Lars Steinmetz
Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe apply diverse genomic approaches to understand how genetic variation affects health and disease by: 1) functional and mechanistic analyses of gene regulation, 2) studies of meiotic recombination and inheritance, 3) analyses of genetic and environmental interactions, and 4) characterization of diseases in human cells and model organisms. We integrate wet lab and computational genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic approaches, and develop technologies to enable personalized medicine.

Mitchell L. Stevens
Professor of Education
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy most recent book is Seeing the World: How US Universities Make Knowledge in a Global Era, coauthored with Cynthia Miller-Idriss and Seteney Shami.
With Ben Gebre-Medhin (UC Berkeley) I developed a synthetic account of change in US higher education.
With Mike Kirst I edited a volume on the organizational ecology of US colleges and universities.
With Arik Lifschitz and Michael Sauder I developed a theory of sports and status in US higher education.
Earlier work on college admissions, home education, and (with Wendy Espeland) quantification continues to inform my scholarly world view. -
Kaye Storm
Program Coordinator, Mechanical Engineering - Design
Staff, Office of Science OutreachBioKaye Storm joined Stanford University as the Director of the Office of Science Outreach in January 2008 and retired from that position at the end of 2019. Prior to that time, she was the founding Executive Director and later the Director of Special Projects at IgnitED, an educational nonprofit in the San Francisco Bay Area specializing in professional development for science, math, engineering and technology teachers. Kaye also served as Marketing Manager for the University College London and created engineering graduate fellowship and Japan research fellowship programs for the American Electronics Association. Kaye also taught high school in Santa Clara, California for eight years and helped establish the Girls’ Middle School in Palo Alto, California.

Jenny Suckale
Assistant Professor of Geophysics and, by courtesy, of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
On Leave from 04/01/2021 To 06/30/2021BioBefore joining Stanford in January 2014, I held a position as Lecturer in Applied Mathematics and as a Ziff Environmental Fellow at Harvard. I hold a PhD in Geophysics from MIT and a Master in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School. Prior to joining graduate school, I worked as a scientific consultant for different international organizations aiming to reduce the impact of natural and environmental disasters in vulnerable communities. The goal of my research is to advance our basic understanding and predictive capabilities of complex multi-phase flows that are fundamental to Earth science. I pursue this goal by developing original computational methods customized for the problem at hand. The phenomena I explore range from the microscopic to the planetary scale and space a wide variety of geophysics systems such as volcanoes, glaciers, and magma oceans. I have taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in scientific, planetary evolution, and natural disasters. Since arriving at Stanford in January 2014, I have co-taught GES 118, Understanding Natural Hazards, Quantifying Risk, Increasing Resilience in Highly Urbanized Regions
