Alexander Honeyman
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioI study environmental systems—with a particular emphasis on (wild)fire—using a mixture of laboratory, field, and data science approaches. Recent scholarship focuses on toxic metals in wildfire smoke, while past efforts have examined post-fire soil recovery through the lens of microbial ecology. Alongside Scott Fendorf, I co-lead SmokeCast—an applied research effort supported by the Sustainability Accelerator at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. At SmokeCast, we develop (wild)fire smoke toxicity forecasts via hybridization of basic science, novel hardware engineering, and artificial intelligence. My work maintains close collaborations with the fire service—which evolved over 10 years while I was a volunteer firefighter/EMT. I actively maintain my national qualification for wildland firefighting (i.e., “red card”) to facilitate wildfire and smoke research.

Mark Horowitz
Fortinet Founders Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Yahoo! Founders Professor in the School of Engineering, Professor of Computer Science, and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution
BioProfessor Horowitz initially focused on designing high-performance digital systems by combining work in computer-aided design tools, circuit design, and system architecture. During this time, he built a number of early RISC microprocessors, and contributed to the design of early distributed shared memory multiprocessors. In 1990, Dr. Horowitz took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus Inc., a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology. After returning in 1991, his research group pioneered many innovations in high-speed link design, and many of today’s high speed link designs are designed by his former students or colleagues from Rambus.
In the 2000s he started a long collaboration with Prof. Levoy on computational photography, which included work that led to the Lytro camera, whose photographs could be refocused after they were captured.. Dr. Horowitz's current research interests are quite broad and span using EE and CS analysis methods to problems in neuro and molecular biology to creating new agile design methodologies for analog and digital VLSI circuits. He remains interested in learning new things, and building interdisciplinary teams. -
Alison Hoyt
Assistant Professor of Earth System Science
BioAlison Hoyt is an Assistant Professor of Earth System Science at Stanford. Her work focuses on understanding how biogeochemical cycles respond to human impacts, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable and least understood carbon stocks in the tropics and the Arctic.
