Jamie Melissa Caldwell (Sziklay)
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow investigating climate drivers of mosquito-borne diseases with Erin Mordecai (Biology), Desiree LaBeaud (School of Medicine) and Eric Lambin (Woods Institute for the Environment). I am interested in the ecology and spatial dynamics of infectious diseases in humans and marine and terrestrial wildlife. A major component of my postdoctoral research is to develop climate-driven predictive models of dengue and chikungunya in Kenya and Ecuador.

Alexandra Carstensen
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
BioI completed my PhD in psychology at UC Berkeley and postdoctoral research at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and am currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Mike Frank in the Language and Cognition Lab at Stanford University. I'm interested broadly in how humans abstract away from the sensory information they receive about the world to create, structure, and communicate higher-level representations. To better understand these processes, my research explores the nature of category systems across languages: how these semantic structures vary, evolve, and influence thought. In a complementary line of work, I examine the role of language and culture in children's developing conceptualizations of space and relations.
