Dapeng Feng
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioDapeng Feng is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth System Science and Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. During his PhD he developed the differentiable hydrologic modeling framework to unify machine learning and physical models for large-scale water cycle simulations and streamflow forecasting. His current research interests focus on systematically integrating AI, physical models, and big earth observations for large-scale geoscientific modeling and knowledge discovery, particularly in characterizing the terrestrial water cycle and its interactions with plant and climate systems.

Guilherme Fidelis Peixer
Graduate, Energy Science & Engineering
BioHe holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (2017), which included a study abroad period at the University of Sheffield (2015). Additionally, he holds a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis on Thermal Engineering and Sciences, from the same university (2020). He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques to engineering systems at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, with sandwich periods at the University of Ljubljana and Stanford University. He is the author or co-author of 25 articles published in indexed journals and over 50 papers presented at national and international conferences and events. He has supervised seven undergraduate theses, four of which were awarded or received honorable mentions as the best Mechanical Engineering theses of the year by ABCM-Embraer. He received awards at the 9th IIR International Conference on Caloric Cooling and Applications of Caloric Materials and at the 3rd Brazilian Hydrogen Congress. In 2024, he won the Falling Walls Lab Brazil and was selected by the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and the Brazilian Science and Engineering Fair to represent Brazil at the 7th BRICS Young Innovator Prize, held in Sochi, Russia. He was also a finalist for the 2024 Outstanding Researcher Award at the Brazil Conference at Harvard and MIT. He was selected to participate in the Shanghai University Summer School: Intelligent Energy Power Innovation: Artificial Intelligence Enabling Energy Sustainable Development Practice, where he received the Grand Prize Winner award at the 2025 SUEP CUP Belt and Road International Contest and First Prize at the 7th Belt and Road International Energy and Power Business Market Simulation Competition. He was the captain of the team that won the ROP Challenge at X ENAHPE - National Conference on Oil Well Construction. He has experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis on Thermal Engineering and Sciences, working mainly on new refrigeration technologies, hydrogen liquefaction, hydrogen fuel cells, optimization and design of thermal systems, and the application of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning techniques to processes, components, and systems.

Chris Field
Melvin and Joan Lane Professor of Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies, Director, Woods Institute for the Environment & Professor of Earth System Science, of Biology and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute and at the Precourt Institute
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
My field is climate-change science, and my research emphasizes human-ecological interactions across many disciplines. Most studies include aspects of ecology, but also aspects of law, sociology, medicine, or engineering. -
Martin Fischer
Kumagai Professor in the School of Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioProfessor Fischer's research goals are to improve the productivity of project teams involved in designing, building, and operating facilities and to enhance the sustainability of the built environment. His work develops the theoretical foundations and applications for virtual design and construction (VDC). VDC methods support the design of a facility and its delivery process and help reduce the costs and maximize the value over its lifecycle. His research has been used by many small and large industrial government organizations around the world.

Stephanie Fischer
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Ph.D. Minor, Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity
Grad OCT, Hume CenterBioStephanie Fischer (she/her) is a Ph.D. Candidate with the Behavioral Decisions and the Environment group with Dr. Gabrielle Wong-Parodi, and is a Ph.D. minor with the Center for Comparative Studies of Race and Ethnicity. She is largely interested in community-led solutions that bolster adaptive capacity in the face of acute disasters and chronic climate hazards, and the ways culture and identity play a pivotal role in achieving holistic well-being and transformative climate justice.
Stephanie also holds a B.A. in Music Composition and a B.A. in Earth Systems (Human Environmental Systems) from Stanford University. -
