Avery Bick
Sustainable and Humane Food Systems Data Science Fellow
BioAvery Bick is the Sustainable and Humane Food Systems Research Fellow at Stanford's Climate & Energy Policy Program (CEPP). He has spent his career working on the multifaceted socio-environmental challenges facing our planet and society.
Avery has authored and contributed to publications and white papers on a variety of topics, including acoustic ecological monitoring, socioeconomic inequities in flood risk, wildfire risk to electrical utilities, and extension of scientific data into art. Overall, he believes deeply in the ability of data and research to elucidate socio-environmental issues. However, he also recognizes that scientific knowledge is often not well integrated into policy. Thus, he works closely with legal and policy experts at his current CEPP fellowship to create focused, impactful research on environmental and health impacts of our agricultural systems, as well as regulatory gaps, particularly within California.
He studied undergraduate environmental engineering at SUNY Buffalo, focusing on bioremediation of nitrate and toxic metals. He then worked for engineering consulting firm CH2M in New York City, where he testes and analyzed the effectiveness of nitrogen removal technologies at the City's wastewater treatment plants.
During his M.S. in Environmental Engineering & Science at Stanford, Avery shifted focus to the use of geospatial analysis techniques to study disaster risk and socioeconomic inequity, finding that GIS provided a mechanism for both effective scientific analysis and visual storytelling.
This geospatial focus continued during his PhD at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, performed in Oslo and Trondheim, Norway. While in Norway, Avery was helped lead the installation of a national-scale acoustic monitoring system, which was used to monitor bird biodiversity and migration timings at high spatiotemporal resolutions. -

Alex Bien
Accel System Operator I, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a 2022 graduate with a B.S. in physics from the University of Maryland at College Park, and I currently operate the world's longest and most powerful linear particle accelerator administrated by Stanford University under the direction of the US Department of Energy. Here I interface directly with the machinery, controls, and safety systems for three linear accelerator facilities: FACET-II where electron-pair beams are shot thru hot plasma to study novel wakefield acceleration techniques, LCLS where coherent x-rays of very high energy (and inversely low wavelength) probe deep into matter for imaging at atomic scales, and LCLS-II where commissioning is underway to produce a much more powerful megahertz rep rate superconducting beam that can leverage the same XFEL mechanism to (instead of just taking snapshots) also resolve the dynamics of chemical reactions in situ.

Anna Bigelow
Associate Professor of Religious Studies
BioAnna Bigelow is Associate Professor of Islamic Studies in the Department of Religious Studies at Stanford University. She received her MA from Columbia University (1995) and PhD in Religious Studies from UC Santa Barbara (2004) with a focus on South Asian Islam. Her book, Sharing the Sacred: Practicing Pluralism in Muslim North India (Oxford University Press, 2010) is a study of a Muslim majority community in Indian Punjab and the shared sacred and civic spaces in that community. Bigelow's current projects include a comparative study of shared sacred sites in India and Turkey and an edited volume on material objects in Islamic cultures.
