Randall Holmes
Lecturer, Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources
BioAfter completing service in the U.S. Army, Dr. Holmes earned his BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering, MS in Earth System Science, and PhD from Stanford's Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER) focused on sustainable groundwater management in California. As an E-IPER MS Lecturer, Dr. Holmes co-designs and delivers curriculum that bridges theory with practical applications exemplified by the E-IPER MS Capstone Seminar. He creates collaborative learning environments where students develop critical systems-thinking skills through hands-on engagement with complex sustainability challenges. Dr. Holmes' teaching philosophy emphasizes an inclusive, problem-posing education with pedagogical approaches that prepare diverse student populations for both academic success and real-world problem-solving. His interdisciplinary background enables him to connect students with cross-cutting perspectives essential for addressing today's most pressing environmental and resource sustainability issues.

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.
