Krishna Rao
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on developing machine learning algorithms to remotely monitor vegetation health by using microwave remote sensing. I am interested in answering questions such as:
- How can we leverage the vast amounts of data our satellites are capturing to understand the health of our forests?
- How can we obtain information about hydraulic health of vegetation with little or no ground-collected data -
Anna Rasmussen
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a microbial ecologist, generally interested in the connections between microbes and biogeochemical cycling. I use DNA-based and biogeochemical techniques to understand the ecology of nitrogen-cycling bacteria and archaea in the San Francisco Estuary.

Fatemeh Sadat Rassouli
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Geophysics
BioI am a postdoc researcher in the department of Geophysics. I graduated from Stanford University with a Ph.D. degree in 2017, and an MSc degree in 2015 in Geophysics and Seismology. The focus of my research was on the time-dependent behavior of carbonate and clay-rich shales at different reservoir conditions and scales. As a postdoc, I am expanding my previous finding by studying the thermo-viscoplastic behavior of shale rocks.
I hold another MSc degree in Mining Engineering from the University of Tehran, where I conducted impression creep tests to characterize the creep behavior of soft rocks, such as salts mud-rocks and tuffs. I performed these experiments in different laboratories at the University of Tehran, Tokai University of Japan and Toyota National College of Technology. -
Nathan Ratledge
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsNathan studies clean energy and energy access issues in developing economies. Specifically, his research covers the intersection of the economics, business and system design elements, as well as the environmental impacts of energy development.
