Erinn Drage
Ph.D. Student in Environmental Social Sciences, admitted Autumn 2025
BioErinn Drage is an environmental filmmaker, conservation social scientist, and outdoor adventure guide from Canmore, Alberta. In addition to her primary work in international conservation policy, she has guided expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica and written, edited, and directed award-winning documentary films. Her past scientific research has included studying nature-based tourism economies in Alaska and social well-being, human rights, and conservation in Kanungu, Uganda. At Stanford, Erinn is exploring the political and economic dimensions of biodiversity conservation, with a focus on community-led stewardship and the role of human institutions in shaping conservation outcomes. When not pursuing her intellectual passions around conservation, she can usually be found trail running, mountain biking, or backcountry skiing in the nearest mountain ranges.

Angelo Dragone
Associate Professor of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioAngelo Dragone is an Associate Professor of Photon Science and Electrical Engineering (by courtesy). He has over 20 years of experience in the research and development of Instrumentation for Scientific experiments. He received his Ph.D. in Microelectronics from the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, for his research on mixed-signal readout architecture for radiation detectors, conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He worked in the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2004, before joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in 2008. Over the past 15 years, he has been designing radiation detectors, with a focus on innovative architectural solutions for state-of-the-art scientific instruments and sensor interfaces. These solutions have applications in photon science, particle physics, medical imaging, and national security. At SLAC, he focused his research on designing high frame rate, large dynamic range X-ray detectors for the Linac Coherent Light Source SLAC X-ray Free-electron Laser facility. Since 2012, he has held a management position as head of the Integrated Circuits Department within the Instrumentation Division of the Technology Innovation Directorate (TID) at SLAC. During the past three years, Dr. Dragone has been working on the strategic R&D planning for the SLAC X-ray detectors Initiative and leads, as Program Director, TID Detector R&D, and the applied Microelectronics program. Recently, he has been appointed as Deputy Associate Lab Director for TID strategy. His current research interests are on ultra-fast X-ray detector architectures for X-ray Free-Electron Lasers applications and developing efficient, scalable systems with "smart" real-time processing capabilities. More broadly, he is interested in understanding the fundamental performance limits of radiation detection systems.
