Emilius Aalto
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Hopkins Marine Station
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy primary research interest is theoretical fisheries ecology, with a focus on population dynamics, spatial dynamics, and response to disease and catastrophic events. My current work involves the incorporation of the effects of ocean acidification and low-oxygen events into an abalone growth and reproduction model. Past projects include modeling indirect positive effects from fishing-induced competitive release and the effects of size-specific obligate predation on post-harvest recovery time.

Nicholas Adams-Cohen
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Political Science
BioNicholas Adams-Cohen is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Immigration Policy Lab. He received his Ph.D. in social science at the California Institute of Technology, developing and adapting novel quantitive methods in political science. His research aims to better understand voter behavior and public opinion formation through the interactions between politicians and their constituents.
Nicholas also holds an M.S. in social science from Caltech, an M.A. in international policy studies from Stanford University, and a B.A. in political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. -

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBasic understanding of the mechanisms underlying autophagy, chaperones, and protein quality control in the nervous system as a route to more effective therapies for neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Frontotemporal Dementia, Huntington's, etc.).

Louise Anderson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research is aimed at obtaining results in strongly-correlated quantum systems using a variety of approaches, including supersymmetric localisation and holography. I am currently working on understanding the late-time dynamics of systems with quantum chaos.
Other interests include the behaviour of mass-deformed supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories, quantum error correcting codes in relation to holography, and generalised geometry. -
Nicolas Astier
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Economics
BioNicolas is a postdoctoral fellow within the Bits & Watts Initiative in the Stanford Precourt Institute for Energy. His current work focuses on understanding the on-going fundamental changes affecting the electricity industry, and the extent to which evolutions in market design and regulation are needed to cope with, or foster, such changes. Prior to coming back to Stanford, Nicolas served as an analyst at the French Energy Regulatory Commission within the electricity transmission department.

Sebastian Baum
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Physics
BioI am a theoretical physicist working on Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) particle physics phenomenology. In particular, I am interested in using particle colliders to probe BSM models via their Higgs sector and in unraveling the nature of Dark Matter via model building and experimental probes such as Direct Detection type experiments.

Simon Birrer
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research focus on dark matter and dark energy. I am using strong gravitational lensing to probe the imprint of dark matter on the structure in our universe and measuring the expansion rate of our universe with time-delay cosmography to probe dark energy.

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.

Rajpreet Chahal
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
BioRaj received her Ph.D. in Human Development and Designated Emphasis in Translational Research from the University of California, Davis in 2019, where she was a TL1 Pre-Doctoral Clinical Research Training Scholar and supported by the UC Davis School of Medicine and the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. In her graduate work, Raj assessed how inter-individual differences in key developmental aspects of adolescence (i.e., puberty, psychopathology, and the brain) inform one another to contribute to our understanding of heterogeneous risk mechanisms and opportunities for targeted interventions. Specifically, Raj characterized associations between pubertal timing, structural and functional network properties in the brain, and internalizing symptoms. Raj also examined topographical signatures in white matter tracts as they reflect the history of depressive symptoms in adolescent girls, and patterns of functional connectivity, revealed by neural biotyping, as they forecast future internalizing symptoms in at-risk adolescents. As a post-doctoral researcher in the SNAP lab, Raj is extending her work by studying the effects of early life stress on the development of large-scale structural and functional brain circuits to understand when and in whom neurobiological alterations arise and confer risk for depression and suicidal ideation. The goal of this research is to guide person-centered approaches to detect vulnerability for, and predict the course of depression.

Ching Chieh Chou
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the cellular strategies to regulate protein folding, transport and aggregation, and the pathogenic pathways leading to proteome remodeling in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. I use molecular imaging, cell reprogramming and multi-omics technologies to address these questions with importance to the aging and neuroscience field.

Geraldine Fauville
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Communication
BioGéraldine earned a Ph.D. in Education in 2017 from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. She also holds two Master degrees, one in Marine Science from the University of Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium and the second in Education, Communication and Learning from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Since 2008, Géraldine has worked as a practitioner to lead large, international ocean literacy projects and as a researcher, studying the role that digital technologies can play in supporting ocean literacy. At VHIL, Géraldine is a Wallenberg postdoctoral fellow studying how VR can contribute to environmental and marine education.
