Maggie Poulos
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2023
HIA Mentor, Stanford Arts InstituteBioMaggie is a PhD student in Stanford University's E-IPER Program interested in intersectional equity and blue justice through the lens of marine resource management in Kenya and Tanzania. In exploring resource access and collective action through local governance mechanisms, she studies the motivations behind and challenges to diverse participation in local marine governance, as well as opportunities for encouraging gendered inclusion. Through a co-production of knowledge framework and related field research tools, Maggie aims to co-create applied research that makes marine policy a more diverse and equitable space for local and Indigenous communities. Before her time at Stanford, Maggie earned a Master of Public Policy from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies from Macalester College.

Claudette Proctor
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2021
Head Coach, Women's Club Soccer, Recreation Competitive SportsBioClaudette Proctor was born in Los Angeles, California. She double majored in Earth and Oceanographic Science and Hispanic Studies at Bowdoin College, graduating in 2021. She is now pursuing her doctoral studies in the Earth System Science department at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. She is passionate about investigating the role and response of phytoplankton in polar regions, particularly in the context of Arctic amplification, which resulted in accelerated warming (up to four times faster) in the Arctic relative to the rate experienced by the rest of the globe as a result of anthropogenic climate change. Her research leverages a combination of fieldwork, experimental work, remote sensing, and modeling to better understand how changes in sea ice impact primary productivity, carbon cycling, and the entire Arctic ecosystem.
Claudette also teaches Introduction to the Marine Environment at Stanford and is committed to reducing barriers to student success. She is particularly interested in enhancing learning using evidence-based teaching strategies and prioritizing intention in course design and implementation. She also coaches club soccer at Stanford and enjoys arts and crafts.
