Jonathan Vincent Pace
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Political Science
BioMy research centers on the economic, social, legal, and infrastructural regulation of internet conduct. It makes conceptual and empirical connections across digital media studies, interpersonal communication studies, economics, law, and social theory, formulating a humanistic account of digital society with implications for the study, design, and regulation of internet platforms.

Julia Palacios
Assistant Professor of Statistics and of Biomedical Data Science
BioDr. Palacios seek to provide statistically rigorous answers to concrete, data driven questions in evolutionary genetics and public health . My research involves probabilistic modeling of evolutionary forces and the development of computationally tractable methods that are applicable to big data problems. Past and current research relies heavily on the theory of stochastic processes, Bayesian nonparametrics and recent developments in machine learning and statistical theory for big data.

Stephen Palumbi
Jane and Marshall Steel Jr. Professor in Marine Sciences and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe're interested in ecological, evolutionary, and conservation questions related to marine (and sometimes terrestrial) organisms and ecosystems. We use evolutionary genetics and molecular ecology techniques, and our fieldwork takes us all around the world. Currently, we're studying coral diversity, the adaptive potential of corals in response to climate change, the movement of organisms between marine reserves, genetic changes in abalone in response to environmental.

Chenjie Pan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
BioI obtained my PhD from Dr. Xiaodong Wang's lab, National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing/Tsinghua University. My major work during PhD is on the biochemical mechanism of myelin breakdown. I have expertise in in-tissue immunoprecipitation and pain behavior. Now I am working on axon guidance, degeneration, and plasticity in Dr. Marc Tessier-Lavigne's lab in Department of Biology.

Jennifer Pan
Assistant Professor of Communication and, by courtesy, of Political Science
BioJennifer Pan is an Assistant Professor of Communication at Stanford University. Her research focuses on the politics of authoritarian (non-democratic) countries in the digital age. How autocrats constrain collective action through online censorship, propaganda, and responsiveness. How information proliferation influences the ability of authoritarian regimes to collect reliable information. How public preferences are arranged and formed. Her work combines experimental and computational methods with large-scale datasets on political activity in China and other authoritarian regimes to examine these questions.

Helen Paris
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOngoing interest in proximity in performance (see Hill L. and Paris H. (2014) Performing Proximity. London: Palgrave Macmillan.)
The work with Proximity considers anthropological concepts of proxemics within the context of performance studies. Specifically, it investigates distance in physical space between performers and audiences and how that distance or proximity impacts our encounters with one another. The book exemplifies my ongoing commitment to praxis, drawing on knowledge derived through the practice of performance and highlighting artistic works informed by critical inquiry. Two of the case studies examine collaborations with biological sciences exploring proximity in relation to the sense of smell and its connection with memory and in relation to the autonomic nervous system or the ‘second brain’. This work explores the importance of direct human contact and engagement in a digital age through its deep consideration of proximity and the senses, in relation to theatre and theatre pedagogy, underlining our commitment to live work. The book is written from the point of view of performers which, along with its reframing of proxemics, makes it a unique contribution to performance studies scholarship.
