Connor Hoffmann
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Summer 2023
BioConnor assists with research and programs led by Dr. Palmer’s group in conjunction with CISAC. His interests include how technology development shapes social and political orders, norms and governance practices with a particular focus in the life sciences. Connor received an Honors Baccalaureate and Bachelors in Chemical Engineering, Biological Engineering, and Interdisciplinary Studies (BS) with foci in biological engineering, economics and political science from Montana State University. His thesis work studied the application of nuclear nonproliferation norms to dual-use biotechnology. He also conducted research on the biochemistry and structural biology of CRISPR-Cas systems under the direction of Dr. Blake Wiedenheft during his undergraduate studies. Connor was named a Truman Scholar, the premier graduate fellowship in the United States for those pursuing careers as public service leaders. Before joining Stanford, he worked with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy [ACEEE] to develop a connected and autonomous vehicle policy toolkit. An avid outdoorsman, he can be found after hours exploring the backcountry with his mountain bike, touring skis, climbing gear, or backpack.

Hillard Huntington
Executive Director, Energy Modeling Forum
Researcher, Management Science and Engineering - Energy Modeling Forum
Staff, Management Science and Engineering - Energy Modeling ForumBioHuntington is Executive Director of Stanford University's Energy Modeling Forum, where he conducts studies to improve the usefulness of models for understanding energy and environmental problems. In 2005 the Forum received the prestigious Adelman-Frankel Award from the International Association for Energy Economics for its "unique and innovative contribution to the field of energy economics."
His current research interests are modeling energy security, energy price shocks, energy market impacts of environmental policies, and international natural gas and LNG markets. In 2002 he won the Best Paper Award from the Energy Journal for a paper co-authored with Professor Dermot Gately of New York University.
He is a Senior Fellow and a past-President of the United States Association for Energy Economics and a member of the National Petroleum Council. He was also Vice-President for Publications for the International Association for Energy Economics and a member of the American Statistical Association's Committee on Energy Data. Previously, he served on a joint USA-Russian National Academy of Sciences Panel on energy conservation research and development.
Huntington has testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the California Energy Commission.
Prior to coming to Stanford in 1980, he held positions in the corporate and government sectors with Data Resources Inc., the U.S. Federal Energy Administration, and the Public Utilities Authority in Monrovia, Liberia (as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer).
