Jane Woodward
Adjunct Professor, Atmosphere and Energy
BioJane Woodward is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University where she has taught classes on energy and environment since 1991. She currently serves on the teaching teams for Understand Energy and Stanford Climate Ventures. Jane also serves on Stanford's Precourt Institute for Energy Advisory Council and has founded and continues to fund multiple sustainable energy education initiatives at the university.
Jane is a Founder and Managing Partner of WovenEarth Ventures, a US early-stage climate venture fund of funds. Additionally, she is an investor in several early-stage sustainable energy companies and funds, as well as an advisor and director for some of them.
Jane is a Founding Partner at MAP Energy, an energy investment firm currently focused on oil and gas royalty interests. MAP began investing in natural gas mineral rights in 1987, wind energy in 2004, utility scale solar in 2015, and energy storage in 2017. In December 2020, MAP sold its renewable energy and energy storage assets under management to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP). The company remains one of the longest-standing private energy investment fund management firms in the US.
In 2016, Jane created The Foster Museum, a 14,000-square-foot art venue in Palo Alto, to share artist-explorer Tony Foster’s powerful exhibitions of watercolor journeys with an intention to inspire connection to the natural world.
Prior to founding MAP in 1987, Jane worked as an exploration geologist with ARCO Exploration Company and later as a petroleum engineering consultant to Stanford University’s endowment. Jane has a BS in Geology from UC Santa Barbara, an MS in Engineering and Petroleum Geology, and an MBA, both from Stanford University. -

Elijah Woolery
Affiliate, Programs
BioElijah trained in the Product Design program at Stanford University, where he now teaches as a lecturer. He has a background in photography and filmmaking, as well as product & industrial design. He is currently the Director of Design Education at InVision, a software design and collaboration platform.
After working as a lead design engineer with Light & Motion, a vertically integrated manufacturer of consumer underwater video and photography equipment, he pursued graduate studies in marine biology at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and co-founded the print magazine Wetpixel Quarterly in 2007. He was a founder in the second class of Innovation Endeavor's Runway Program, a venture-backed startup accelerator backed by Eric Schmidt's fund.
He also founded Out of the Deep Blue, a design consultancy, where he worked on web and mobile applications for clients like Genentech and Kaiser Permanente. As a life-long worshiper of the ocean, he loves to surf, dive, and kayak. -
Bruce A. Wooley
The Robert L. and Audrey S. Hancock Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioBruce Wooley is the Robert L. and Audrey S. Hancock Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1970, and from 1970 to 1984 he was a member of the research staff at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ. He joined the faculty at Stanford in 1984. At Stanford he has served as the Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Senior Associate Dean of Engineering and the Director of the Integrated Circuits Laboratory. His research is in the field of integrated circuit design, where his interests include low-power mixed-signal circuit design, oversampling analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, circuit design techniques for video and image data acquisition, high-speed embedded memory, high-performance packaging and testing, and circuits for wireless and wireline communications.
Prof. Wooley is a Fellow of the IEEE and a past President of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. He has served as the Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and as the Chairman of both the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and the Symposium on VLSI Circuits. Awards he has received include the University Medal from the University of California, Berkeley, the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits Best Paper Award, the Outstanding Alumnus Award from the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley, and the IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits. -
Mulate Zerihun Workeneh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Critical Care
BioDr. Mulate Zerihun Workeneh is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Dr. Bereketeab Haileselassie’s laboratory in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. He earned a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where he developed peptide therapeutics that target mitochondrial protein-protein interactions involved in cardiovascular disease. Dr. Workeneh’s research uses medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, peptide engineering, computational modeling and mitochondrial biology to understand how the disease occurs and to develop new ways to treat it. During his doctoral training, he designed and evaluated novel linear and macrocyclic peptide inhibitors that alter mitochondrial dynamics to mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiovascular injury. His work at Stanford is focused on defining the role of mitochondrial dynamics in endothelial dysfunction in sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). He is working to develop peptide-based therapeutics that maintain mitochondrial function, improve vascular health and prevent organ failure in critically ill patients by integrating approaches in chemical biology, molecular and cellular biology, and translational drug discovery. Dr. Workeneh has publications in leading medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and mitochondrial biology journals and is an inventor on patents related to mitochondrial protein-protein interaction inhibitors. His goal is to translate advances in mitochondrial biology into first-in-class therapeutics for cardiovascular disease, sepsis, and other disorders linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. He is excited to work across disciplines at Stanford to help push biomedical research forward.

Britt Wray
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Wray is the Director of CIRCLE at Stanford Psychiatry, a research and action initiative focused on Community-minded Interventions for Resilience, Climate Leadership and Emotional wellbeing in the Stanford School of Medicine. Her research focuses on the mental health impacts of climate change on young people ('emerging adults') and frontline community members, community-minded psychosocial support interventions, and public engagement for improved mental and planetary health. Wray focuses on co-designing and evaluating evidence-based climate distress (climate anxiety/eco-anxiety) interventions with impacted communities and international networks of Integrated Youth Services using a health equity lens, and brings expertise in conceptual models of climate distress, different measurement modalities for climate impact exposures on mental health, community-engaged research, and co-design methods. Previously, Wray was a Human and Planetary Health Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health, Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. She is the author of two books; her latest Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Anxiety, is an impassioned generational perspective on how to stay sane amid climate disruption and was a finalist for the 2022 Governor General’s Award. She is the recipient of the 2025 American Climate Leadership Awards (Runner Up), 2023 Canadian Eco-Hero Award and top award winner of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications, given by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Her first book is Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics and Risks of De-Extinction (Greystone Books 2017) and was named a "best book of the year" by The New Yorker. Dr Wray holds a PhD in Science Communication from the University of Copenhagen. She has hosted and produced several science radio programs, podcasts and television programs for international broadcasters including the BBC and CBC, and she has spoken at TED and the World Economic Forum. She is the Founder of Unthinkable (unthinkable.substack.com), a newsletter about building courage and taking meaningful action on the far side of climate grief.
