Shannon Sylvie Abelson
Postdoctoral Scholar, Philosophy
BioI work in philosophy of astronomy and astrophysics, environmental ethics, and space policy. My research focuses on best practices and practical solutions to pressing ethical and policy issues in space exploration, including space debris mitigation, and environmental impacts of the space industry.
I am an associate member of NANOGrav and a member of the ngEHT HPC group, where I co-lead the responsible siting working group. . -

Stefan Oliver Bassler
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioStefan is a Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Fellow in the Petrov lab at Stanford University and in the Aulehla & Steinmetz labs at EMBL (2025-now). He is fascinated by how evolution can be used to probe the genomic plasticity of biological systems. During his PhD with Nassos Typas at EMBL supported by the Joachim Herz Add-on Fellowship, he mapped the Genomic landscape of resistance evolution by performing high-throughput resistance evolution of the genome-wide KO library in E. coli. He discovered that evolvability genes constrain resistance evolution through gene-gene and gene-gene-drug interactions. In his postdoctoral work, he will Assess the inter-kingdom conservation of lifespan variants evolved in yeast.

Simon Beaudoin
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Political Science
BioSimon Beaudoin is a Fulbright Scholar at Stanford University, a PhD student in Political Science at the University of British Columbia, and a SSHRC Doctoral Fellow. His scholarship lies at the intersection of International Relations, Political Theory, and Earth System Science. Integrating insights from both social and natural sciences and applying systems thinking, his research examines the architectures of global environmental politics and synergies within socio-ecological systems.
Simon holds a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) in Politics and International Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in International Studies from the University of Montreal. His masters were funded by the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship, the Cambridge Trust, and the Mackenzie King Scholarship. During his master’s degrees, he also received a Frontenac Fellowship to study at Science Po Paris and an Excellence Scholarship to conduct field work in Geneva. His social and academic contributions were recognized by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec’s Youth Medal.
Simon spent the last decade living, studying, and conducting research in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. His most recent work features peer-reviewed publications on global environmental politics, biodiversity, climate, and ocean governance in the Canadian Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Multilateralism, International Negotiation, and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. He is also the lead author of a forthcoming book on global biodiversity governance. -
Luca Bellodi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Political Science
BioLuca Bellodi is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Political Science at Stanford University. His current research focuses on American political institutions, specifically the interaction between politics, bureaucracy, and populism, and its consequences for the quality of government.
In Bellodi’s primary line of research, he studies politicians’ incentives to control the behavior of bureaucratic agencies, lawmakers’ reliance on bureaucratic expertise, and the role of bureaucracy in shaping the political agenda. He introduces innovative measurement strategies that combine natural language processing techniques and machine learning to address novel questions in the study of oversight, rulemaking, and the use of information in the policymaking process.
In a related line of research, Bellodi investigates why politicians adopt populist behaviors and examines the consequences of populism for government performance and the quality of bureaucracy.
Luca Bellodi holds a PhD in political science from University College London. Before joining Stanford, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Bocconi University in Milan. -
Louis Berrios
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioLouis joined the Peay lab in 2021 after completing his Ph.D. at the University of South Carolina. His research primarily focuses on the factors that govern the spatial distributions of bacteria and fungi as a function of microbe-microbe and plant-microbe interactions. From genomes to phenomes, Louis fuses both top-down and bottom-up experimental approaches to determine the genetic architecture that undergirds plant microbiome assemblages across landscapes.
