Susan Holmes
Professor of Statistics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab has been developing tools for the analyses of complex data structures, extending work on multivariate data to structured multitable table that include graphs, networks and trees as well as categorical and continuous measurements.
We created and support the Bioconductor package phyloseq for the analyses of microbial ecology data from the microbiome. We have specialized in developing interactive graphical visualization tools for doing reproducible research in biology. -

Danea Horn
Postdoctoral Scholar, Economics
BioDanea Horn is a postdoctoral scholar in Economics at Stanford University. She earned her doctorate in Agriculture and Resource Economics from the University of California, Davis in 2021. Prior to that, Danea wrote a book, Chronic Resilience, which was a personal examination of the patient experience. The book tells stories of resilience that demonstrate how seemingly individual experiences with the health care system are fundamentally connected. With an applied economist’s toolkit, Danea's research now focuses on pharmaceutical pricing, health innovation, and resource constraints.

Andrew James Howard
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioAndrew J. Howard received his B.S. in Optics from the University of Rochester in 2019. During his time at Rochester, he served as a Research Assistant in the ultrafast group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He was awarded the Charles L. Newton Prize for his work. In late 2019, Howard enrolled in the Applied Physics Ph.D. program at Stanford University and was named the Albion Walter Hewlett Fellow. Here he studies experimental strong-field physics and ultrafast laser-driven molecular dynamics. He currently specializes in 3D fragment-momentum imaging, in which the three-dimensional momentum of molecular fragments produced during the interaction between a laser and a molecule yields valuable information about femtosecond molecular processes and light-matter interactions.

Blair Hoxby
Professor of English
BioBlair Hoxby writes on literature and culture from 1500 to 1800. Two of his foremost interests are the commercial culture and the theatrical practices of the period. Mammon's Music: Literature and Economics in the Age of Milton (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2002) examines the impact of the commercial revolution on writings of major seventeenth-century poets such as Milton and Dryden. Together with Ann Coiro, he is editing a large multi-author collection of essays on Milton in the Long Restoration. Two of his new books nearing completion focus on tragic dramaturgy. What Is Tragedy? Theory and the Early Modern Canon seeks to free the early modern poetics of tragedy and the early modern theatrical repertoire from the expectations erected by the romantic and post-romantic philosophy of the tragic that has dominated tragic theory from Schelling to the present. Reading for the Passions: Performing Early Modern Tragedy argues that the passions, not deeds or character, hold the keys to early modern tragic performance.
Recent and forthcoming articles include Passion, for 21st-Century Approaches: Early Modern Theatricality, ed. Henry Turner (forthcoming, OUP); What Was Tragedy? The World We Have Lost, 1550-1795, Comparative Literature 64 (2012): 1-32; Allegorical Drama, in The Cambridge Companion to Allegory, ed. Rita Copeland and Peter Struck (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009); The Function of Allegory in Baroque Tragic Drama: What Benjamin Got Wrong, in Thinking Allegory Otherwise, ed. Brenda Machowsky (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2009); and "Areopagitica and Liberty," in The Oxford Handbook of Milton, ed. Nicholas McDowell and Nigel Smith (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009). -
