BioJeff Cabili is the former Director of Business Development at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Executive Education, where he worked from 2005 till 2015.
He has been an Instructor at Stanford Continuing Studies every quarter since 2006 on the topic "Effective Nonverbal Communication". He teaches entrepreneurs, senior executives, engineers, educators and graduate students how to deliver with impact their presentations through the effective use of body language and of voice modulation. The focus of his topic is on "How to Say it" rather than on "What to Say". The objectives of the course include the improvement of self-confidence, executive presence, how to say it with charisma and passion.
Jeff Cabili has also been teaching at the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Summer Institutes every summer since 2015. His students are high-schoolers from Colombia, Chile, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Japan, China, Singapore and the Middle East. The topics he teaches are "Effective Nonverbal Communication", "Storytelling", "Pitch Polishing", "Effective Leadership", "Business & Entrepreneurship" and "Design Thinking".
Jeff is also a keynote speaker on topics such as "The History of Innovation in Silicon Valley", "Leadership and Disruptive Technologies", which he delivers in 5 languages.
During 6 years, Jeff was a senior consultant in Total Quality Management and his clients included global companies such as Crédit Lyonnais (France), Banco Tornquist (Argentina), Banco Frances e Brasileiro (Brazil) and Valeo (France).
During 25+ years he held senior management positions at companies such as Hewlett Packard and Memorex (10 years). His latest management responsibility was that of Managing Director for Vicinity Southern Europe - based in Paris - where he was overseeing five European countries.
Jeff earned a MBA from the Wharton Graduate School (University of Pennsylvania) and a MS in Chemical Engineering from the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble (INPG). He also holds a Certificate on Interpersonal Dynamics for High Performers from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. -
Bodie Cabiyo
Social Sci Res Scholar
BioBodie uses interdisciplinary approaches to investigate nature-based solutions to climate change. He currently studies how policy and innovative technology can enable carbon-beneficial forest management. This work bridges industrial ecology, forest economics, and forest ecology. His modeling work has focused on the role of innovative wood use in reducing carbon emissions, both in California and East Africa. His applied policy work focuses on improving forest carbon offset protocols. The intent of this work is to promote the more credible translation of carbon dioxide removals to a market context. Bodie also has latent interests in the social aspects of technology adoption, short-lived climate pollutants, and soil carbon storage.
Bodie completed his PhD in the UC Berkeley Energy and Resources Group in 2022, where he was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. Bodie will usually abandon his desk after snow storms in the Sierras, or just on sunny afternoons when he’d rather be trail running. -
Blas Cabrera
Stanley G. Wojcicki Professor
BioFor five years up to mid-2015 has been Spokesperson for the SuperCDMS (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) collaboration with twenty-two member institutions, which mounted a series of experiments in the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota to search for the dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles or WIMPs. This direct detection effort has lead the world in sensitivity for much of the past ten years and utilizes novel cryogenic detectors using germanium and silicon crystals operated below 0.1 K. The completed CDMS II experiment operated 4 kg of germanium and 1 kg of silicon for two years and set the most sensitive limits at the time for spin-independent interactions for WIMPs masses above 40 GeV/c2. The SuperCDMS Soudan experiment operated 9 kg of germanium until the end of calendar 2015.
He was selected for a three-term as Project Director, through mid 2018, for the approved second generation (G2) SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment which will operate 30 kg of Ge and Si detectors in the deeper SNOLAB facility in Canada. The project searches for low mass WIMPs (0.1 - 10 GeV/c2) and the cryostat facility will allow future upgrades to search down to the solar neutrino floor. It has recently been approved for full construction by the DOE and NSF. -
Joel Cabrita
Associate Professor of History and, by courtesy, of Religious Studies and of African and African American Studies
BioJoel Cabrita is a historian of modern Southern Africa who focuses on Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and South Africa. She examines the transnational networks of the Southern African region including those which connect Southern Africans to the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. Her most recent book (The People’s Zion: Southern Africa, the United States and a Transatlantic Faith-Healing Movement, Harvard University Press, 2018) investigates the convergence of evangelical piety, transnational networks and the rise of industrialized societies in both Southern Africa and North America. The People's Zion was awarded the American Society of Church History's Albert C Outler Prize for 2019 https://churchhistory.org/grants-and-awards/ She is also the co-editor of a volume examining the global dimensions of Christian practice, advocating for a shift away from Western Christianity to the lateral connections connecting southern hemisphere religious practitioners (Relocating World Christianity, Brill, 2017).
Cabrita has a long-standing interest in how Southern Africans used and transformed a range of old and new media forms. Her first book (Text and Authority in the South African Nazaretha Church, Cambridge University Press, 2014) investigates the print culture of a large South African religious organization, while her edited collection (Religion, Media and Marginality in Africa, Ohio University Press, 2018) focuses on the intersection of media, Islam, Christianity and political expression in modern Africa.
Her current project (under contract with Ohio University Press) is the biography of a pioneering African feminist, Christian Pentecostal pioneer and liberation leader, Regina Gelana Twala (1908 – 1968), who co-founded Swaziland’s first political party in 1960 and introduced the Assemblies of God denomination to the region. Celebrated during her lifetime, Twala’s remarkable story is today largely forgotten, in part a consequence of her untimely death in 1968, one month before Swaziland’s independence. Cabrita’s project considers the radically new perspective a figure such as Twala affords on the contribution of women to Africa’s anti-colonial liberation movements and to evangelical history. The book will probe the politics of memory whereby certain African nationalist and religious icons have been erased from the historical record.
Cabrita did her PhD at the University of Cambridge and was subsequently a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. Before moving to Stanford, she held permanent posts at SOAS (University of London) and the University of Cambridge. Her research has been recognized by two major early-career research prizes, the British Arts and Humanities Early Career Research Fellowship (2015) and the Philip Leverhulme Prize (2017). -
