Jordan Ross Herring
Postdoctoral Scholar, Emergency Medicine
BioI am a social scientist whose research examines how Medicaid policy, health care delivery system design, and large-scale structural social factors influence health care access and service delivery for low-income and underserved populations, drawing on core conceptual frameworks from economics and sociology. I primarily use quantitative analysis, quasi-experimental research designs, and large administrative data to evaluate the effects of public policies on health care access and health outcomes.
I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where I work under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Lin on projects examining how Medicaid managed care network size relates to accessing health care. Prior to joining Stanford in February 2025, I conducted research at the Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity within the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University while completing my Ph.D. At the Mullan Institute, my work focused on health workforce policy and workforce diversity and was primarily funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
I hold a Ph.D. in public policy (public finance track) from George Washington University, an M.S. in economics from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a B.S. in international economics from Texas Tech University. My research has been published in journals such as Social Science & Medicine, JAMA Health Forum, and Health Affairs. Prior to my doctoral training, I served as an economic research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, where I worked on projects examining the macroeconomic effects of health status and health insurance coverage. -
Rachel Herring
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2024
BioRachel Herring (Choctaw Nation) is investigating pathways towards a Just Transition as an E-IPER PhD student. Previously, she has recommended policy alternatives for domestic mining with the Department of Energy’s Indian Energy Program, and has explored impacts of critical mineral extraction on Native land as a Kathryn Wasserman Davis Conflict Transformation Fellow. Additionally, as a Fulbright Fellow and National Geographic Explorer, Rachel continues to investigate the intersection between the clean energy transition and the depopulation crisis in rural Japan. She was named a Next Generation Photographer by the 2024 Japan Photo Award in Kyoto, and her work has appeared in the New York Times.

Thomas Hersbach
Project Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioThom Hersbach is a Policy Fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and a Project Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. His interests span all areas of the energy transition, and his work ranges from basic science studies of water splitting catalysts to exploring the socio-technological contexts of the hydrogen economy and the future chemical refinery complex.
In his free time, Thom enjoys primal movement, running, weightlifting, (guerilla) gardening, baking sourdough bread, brewing coffee/beer, and reading about soil ecology. -
Daniel Herschlag
Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research is aimed at understanding the chemical and physical behavior underlying biological macromolecules and systems, as these behaviors define the capabilities and limitations of biology. Toward this end we study folding and catalysis by RNA, as well as catalysis by protein enzymes.

Gina Hervey
Sustainable and Humane Food Systems Legal Fellow
BioGina Hervey (she/her) is Stanford Law School’s first Sustainable and Humane Food Systems Legal Fellow. Having grown up on a farm in Northern California, Gina recognized early in life that there are several environmental, social, and economic inequities embedded within our food system. Thus, after graduating from U.C. Berkeley she spent several years working in the agroecology space in the United States and internationally. Recognizing the need for more structural reform, Gina then returned to academia to complete a J.D. in environmental law at Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University (Haub Law) and a Master’s in Environmental Management at Yale School of the Environment.
Prior to her time at Stanford, Gina worked with several food-systems legal nonprofits dedicated to curbing the negative impacts of industrial agriculture while advocating for equitable and resilient alternatives. Most recently, Gina was with the Food and Farm Business Law Center at Haub Law, working directly with farmers navigating complex legal frameworks; and the Center for Food Safety, where she focused her time on pressing impact litigation within the food law realm.
Gina is deeply committed to addressing the urgent need for a more just, resilient, and regenerative food system and is thrilled to have such an opportunity to do so with Stanford Law School. -
