Randall Holmes
Lecturer
BioAfter completing service in the U.S. Army, Dr. Holmes earned his BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering, MS in Earth System Science, and PhD from Stanford's Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER) focused on sustainable groundwater management in California. As an E-IPER MS Lecturer, Dr. Holmes co-designs and delivers curriculum that bridges theory with practical applications exemplified by the E-IPER MS Capstone Seminar. He creates collaborative learning environments where students develop critical systems-thinking skills through hands-on engagement with complex sustainability challenges. Dr. Holmes' teaching philosophy emphasizes an inclusive, problem-posing education with pedagogical approaches that prepare diverse student populations for both academic success and real-world problem-solving. His interdisciplinary background enables him to connect students with cross-cutting perspectives essential for addressing today's most pressing environmental and resource sustainability issues.

Skylar Holmes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Holmes’ research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development and creating biomechanically-driven, evidence-based interventions to improve mobility. I aim to develop objective methods to characterize pain in KOA, identifying pain profiles linked to worsening symptoms and functional decline. Utilizing functional MRI, mechanical pain sensitivity tests, and imaging of muscles and the knee joint, Dr. Holmes’ work seeks to clarify disease progression and identify biomarkers to enhance clinical care and reduce the burden of KOA. Dr. Holmes earned her PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her MS and BS in Kinesiology from California State University Fullerton.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab has been developing tools for the analyses of complex data structures, extending work on multivariate data to structured multitable table that include graphs, networks and trees as well as categorical and continuous measurements.
We created and support the Bioconductor package phyloseq for the analyses of microbial ecology data from the microbiome. We have specialized in developing interactive graphical visualization tools for doing reproducible research in biology.
