Frances Moore
Fellow, Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences
BioFrances C. Moore finished her PhD in 2015. Her research focuses on understanding the rate and effectiveness of adaptation by farmers in order to understand the impact of climate change on future agricultural production and food security. She combines statistical and mathematical modeling with agricultural data and climate model output in order to better understand how farmers will respond to a changing climate, drawing heavily on economics and econometric methods.
Before Stanford, Fran obtained a Masters in Environmental Science at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies where her research focussed on the construction of adaptation policy in the international negotiations. She observed and participated in several of the UNFCCC meetings, culminating in COP15 in Copenhagen.
Fran has also published several articles on the mitigation potential of short-lived greenhouse gases in developing countries and is the co-editor of Sudden and Disruptive Climate Change: Exploring the Real Risks and How We Can Avoid Them. Fran is a Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow and a former Switzer Foundation Fellow and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. She also holds a B.A., summa cum laude, in Earth and Planetary Science from Harvard University. -

José Moreno Reyes
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioI lead AIJ Global, a multi-family-owned private investment firm that backs first-time CEOs acquiring small businesses through search funds. Our aim is to build durable, impact-driven businesses and leaders who are ready. I have held four board seats across four countries, with one successful exit in 2025. I trained as an electronic and computer engineer and worked in IT, data systems, and web development before moving into investing. I came to Stanford to explore business topics and update my thinking as the world changes rapidly and our work spans diverse sectors and geographies. I am now studying engineering topics because AI is too broad and moving too fast for most organizations to keep pace. Understanding AI alone is not enough; decision science and operational thinking are what make it work in practice. I want to help close that gap across our portfolio companies and other investments. I also advise on AI adoption and operational strategy. Stanford GSB alumnus. MAM, Yale. Outside work, I enjoy sailing, modern art, and food culture, from neighborhood kitchens to omakase. Happy to connect on search funds, venture investing, applied AI, and board governance.

Jeff Morgan
Sponsored By Stanford University, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioI provide biomechanical expertise for clinical evaluations of patients post injury with the goal of reducing re-injury rates and improving performance. As a sports-focused lab, we specialize in running gait analysis, ACL reconstruction return to sport testing, and other lower extremity injuries. Our primary tool for analysis is 3D motion capture coupled with tri-axial force data which allows us to evaluate a patient's movement and the underlying forces as they complete sport specific tasks.
I manage research studies evaluating the contribution of running mechanics to bone stress injuries and improving patient outcomes after ACL and MPFL reconstruction.
