Oluwafunmibi Asunmonu
Masters Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Spring 2025
BioOluwafunmibi Asunmonu is a driving force behind rural food security and resilience and has spent 3.5 years securing sustainable, catalytic financing for the climate adaptation of over 1M of the most vulnerable rural households in Africa while contributing to the development of scalable agricultural risk management solutions.
She advocates designing adaptable climate financing models for further vulnerable groups (women and youth). She has made significant contributions as a two-time speaker at the annual AGRF Summit and the AYuTe Africa Summit, a delegate at the World Bank Youth Summit and the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum, and a participant in the Nigeria National Economic Council meeting on Food Security held in the Presidential Villa. Additionally, she has contributed to technical agri-financing reports published by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Shell Foundation.
Funded by the Swiss Re Foundation, she graduated with a BA(Hons) in International Business and Trade as the Best Graduating Student from the African Leadership University, where she co-founded an Initiative that won the Queen’s Young Leader Award and interned with KPMG, Andersen, and GTB. At Stanford, she plans to leverage the innovation and exposure it offers to design improved climate-adaptation investment models.
Oluwafunmibi enjoys hiking and playing sudoku. -

Desi Silviani Aulian Barry
Masters Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2026
BioI am a master's student in Earth System Science at Stanford University and a member of the Terrestrial Carbon Lab advised by Professor Alison Hoyt. My research focuses on tropical peatland hydro-biogeochemistry, particularly how carbon dynamics, greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂ and CH₄), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and iron (Fe) interactions shape peatland ecosystem processes under changing hydrological conditions. Through field and laboratory research, I aim to improve our understanding of tropical peatlands and contribute to science-based solutions for climate change mitigation, wetland restoration, and sustainable land management.
