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 PhD candidate in the department of Geophysics. Currently, I am studying the time dependent behavior of carbonate and clay rich shales at different reservoir stress and temperature conditions.
I obtained my M.Sc. in Mining Exploitation at University of Tehran. For my Master’s thesis I worked on new method of obtaining creep characteristics of soft rocks, called impression creep test. This new method greatly reduces time and material usually needed for conventional creep tests and makes it an economic mean to obtain creep characteristics of soft rocks.
I conducted my experiments in different laboratories at University of Tehran, Tokai University of Japan, Toyota National College of Technology and in Material and Energy Research Center. Right now I am a research assistant in Stress and Crustal Mechanics Lab. at Stanford University. -
