Erin Mordecai
Associate Professor of Biology and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on the ecology of infectious disease. We are interested in how climate, species interactions, and global change drive infectious disease dynamics in humans and natural ecosystems. This research combines mathematical modeling and empirical work. Our main study systems include vector-borne diseases in humans and fungal pathogens in California grasses.

João Vitor Moreira
Masters Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2025
BioExperienced in AI development, data science, and software engineering, with hands-on work in content moderation and abuse detection systems. I design and evaluate models that balance safety and user experience, including human-in-the-loop workflows and bias-aware approaches. My research explores how information propagates across social networks and how bias emerges in AI-driven learning environments. Motivated to work in Trust & Safety to build scalable systems that protect users and promote healthy online communities.

Kimber Moreland, Ph.D.
Physical Science Research Scientist
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrently my research mainly focuses on soil carbon biogeochemistry in different land use types such as agriculture, forests, meadows, and grasslands. I use stable and radioactive isotopes to trace the movement of carbon and nitrogen through the entire soil system. Specifically, I have focused on response to fire, disturbance, and climate change.

Jeff Morgan
Sponsored By Stanford University, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioI provide biomechanical expertise for clinical evaluations of patients post injury with the goal of reducing re-injury rates and improving performance. As a sports-focused lab, we specialize in running gait analysis, ACL reconstruction return to sport testing, and other lower extremity injuries. Our primary tool for analysis is 3D motion capture coupled with tri-axial force data which allows us to evaluate a patient's movement and the underlying forces as they complete sport specific tasks.
I manage research studies evaluating the contribution of running mechanics to bone stress injuries and improving patient outcomes after ACL and MPFL reconstruction. -

Elizabeth Mormino
Associate Professor (Research) of Neurology and Neurological Sciences (Neurology Research)
BioDr. Beth Mormino completed a PhD in Neuroscience at UC Berkeley in the laboratory of Dr. William Jagust, where she performed some of the initial studies applying Amyloid PET with the tracer PIB to clinically normal older individuals. This initial work provided evidence that the pathophysiological processes of Alzheimer’s disease begin years before clinical symptoms and are associated with subtle changes to brain regions critical for memory. During her postdoctoral fellowship with Drs. Reisa Sperling and Keith Johnson at Massachusetts General Hospital she used multimodal imaging techniques to understand longitudinal cognitive changes among individuals classified as preclinical AD. In 2017, Dr. Mormino joined the faculty at Stanford University in the department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences. Her research program focuses on combining imaging and genetics to predict cognitive trajectories over time, and the integration of novel PET scans to better understand human aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
