Stephanie Caddell
Ph.D. Student in Oceans, admitted Autumn 2024
BioStephanie Caddell graduated with a bachelor's degree in environmental science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with minors in marine science and environmental justice. While at UNC, she researched marine microbiology, fisheries dynamics, and marine ecosystem dynamics in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Additionally, she has researched bycatch mitigation efforts in the North Atlantic for sea turtle species with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Now working on her PhD in the Oceans Department under the mentorship of Dr. Larry Crowder and Dr. Nicole Ardoin, Stephanie studies how relationships with marine resources shape stewardship. Her research sits at the intersection of marine social science and policy, examining how and why people care for local ecosystems and how governance can support—or hinder—this care. Her work aims to inform marine management policies grounded in local realities, ensuring coastal and island communities are equitably engaged at every stage of decision-making.

Samuel Enrique Camacho
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Graduate Program Assistant, Domingue Program
Research Intern, Program-Osman, K.BioNative of Maracaibo, Venezuela. I am a nonprofit leader, a graduate research assistant, a perennial intern, and a recovering investment banker. After working in banking and helping early-stage startups in the sustainability space navigate funding rounds, I decided to pursue graduate studies in environmental engineering to expand my technical foundation in sustainability and renewable energy technology.
My previous research focused on traditional energy, and I have presented at over 10 economic conferences. I have also interned at a YC-backed startup, in consulting, banking, venture capital, corporate, and various nonprofits and universities. In my spare time, I co-lead a Latin American education and arts nonprofit in Houston. Other interests include worrying about Venezuelan inflation, visiting small towns in the U.S., coding in Stata, and hiking.
