Marina Pouliadi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioI am a Specialist Counselling Psychologist, with extensive experience in working with adults, adolescents, and children diagnosed with Eating Disorders. I have been trained in a variety of psychological approaches for the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge-Eating Disorder, and other non-specified Eating Disorders, during my doctoral studies. My research interests lie within mechanisms of change in evidence-based treatments for this population. I am also investigating helpful and hindering treatment experiences of patients that receive first-line models for the treatment of Eating Disorders. As a Postdoctoral Scholar in the department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, I aim to explore different aspects of parental emotion regulation within the context of Family-Based Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa.

Maggie Poulos
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2023
BioLying at the intersection of marine socioecology and adaptive ocean governance, Maggie is drawn to the puzzle of how to capture an intangible value or worldview for marine protected area management. She studies how biocultural approaches, including indicator development, are mechanisms for the inclusion of localized social and cultural values in marine planning. Through a co-production of knowledge framework and related field research tools, Maggie aims to co-create applied research that makes marine policy a more diverse and equitable space for local and Indigenous communities. Before her time at Stanford, Maggie earned a Master of Public Policy from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies from Macalester College.

Manu Prakash
Associate Professor of Bioengineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Oceans and of Biology
BioWe use interdisciplinary approaches including theory and experiments to understand how computation is embodied in biological matter. Examples include cognition in single cell protists and morphological computing in animals with no neurons and origins of complex behavior in multi-cellular systems. Broadly, we invent new tools for studying non-model organisms with significant focus on life in the ocean - addressing fundamental questions such as how do cells sense pressure or gravity? Finally, we are dedicated towards inventing and distributing “frugal science” tools to democratize access to science (previous inventions used worldwide: Foldscope, Abuzz), diagnostics of deadly diseases like malaria and convening global citizen science communities to tackle planetary scale environmental challenges such as mosquito surveillance or plankton surveillance by citizen sailors mapping the ocean in the age of Anthropocene.
