Griffin Srednick
Postdoctoral Scholar, Oceans
BioI am currently an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Stanford. I am a community ecologist broadly focused on the spatiotemporal dynamics of marine communities. My postdoctoral research is focused on how coral reef communities recover from disturbance and how they will respond to the effects of climate change. This research is conducted within the Moorea NSF funded Long Term Ecological Research program where I examine how spatiotemporal heterogeneity in coral communities can promote community resilience. This research leverages oceanographic modeling with coral reef ecology to understand how coral communities recover following disturbance. My scientific interests revolve around understanding the complex architecture of ecosystems and how applying holistic understanding of ecosystems can broaden conservation and restoration approaches.

Rafael Stern
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioRafael Stern was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is 35 years old, and married to Gal. Rafael has a BSc in Geography from the Geosciences Department of Universidade Federal Fluminense, in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He has a MSc from the Climate and Environment Department of the National Institute of Amazon Research in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, with the supervision of prof. Paulo Artaxo, and he measured the physical and chemical properties of atmospheric particles during forest fires season in the Amazon rainforest. He has a PhD from the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, with the supervision of prof. Dan Yakir, and he used a mobile eddy covariance station to compare the biogeophysical and biogeochemical effects of different ecosystems and of PV fields on drylands.

David K. Stevenson, M.D.
Harold K. Faber Professor of Pediatrics and Professor, by courtesy, of Obstetrics and Gynecology and of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
On Partial Leave from 09/01/2024 To 08/31/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research is focused on the study of the ontogeny and control of heme catabolism and bilirubin production in the developing neonate. A better understanding of the role of increased bilirubin production in neonatal jaundice and the prevention of hemolytic jaundice has remained an overall objective of our program. We are also study the causes of preterm birth and ways to prevent it.
