Cole M. Bunzel
Hoover Fellow
BioI am a historian and scholar of the contemporary Middle East, specializing in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, Islamic theology and law, and modern Islamic radicalism. In addition to more scholarly articles, I have written extensively on the Sunni jihadi movement (also known as Jihadi Salafism) for a more popular audience, including such monographs as "From Paper State to Caliphate: The Ideology of the Islamic State" (Brookings, 2015), "The Kingdom and the Caliphate: Saudi Arabia and the Islamic State" (Carnegie Endowment, 2016), and "Jihadism on Its Own Terms: Understanding a Movement" (Hoover Institution, 2017). My first book, which grew out of my 2018 doctoral dissertation at Princeton, is titled "Wahhābism: The History of a Militant Islamic Movement" (Princeton, 2023). In it I draw on a wide array of primary sources in Arabic, including rare manuscripts gathered from across the world, to reconstruct the history and doctrine of the controversial Wahhabi movement that arose in central Arabia in the mid-eighteenth century. The movement, as I show, was distinguished not only by a theological exclusivism that cast large swathes of the world’s Muslims as beyond the pale but also by a confrontational ethic encapsulated by the requirement to show hatred and enmity to so-called polytheists and unbelievers. These characteristics of what I call militant Wahhabism defined the Wahhabi mainstream until the early twentieth century, when the founder of the modern Saudi kingdom sought to tone them down and forge a reconciliation of sorts with the wider Islamic world. The militant heritage has been rediscovered and reappropriated, however, by the ideologues of the Jihadi Salafi movement.
My current book project, tentatively titled "Refounding the Kingdom," examines how Saudi Arabia in recent years, under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has tried to distance itself even further from Wahhabism, particularly through the refashioning of the Saudi historical narrative. The founding of the early Saudi state has been backdated (from c. 1744 to 1727) in such a way as to write Wahhabism out of the story, and a new national holiday known as Founding Day has been proclaimed to mark the new 1727 national origin story. The book aims to place this shift in historical (and historiographical) context and in the context of the crown prince's broader reform efforts. A second book project, on which I am working concurrently, is a study of the history of jihadi ideology with a focus on those scholars and actors who most critically shaped it. -

Adrien Burlacot
Assist Prof (By Courtesy), Biology
BioAdrien Burlacot is an algal physiologist specialized in the study of photosynthesis and bioenergetics of algal cell. Adrien is a physicist by training, he received a BS and MSc in Engineering from the Ecole polytechnique (France) and a MSc in Plant Biology from the University of Paris-Saclay (France). He then obtained a PhD in Plant Science at the CEA Cadarache (France) from the Aix-Marseille University (France) where he studied the regulations of the photosynthetic electron flow in green microalgae. After a postdoctoral position in 2021 at the University of California, Berkeley (USA) with Krishna K. Niyogi were he studied photoprotection in plants and algae, he started his lab at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford on fall 2021.
Microalgal photosynthesis is fixing annually ten times more CO2 than what humans reject. Acclimation to abiotic stress is a major driving force of microalgal community structure and productivity. Adrien investigates how microalgal photosynthesis dynamically acclimates to fluctuations in environmental parameters like light, CO2 or temperature. He will be using and developing high throughput screens based on quantitative chlorophyll fluorescence to understand the dynamics of photosynthesis. Adrien aims at unravelling the network of photosynthesis acclimatory genes and their bioenergetic role in the cell. He wants to use this knowledge and the new tools developed to propose new ways of harnessing photosynthesis for a more sustainable world. -

Jennifer Burns
Associate Professor of History
BioI am a historian of the twentieth century United States working at the intersection of intellectual, political, and cultural history, with a particular interest in ideas about the state, markets, and capitalism and how these play out in policy and politics.
My first book, Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right (Oxford, 2009), was an intellectual biography of the libertarian novelist Ayn Rand. For more on this book, watch my interviews with Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, or check out my website (www.jenniferburns.org). I am currently writing a book about the economist Milton Friedman.
At Stanford, I’ve been involved in a number of new initiatives, including serving as a faculty advisor to the Approaches to Capitalism Workshop at the Stanford Humanities Center, co-founding the Bay Area Consortium for the History of Ideas in America (BACHIA), and convening the Hoover Institution Library and Archives Workshop on Political Economy.
I teach courses on modern U.S. history, religious history, and the intellectual history of capitalism.
My writing on the history of conservatism, libertarianism, and liberalism has appeared in a number of academic and popular journals, including Reviews in American History, Modern Intellectual History, Journal of Cultural Economy, The New York Times, The New Republic, and Dissent.

Noah Burns
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch in our group explores the boundaries of modern organic synthesis to enable the more rapid creation of the highest molecular complexity in a predictable and controllable fashion. We are particularly inspired by natural products not only because of their importance as synthetic targets but also due to their ability to serve as invaluable identifiers of unanswered scientific questions.
One major focus of our research is selective halogenation of organic molecules. Dihalogenation and halofunctionalization encompass some of the most fundamental transformations in our field, yet methods capable of accessing relevant halogenated motifs in a chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective fashion are lacking.
We are also interested in the practical total synthesis of natural products for which there is true impetus for their construction due to unanswered chemical, medicinal, biological, or biophysical questions. We are specifically engaged in the construction of unusual lipids with unanswered questions regarding their physical properties and for which synthesis offers a unique opportunity for study. -
Paul Berne Burow
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Earth System Science at Stanford University. I am an interdisciplinary social-environmental scientist studying how human communities are impacted by environmental change. My work examines the cultural dynamics of environmental change in North America across scales using mixed methods from ethnography and archival research to field ecology and spatial analysis. My postdoctoral project explores the social dimensions and institutional effectiveness of collaborative forest stewardship with federal agencies and Native Nations in California.
My previous work examined the social and cultural dimensions of environmental change in the North America's Great Basin. Based on thirty-six months of field-based ethnographic and historical research in California and Nevada, it investigated the cultural politics of land and its stewardship in dryland forest and shrub steppe ecosystems as it intersected with a changing climate, land use histories, and environmental governance regimes. Landscapes are undergoing material transformation due to climate change, land use practices, and settler colonialism, in turn reshaping how people relate to land, substantiate their place on it, and make claims to territory. This is creating new socioecological configurations of people, land, and place I call ecologies of belonging, the subject of my current book manuscript.
Broadly, my research program addresses the sociocultural dimensions of climate and land use change, Indigenous environmental justice, and rural social inequality across North America. My areas of research and teaching interest include environmental anthropology, Indigenous environmental studies, ethnoecology, and human-environment geography. I am also engaged in community-based participatory research projects with Tribal Nations to expand Indigenous-led land stewardship and protect cultural landscapes from degradation for the benefit of future generations.
