Eliza Dawson
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics, admitted Summer 2018
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am investigating how changes in the thermal regime at the ice-bed interface could force the Antarctic ice sheet to evolve. My approach combines large scale ice sheet modeling, regional airborne ice-penetrating radar sounding analysis, and the synthesis of the two. Currently, I am using the Ice-sheet and Sea-level system model (ISSM) to learn about basal thaw processes that could drive mass loss and ultimately contribute to sea level rise.

Matthew Edward Lees
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2018
BioI work on using geophysics to monitor and interpret hydrologically-induced surface deformation in and around California's Central Valley. My research focuses on improving our understanding of land subsidence induced by groundwater extraction, as well as more subtle surface deformation due to hydrologic loading. I have additional interest in sustainable groundwater management around the world, and how geophysics can be used to help tackle pressing hydrologic issues of the 21st century.
Before coming to Stanford, I studied a Masters in Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge (2013-17) and spent time as a hydrogeologist at the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, ICIMOD (2017).
Additional information about me and my research can be found at my personal website and on the GEM Center site, please see links to the right. My personal website is the most likely to be up to date. -
Haipeng Li
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2022
BioHaipeng Li is a Ph.D. student in the Stanford Exploration Project (SEP), beginning in the fall of 2022. His research interests include studying the Earth's interior structures with seismic inversion and imaging methods. He focuses on investigating Distributed Acoustic Sensing in full-waveform inversion to resolve real-life problems including CO2 sequestration, hydrocarbon exploration, and urban environment monitoring. Also, He is exploiting high-performant numerical algorithms and SciML in seismic wave simulation.

Shiqi (Axel) Wang
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2017
BioI am a PhD student in geophysics. My research interest is on high-frequency guided seismic waves primarily in the lithosphere. One application of these waves is to use their amplitude ratios to determine if an earthquake nucleated within the continental mantle.

Zihan Wei
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2017
Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceBioI'm a PhD candidate in Geophysics. My research is on environmental fluid dynamics, volcanology, groundwater hydrology and natural hazards. Currently I'm working on bridging fluid dynamics of magma in volcanoes with various data to understand the processes in volcanic systems, and combining remote sensing data and in-situ measurements to minitor groudwater storage. I'm also interested in agent-based modeling, numerical modeling related to animation, and applying machine learning to solve real-world environmental problems.

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?”. -
