Emily Ellefson
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences, admitted Autumn 2021
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a palynologist, that is, I study fossilized pollen and spores! Previously I have worked on Permian-Triassic and Jurassic-Cretaceous palynology, but here at Stanford I'm excited to be exploring a new time interval and will be working on Silurian-Devonian palynology. My research will focus on how the evolution of terrestrial plants affected the marine redox record through palynology, paleobotany, and geochemistry.

Anton Ermakov
Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and, by courtesy, of Geophysics and of Earth and Planetary Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the formation and evolution of the Solar System bodies and the ways we can constrain planetary interiors by geophysical measurements.

Amir Eskanlou
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioI specialize in mineral processing and computational materials science. At Stanford, I explore the electronic structure of critical minerals as well as mineral-water and mineral-reagent interfaces using AI-accelerated ab initio computations. My research focuses on developing an intelligent framework for discovering and designing novel chemical reagents and ligands that target the subtle quantum-mechanical properties of minerals and metals. The outcomes of my work aim to enable the selective separation and extraction of critical minerals and metals from both primary and secondary resources.
In addition, I collaborate on AI-driven optimization and design of mineral processing operations under uncertainty for selective and sustainable extraction of critical minerals.
