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
BioAmir specializes in mineral processing and computational materials science. He has worked on flowsheet and technology development and optimization for the extraction of critical minerals including copper, phosphate, graphite, and rare earth minerals. At Stanford, he investigates the electronic structure of critical minerals and their interfaces with water and chemical reagents using quantum mechanical computations and artificial intelligence (AI). Amir's research focuses on developing an intelligent framework to discover, design, and validate novel reagents that enable selective and sustainable recovery of critical materials from primary and secondary resources.
In addition, Amir collaborates on AI-driven optimization and design of mineral processing operations under uncertainty.
