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
BioI grew up in the foothills of the Cascade mountains in Oregon. I am a geobiologist and am generally interested in microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycling.
I attended Amherst College and majored in Biology. After graduating, I spent three years working in diverse lab settings. I interned at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) Marine Lab in Florida, worked for a year in a plant-microbe symbiosis lab at UCSB, and then worked for a year at MIT studying cyanobacteria.
Currently, I am pursuing a PhD at Stanford in the Earth System Sciences department. I am studying nitrogen cycling and microbial communities in local estuaries in the Francis Lab. -
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. -
