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
BioCaroline Famiglietti is a PhD candidate working with Prof. Alexandra Konings. She studies the terrestrial carbon cycle, focusing on understanding and reducing uncertainties in model projections of its behavior. In 2017, Caroline graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and a minor in Geography/Environmental Studies. Her prior research experience includes work in the Carbon Cycle & Ecosystems group at NASA JPL from 2017-2018 and in the UC Berkeley Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in 2016.

Safari Fang
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSafari is interested in the intersection of the ocean, global food systems, and human behavior—especially in how aquaculturists and fishers in developing countries make decisions related to natural resources. In particular, she is studying small-scale aquaculture and fisheries and how policy, markets, social learning networks, and climate change affect their sustainable development. Do aquaculture and fisheries contribute to food security in developing countries? How do environmental and policy changes affect the mental models of aquaculturists and fishers? How can policy, markets, and philanthropy support sustainable aquaculture and fisheries and ensure the livelihoods of the people involved in them?

Jill Grey Ferguson
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
BioJill Grey Ferguson is pursuing a PhD student in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources. Jill is also the co-founder of LibertyHomes, a nonprofit dedicated to scaling inclusive utility investment systems with robust consumer protections that make home energy upgrades accessible to all people without credit checks, upfront cost, or debt. Prior to starting LibertyHomes, Jill was a Truman-Albright Fellow at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy where she led the Rural Research Initiative. She has worked at the US Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy as a solar technology fellow and as a photovoltaic cell researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Jill earned a bachelor of science in material science engineering from the University of Virginia.

Chris Field
Melvin and Joan Lane Professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies, Director, Woods Institute for the Environment, Professor of Earth System Science, of Biology and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
My field is climate-change science, and my research emphasizes human-ecological interactions across many disciplines. Most studies include aspects of ecology, but also aspects of law, sociology, medicine, or engineering. -
Josue Fonseca
Ph.D. Student in Energy Resources Engineering
BioI consider me as a pragmatic, easy-going and technical person. I always trying to be with good humor, as a try to calm down the natural aging. My goal is to help providing the best kind of energy to humanity using technical concepts.
My academic background is in physics, B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - Brazil. I worked for 9 years in the petroleum industry - Petrobras - before start the PhD program. My job involve a variety of quantitative methods applied to geosciences, such as rock-physics, quantitative reservoir characterization, geomodelling applications and geologic velocity model building.
As a geophysicist, my main objective is to combine concepts from several disciplines and sources to extract valuable information from subsurface measurements, specially from seismic data. I am a firm believer that this sort of integration must be achieved by means of computational models. -
Cedric Fraces

Laura Frouté
Ph.D. Student in Energy Resources Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on developing high-resolution imaging methodologies applicable to shale, using μCT, FIB-SEM, and STEM techniques at ambient and cryogenic temperatures. Multiscale datasets with structural, mineralogical and microfluidic information down to nanometer resolution will provide a better understanding of pore network morphology and connectivity, fluid-rock affinities, relevant scales for hydrocarbon transport, and displacement processes during production.

Paul Furumo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioPaul R. Furumo is an interdisciplinary environmental scientist focused on sustainable land use in the tropics. His current research seeks to scale up zero-deforestation commodity production through improved governance solutions at the interface between public and private sectors. His research integrates remotely sensed data, policy analysis, and expert interviews to understand how policymaking influences land use decisions. A major goal is to enhance the temporal and spatial targeting of instruments to unlock policy synergies that advance climate and development targets.
His past and current research experiences have focused on coupled human-natural systems in Latin America, with a specialization in the Colombian palm oil sector. In Colombia, Paul has pursued his research as a Fulbright fellow and a National Geographic Explorer. His work engages a broad coalition of stakeholders including governments, businesses, civil society, and underrepresented communities. He has brought his science to these stakeholder groups through fieldwork, education and outreach in industry fora, co-development of research, and mentoring of Latin American students.
