Fridah Nyakundi
Research Asst - Graduate, Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources
BioI am a Ph.D. candidate in Environment and Resources at Stanford University’s Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER). My research sits at the intersection of environmental and natural resource economics and land system science, applying remote sensing and economic methods to understand how natural resource use shapes livelihoods and ecosystems in low- and middle-income countries. Currently, my doctoral work focuses on the risks and decision-making strategies in aquaculture systems, with a case study on Nile Tilapia cage farming in Lake Victoria. While aquaculture is the subject of my current research, my broader interests span natural resource management (NRM) economics, agriculture and environmental economics, land system science, and food systems resilience. Before graduate school, I spent five years at the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), supporting the design and execution of large-scale impact assessments and leading the setup of data systems for the Africa research team. I have been a fellow at Environment for Development (EfD) Kenya since 2017, contributing to applied water and resource economics research.

Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2023
HIA Mentor, Stanford Arts InstituteBioMaggie is a PhD student in Stanford University's E-IPER Program interested in intersectional equity and blue justice through the lens of marine resource management in Kenya and Tanzania. In exploring resource access and collective action through local governance mechanisms, she studies the motivations behind and challenges to diverse participation in local marine governance, as well as opportunities for encouraging gendered inclusion. Through a co-production of knowledge framework and related field research tools, Maggie aims to co-create applied research that makes marine policy a more diverse and equitable space for local and Indigenous communities. Before her time at Stanford, Maggie earned a Master of Public Policy from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies from Macalester College.
