Lorenzo Rosa
Assist Prof (By Courtesy), Earth System Science
BioLorenzo Rosa is a Principal Investigator at Carnegie Institution for Science in the Biosphere Sciences and Engineering Division. Lorenzo is also an Assistant Professor (by courtesy) in the Doerr School of Sustainability at Stanford University. Prior to joining Carnegie, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institute of Energy and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich. He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from University of California Berkeley, and a B.S. and M.S. in Environmental Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
Dr. Rosa researches innovative technologies to tackle climate mitigation and adaptation within the interconnected food-energy-water nexus. His work emphasizes sustainable solutions that help balance resource demands and enhance resilience under the pressures of a warming climate. Focused on addressing climate-related challenges in agriculture, he explores strategies to minimize the environmental impacts of agriculture. Dr. Rosa’s research informs policies and investments in sustainable development, contributing to both agricultural and water sustainability. Additionally, his work assesses the potential benefits and unintended consequences of new innovations designed to meet the global demands for energy, water, and food.
Dr. Rosa’s contributions to science and society have been recognized through multiple awards, including the 2019 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Hydrology Research Grant and the 2021 AGU Science for Solutions Award. The latter award is given “for significant contributions in the application and use of the Earth and space sciences to solve societal problems". In Dr. Rosa’s case recognized his contributions to understanding global water-energy-food linkages and solutions to benefit humanity and nature. The AGU is the primary professional society in Dr. Rosa’s field, and these awards are extremely selective and highly prestigious. In addition to these awards, he was also listed among the most influential young leaders in Science and Technology for the year 2020 by Forbes 30 Under 30.
Dr. Rosa is an avid sportsman, when he is not at his desk, you can find him running, cycling, swimming, and skiing. In his career as an athlete, he won the Regional and Italian Championships in mountain running.

Dr Lynn J. Rothschild
Adjunct Professor, Earth & Planetary Sciences
BioLynn J. Rothschild, a research scientist at NASA Ames and Adjunct Professor at Stanford, is a passionate astrobiologist focusing on the origin and evolution of life on Earth and elsewhere especially in the context of the physical environment, while at the same time pioneering the use of synthetic biology to enable space exploration. A graduate of Yale, Indiana University and Brown, she has brought her imagination and creativity to the burgeoning field of synthetic biology, articulating a vision for the future of synthetic biology as an enabling technology for NASA’s missions, including human space exploration and astrobiology. From 2011 through 2019 she served as the faculty advisor of the award-winning Stanford-Brown iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machine Competition) team, which has pioneered the use of synthetic biology to accomplish NASA’s missions, particularly focusing on the human settlement of Mars, and such innovative technologies as biomining, mycotecture, BioWires, making a biodegradable UAS (drone) and an Astropharmacy. Current funded projects include developing an on-demand, personalized Astropharmacy, mycotecture and a detoxification system for perchlorates. Her lab tested select plans in space on in the PowerCell secondary payload on the DLR EuCROPIS satellite. A past-president of the Society of Protozoologists, she is a fellow of the Linnean Society of London, The California Academy of Sciences and the Explorer’s Club. She was awarded the Isaac Asimov Award from the American Humanist Association, and the Horace Mann Award from Brown University. She has been a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) fellow five times. Lynn is an Adjunct Professor in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University. She frequently appears on documentaries, TV and radio, and lectures worldwide, including Windsor Castle, Comi Con, TechFestival and the Vatican, and debated de-extinction for an Intelligence Squared USA debate.
