Elora H. López-Nandam
Affiliate, Hopkins Marine Station
BioElora López-Nandam is a Ph.D. candidate in Biology at Stanford University. She uses genomics to address questions about the ecology, evolution, and conservation of marine life. Her research spans a wide range of topics, including coral bleaching recovery in American Samoa, somatic mutations in very long-lived organisms, and the effects of nuclear radiation on wildlife at Bikini Atoll, a former nuclear testing site in the Marshall Islands.
López-Nandam's first research expedition to Bikini Atoll was featured on the PBS documentary series Big Pacific in June 2017. Her research projects have also been featured in USA Today, The Atlantic, The Guardian, and Hakai Magazine.
López-Nandam is a National Geographic Early Career Explorer, an Explorers Club Rolex Explorer, a Stanford Graduate Fellow in Science & Engineering, and a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow. -
Kaden Loring
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioKaden Loring was born in Kansas and graduated high school in rural western Kansas. After high school, Mr. Loring accepted an athletic scholarship to St. Thomas University in Miami, FL where he ran cross country and track for two years. Between his second and third years of undergrad, Loring transferred to the University of Florida where he graduated in May 2020 with a B.S. in physics. Go Gators! Loring was awarded the 2020 NSF GRFP grant and, as an undergrad, the 2018 NOAA Hollings Scholarship.
He plans to specialize in experimental plasma physics during his time at Stanford with a concentration on the development of magnetic confinement fusion. Contributing to the realization of controlled nuclear fusion energy is Mr. Loring's central motivating factor for pursuing his PhD in Applied Physics. Nuclear fusion energy would significantly contribute to a globally carbon-neutral energy portfolio. Outside of academics, Loring enjoys competing in endurance sports (running/triathlon), hiking, other outdoors sports, and traveling. -
Georgia Loukatou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioI am a computational psycholinguist and postdoctoral researcher at the Language and Cognition Lab, Stanford University with Dr. Michael C. Frank. I am working on reverse engineering word learning in diverse languages, focusing on its learning factors and mechanisms. I am interested in new technologies and methods to study language processing and the use of language across contexts.
I completed my PhD in Cognitive Science at the Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique, Ecole Normale Supérieure under the supervision of Dr. Alex Cristia. My doctoral research addresses issues of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural diversity and learnability in language acquisition.
My research is at the crossroads of cognitive science, drawing mostly from linguistics and computer science, but also from anthropology and psychology. I follow an interdisciplinary approach, implementing computational modeling, corpus analyses and experimental methods. I am an advocate of open science and science communication. -

Marina Dewinara Luccioni
Stanford Student Employee, Biology
Undergraduate, Vice Provost for Undergraduate EducationBioI work on projects which combine my interest in exploring mental health with respect for traditional and local ecological knowledge. I want to better understand psychoactive molecules in their ecological context through to their neural and psychological effects on humans.
Using the "Chief of Ghosts" hallucinatory fish from Hawaii and Sonoran Desert Toad as models, I aim to learn how these animals come to contain and accumulate their toxins, and how the molecules interact with human neural function to produce altered mental states.
Outside of the lab I love exploring and hiking with friends; I would highly recommend www.shortoftheweek.com as a general resource and I share curated shorts lists on theblueberry.rf.gd, my project website. -
Emanuele Lugli
Assistant Professor of Art and Art History
BioEmanuele Lugli teaches and writes about late medieval and early modern art, with a particular emphasis on Italian painting, trade, urban culture, and the history of fashion. His theoretical concerns include questions of scale and labor, the history of measurements and technology, conceptualizations of precision, vagueness, smallness, and the reach of intellectual networks.
Emanuele has written two monographs. The first, Unità di Misura: Breve Storia del Metro in Italia (Bologna: Il Mulino, 2014), reconstructs the revolution triggered by the introduction of the metric system in nineteenth-century Italy. The second, The Making of Measure and the Promise of Sameness (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2019), is a quest for the foundations of objectivity through an analysis of the ways measurements standards were made, displayed, used, and imagined between the twelfth and the seventeenth century. A third book, a study of hair and the corporeal minuscule in founding notions of vitality, beauty, and desire in Renaissance Florence, is underway. Emanuele has also edited with Professor Joan J. Kee (University of Michigan) a collection of essays on the roles of size in artmaking titled To Scale (Hoboken, Wiley-Blackwell: 2015).
Besides his academic essays, Emanuele has also written for newspapers such as The Guardian, architectural magazines like Abitare, and Vogue Italia. -
Tanya Luhrmann
Albert Ray Lang Professor
On Leave from 09/01/2021 To 08/31/2022Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHer work focuses on the edge of experience: on voices, visions, the world of the supernatural and the world of psychosis. She has done ethnography on the streets of Chicago with homeless and psychotic women, and worked with people who hear voices in Chennai, Accra and the South Bay. She has also done fieldwork with evangelical Christians who seek to hear God speak back, with Zoroastrians who set out to create a more mystical faith, and with people who practice magic.

Liqun Luo
Ann and Bill Swindells Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how neurons are organized into specialized circuits to perform specific functions and how these circuits are assembled during development. We have developed molecular-genetic and viral tools, and are combining them with transcriptomic, proteomic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to study these problems. Topics include: 1) assembly of the fly olfactory circuit; 2) assembly of neural circuits in the mouse brain; 3) organization and function of neural circuits; 4) Tool development.

Ivan Lupic
Assistant Professor of English
BioIvan Lupić specializes in Shakespeare and Renaissance literature. He is particularly interested in interdisciplinary and transnational approaches informed by the study of primary sources and responding to the multilingual and multicultural nature of the Renaissance literary archive. His most recent book, concerned with counsel and subjectivity in early modern English drama, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2019 under the title Subjects of Advice: Drama and Counsel from More to Shakespeare. It offers an original account of the foundational role that counsel played in the development of Renaissance drama.
In 2020 Lupić will be a Berenson fellow at Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence, as well as a Frances A. Yates fellow at the Warburg Institute in London, where he will be working on a new book, provisionally titled The Illyrian Renaissance: Literature in the European Borderlands. He has also been developing a book project on Shakespeare and the End of Editing, focused on the history of Shakespeare editing in the context of manuscript studies. Lupić has published widely in fields ranging from Shakespeare translation and contemporary reception to Renaissance scribal culture, book history, and comparative literary studies.
Lupić takes his academic motto from A Groatsworth of Wit (1592): "To learning and law there's no greater foe than they that nothing know."
