Adam Spitzig
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2024
BioAdam Spitzig is an ecologist and data scientist with fourteen years of experience leading research and analytics in university labs, environmental non-profits, and tech startups.
Adam's current research uses remote sensing, satellite imagery, machine learning, and field data to understand how agricultural expansion into forests impacts biodiversity. He is also interested in the economic valuation of biodiversity in forest-agriculture landscapes. In his work, Adam seeks to support policymakers and communities in the sustainable development of forest-agriculture landscapes.
Adam holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from the University of Florida, a Juris Doctor (JD) and a Master of Environmental Management (MEM) from Duke University, a Master of Information & Data Science (MIDS) from UC Berkeley, and a Master in Public Administration (MPA) from Harvard University. -

Hanif Sulaiman
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI'm interested in the marine nitrogen cycle, particularly in nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas that plays a key role in stratospheric ozone destruction. I'm focused on delineating nitrous oxide's accumulation (production-consumption) pathways in various oceanographic regions.

Veda Sunkara
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2024
BioVeda Sunkara (she/her) is an E-IPER PhD student interested in studying disaster adaptation approaches and equity in outcomes for flood-prone communities in the face of increasing extremes due to climate change. Prior to starting her PhD, she worked as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Floodbase (formerly Cloud to Street), where she built machine learning algorithms to create flood maps from remotely-sensed imagery, in-situ sensors, and physics-based models for disaster planning and parametric flood insurance. She seeks to combine her earth observation and machine learning expertise with community-centered research to co-develop the data necessary to enable long term adaptation and resilience to flooding. She holds a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Brown University.
