Kirsten Stasio
Adjunct Lecturer, Atmosphere and Energy
BioKirsten Stasio is CEO of the Nevada Clean Energy Fund (NCEF), Nevada's nonprofit green bank. She also serves as an Adjunct Lecturer at Stanford University, where she co-teaches Understand Energy, a course that gives students the knowledge and tools to engage in the energy and sustainability sectors.
Throughout her career, Kirsten has strived to translate her life-long passion for environmental sustainability into real impact across the policy, education, corporate, and investment sectors. Before joining NCEF, Kirsten worked at MAP Energy, an energy investment firm, where she helped scale investments in renewable energy across the US. Her early career began at the World Resources Institute (WRI), a non-profit, where she worked with policymakers and other stakeholders to implement climate finance solutions. While getting her graduate degree at Stanford, Kirsten worked at Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) where she helped launched a new energy efficiency initiative with large businesses in the Bay Area. Kirsten also worked at Apple to implement energy measures at Apple's headquarters, retail stores, and data centers.
Kirsten began teaching at Stanford in early 2015 after graduating from Stanford with an MBA and an MS degree in the Emmet-Interdisciplinary Program on Environment and Resources (E-IPER). Kirsten also earned a dual BA in International Relations and French from the University of California, Davis.
The origins of Kirsten's passion for sustainability trace back to her childhood when she spent time on her family’s fourth-generation ranch in the Sierra Nevada foothills, a place where she enjoys spending time today with her husband and daughter. -
Ivana Stiperski
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Flow Physics and Computation
BioIvana is a professor of Atmospheric Turbulence at University of Innsbruck, Austria. She got her PhD from the University of Zagreb, Croatia. Her research focuses on the effects of terrain complexity on the atmospheric flows at different scales. On the turbulence scale she and her team work on formulating a generalized theory of surface-layer turbulence based on anisotropy through her ERC Consolidator Grant "Unicorn". This new framework allows the classic turbulence theories to be extended to conditions outside of their range of applicability. On the local and mesoscale she studies thermally driven flows (katabatic flows over glaciers and non-glaciarized environments), as well as dynamically driven flows (bora and foehn winds and gravity waves). Her main research tool are turbulence field observations collected over a wide range of very complex settings (e.g., mountains, glaciers, ice-cliffs, caves). She also participated and organized a number of field experiments (T-Rex, i-Box, SEECAP, HEFEX, HEFEX II, TEAMx). Her teaching includes introductory and advanced atmospheric sciences courses, especially boundary layer meteorology courses on Bachelor and Master level.

Jenny Suckale
Associate Professor of Geophysics and, Senior Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy research group studies disasters to reduce the risk they pose. We approach this challenge by developing customized mathematical models that can be tested against observational data and are informed by community needs through a scientific co-production process. We intentionally work on extremes across different natural systems rather than focusing on one specific natural system to identify both commonalities in the physical processes driving extremes and in the best practices for mitigating risk at the community level. Our current research priorities include volcanic eruptions, ice-sheet instability, permafrost disintegration, induced seismicity and flood-risk mitigation. I was recently awarded the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers and the CAREER award from the National Science Foundation.
