Frederik Wild
Postdoctoral Fellow, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University (Geldsetzer Lab) and the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health (Germany).
In my research, I apply micro-econometric methods, specifically quasi-experimental designs, to study how policy interventions and external shocks shape health, human capital, and socioeconomic outcomes. I particularly enjoy investigating large-scale datasets as well as geospatial data.

Jeffrey P. Wilde
Affiliate, Electrical Engineering
BioJeffrey P. Wilde received a Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from Stanford University, with thesis work in the area of holographic data storage. In 1996, he co-founded Quinta Corporation to develop high-capacity optical disk drive technology; the company was acquired by Seagate Technology in 1997, and he subsequently served as the Director of Research West for Seagate. In 2000 he co-founded Capella Photonics, a manufacturer of wavelength switching products for the telecommunications industry. Capella was acquired by Alcatel-Lucent (now Nokia) in 2013.
Since 2005 he has provided optical design consulting services to numerous companies, as well as serving as a Research Consultant with Ginzton Laboratory at Stanford University, where he has participated in research on advanced fiber communication technologies, optical superresolution imaging, and helped establish a program on X-ray phase-contrast imaging for security applications. He has also served as an adjunct lecturer for EE236A (Modern Optics) and EE347 (Optical Methods in Engineering Science, aka Lens Design). Dr. Wilde has 31 journal publications, 39 issued US patents, and is a Senior Member of OSA. -

BioI received my PhD in Classics from Stanford University in 2023. My research investigated the role of social networks in stabilizing, disrupting, and driving economic behaviors within ancient and premodern economies. My dissertation research combined archaeological and computational analyses to explore the relationship between community social relationships, wine production and drinking practices, and market exchange in the ancient Mediterranean world. Working as a computational archaeologist, my current scholarship combines expertise in archaeology, history, network science, sociology, and computer science to develop new models of socioeconomic interaction, and uses the ancient Mediterranean world as an optimal small data laboratory in which to test these models in the face of data scarcity. My broader academic research interests include Classical and Mediterranean archaeology, ancient economic history, economic sociology, social network analysis, and the computational study of the human past. I have worked on maritime and terrestrial archaeological projects across Italy, Turkey, Greece, and the United States, focusing specifically on ceramic materials. I was previously the Thomas F. Cooper Post-Doctoral Fellow and a Visiting Assistant Professor in Classics at Oberlin College, where I taught courses on Greek and Roman history, language, and culture, as well as ancient Greek and Latin language. I am excited to be back at Stanford as an Instructor for Continuing Studies.

Sara Wilkerson
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety and depressive disorders using a cognitive-behavioral framework. My research centers on the accurate assessment of internalizing disorders, as well as the etiology of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I welcome "cold" emails for all professional inquiries.

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.
