Hong Yang
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences, admitted Autumn 2018
Masters Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2021BioHong Yang is currently a PhD student in Geological Science working with Wendy L. Mao. He joined Mao’s lab at Stanford University in 2018, after finishing his Master’s Degree at HPSTAR, Shanghai, where he was supervised by Jung-Fu Lin. His Master’s thesis focused on the experimental determination of iron isotopic fractionation behavior of lower mantle phases using the Synchrotron X-ray technique NRIXS. Before that, he was an undergraduate majoring in Geochemistry at the University of Science and Technology of China. There he performed the quality assessment of bottled drinking water and water from Lake Chao under Fang Huang’s supervision.
Hong’s research interests include the chemical (especially isotopic) evolution of the Earth and other planetary bodies; structure and sound velocities of iron-alloys at high pressure; pressure-induced electronic, magnetic, elastic and structural transitions in materials; as well as high pressure photon science. His recent research was published on Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 506, 113-122 (2019), entitled “Iron isotopic fractionation in mineral phases from Earth’s lower mantle: Did terrestrial magma ocean crystallization fractionate iron isotopes?”. -
Leehi Yona
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2018
Juris Doctor Student, LawCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsLeehi studies greenhouse gas inventories and how governments and corporations use (or misuse) scientific knowledge in climate law and policy. She is particularly interested in how these actors account for their greenhouse gas emissions and in the gaps between scientifically measured and politically accounted-for emissions.
