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.

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.
