Sydney Aleah Hampton
Ph.D. Student in Oceans, admitted Autumn 2023
BioSydney is a PhD student in the Oceans department, interested in using an interdisciplinary approach to explore the biophysical interactions of marine migratory species with their environment, and their responses to ecological and anthropogenic stressors. She is particularly interested in using what we know about various environmental variables and large-scale climate events to further predict and understand changes to the migratory patterns of marine species. Sydney holds a BS in Marine Science and BS in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina.

Mathis Heyer
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioMathis Heyer, from Kiel, Germany, is pursuing a Ph.D. in Energy Science & Engineering at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in process systems engineering from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, as well as a master’s degree in management science and engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing.
His research at Stanford focuses on advancing the understanding of complex energy and process systems through mathematical modeling and optimization. Mathis' work builds on his previous research experiences at the Climate Policy Lab at ETH Zurich and the Sustainable Reaction Engineering Group at Cambridge University. Outside of his academic pursuits, Mathis enjoys volunteering with organizations such as "Engineers Without Borders" and "Europe Meets School" both involved in promoting intercultural exchange.
Mathis has been recognized as a Klaus-Murmann Fellow by the Foundation of German Business (sdw) while at RWTH Aachen and is currently an ERP Fellow with the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and a recipient of the SGF Fellowship. -
Samantha Hordyk
Masters Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI recently graduated from Reed College with a physics degree and am now pursing a Master's in Geophysics at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Jenny Suckale. My research interests lie in numerical modeling of environmental fluids, and the fundamental multi-phase physics of natural systems. In all my work, I am committed to creating a safer and more resilient world.

Stepfan Huntsman
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences, admitted Winter 2022
Research Collections Asst, Earth Specimen CollectionBioI've had an interest in rocks and fossils since I was a small child, amassing a large collection in my youth, but hadn't considered it a viable career path instead starting my path as a social scientist studying gender and sexuality. My interest in a career in paleontology peaked after finishing my first degree, leading me to pursue a second bachelors degree. While working on my undergraduate at Weber State I discovered a true deep love of plants as well as a curiosity about the methods they use to adapt to new environments, which has lead me to pursuing a doctoral degree here at Stanford University.
