Dan Wilkins
Affiliate, KIPAC
BioI am a research scientist, astronomer and astrophysicist in the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University. My research focuses on how material spiralling into a supermassive black hole in the centre of a galaxy is able to release huge amounts of energy, powering some of the brightest objects we see in the Universe.
My research bridges the divide between observational and theoretical studies of black holes, using state of the art space telescopes, developing novel data analysis techniques and designing computer simulations of how light travels around black holes. I am using the X-rays that are emitted and measurements of how they reflect off of the material in its final moments before it falls in to create a 3D map of the extreme environment just outside the event horizon. I am interested in what happens to material and light just before it is lost into the black hole, how the corona that produces the radiation we see is powered, and how black holes are able to launch jets at almost the speed of light.
I am passionate about teaching and communicating science to the general public. I regularly give public lectures to a wide variety of audiences and am the founder and host of the Discover Our Universe public lecture series from Stanford's Kavli Institute of Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology. I have made a number of appearances on TV and radio, and am actively involved in a number of initiatives to involve the public in astronomy and physics. -

Ines Willemyns
LLM Teaching Fellow, IELBP & Lecturer in Law
BioDr. Ines Willemyns is the Teaching Fellow for the International Economic Law, Business and Policy (IELBP) LL.M program and Lecturer in Law at Stanford Law School. Ines’ research focuses on the regulation of digital services under international trade law. Her research has been published in leading academic journals, including the Journal of International Economic Law, the European Journal of International Law and the Journal of World Trade. Her monograph on digital services in international trade law was published with Cambridge University Press in 2021.
Before joining Stanford Law School, Ines practiced EU and international trade law as a senior associate in the Brussels offices of Baker McKenzie and Sidley Austin. Prior to entering practice, Ines conducted her PhD research at KU Leuven. Ines also interned at the Appellate Body Secretariat of the WTO in 2019. -
Jane Kathryn Willenbring
Associate Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and, by courtesy of Earth System Science
BioJane Willenbring joined Stanford as an Associate Professor in the summer of 2020. Jane is a geologist who solves problems related to the Earth surface. Her research is primarily done to understand the evolution of the Earth’s surface - especially how landscapes are affected by tectonics, climate change, and life. She and her research group use geochemical techniques, high-resolution topographic data, field observations, and, when possible, couple these data to landscape evolution numerical models and ice sheet models. The geochemical tools she uses and develops often include cosmogenic nuclide systems, which provide powerful, novel methods to constrain rates of erosion and mineral weathering. Jane has also started to organize citizen science campaigns and apply basic science principles to problems of human health with an ultimate broader impact goal of cleaning up urban areas and environments impacted by agriculture. She received her B.Sc. with honors from the North Dakota State University where she was a McNair Scholar and in the NDSU scholars program. She holds a Masters degree from Boston University. Her Ph.D. is in Earth Science from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada where she was a Killam Scholar. She was a Synthesis Postdoctoral Fellow through the National Center for Earth Surface Dynamics at the Saint Anthony Falls Lab at the University of Minnesota, and an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow and then subsequently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Helmholz GFZ Potsdam, Germany. Jane was previously an Associate Professor in the Geosciences Research Division and Thomas and Evelyn Page Chancellor's Endowed Faculty Fellow at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego where she was the director of the Scripps Cosmogenic Isotope Laboratory (SCI-Lab). She was also a tenure-track professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She will be a Stanford University Gabilan Faculty Fellow in 2021-2023. She is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and was the inaugural recipient of the Marguerite T. Williams award from the American Geophysical Union.

Francis Robert Willett
Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery
BioFrank Willett is co-director of the Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory. Our group develops brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to restore movement and communication to people with neurological disorders. Recent contributions include handwriting and speech-based BCIs that set new records for communication speed and accuracy in people with paralysis. More broadly, we are interested in computational approaches to understanding brain function and recordings, with a focus on how the human brain represents movement and language.

Aniya Williams
Undergraduate, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
BioMy name is Aniya Williams, a student-athlete on the Stanford Women’s Soccer Team. I've played soccer since I was 3 years old, and have been fortunate enough to represent Mexico at the U-17 and U-20 levels. I’m the founder of the Among Warriors Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping underprivileged youth gain access to sports and mentorship with the aim of empowering them to operate at a level of excellence. I plan to major in business or medicine, and desire to continue building a life that encompasses purpose, performance, and impact.
