Falk Schuetzenmeister

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Dr. Falk Schuetzenmeister is currently a Geospatial Software Engineer at the Nature Conservancy.

Jasmine Nirody

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Jasmine Norida's lab studies the physics of how organisms interact with (heterogeneous, dynamic) natural environments, and how these interactions shape organismal form and behavior. The lab asks questions that sit at the intersection of behavior, biophysics, and evolution, and uses both theoretical and experimental tools to work with a wide range of organismal systems.

Dmitriy Morozov

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Dmitriy’s work is concerned with geometric and topological data analysis, especially with the development of efficient algorithms and software in this field.

Alan Di Vittorio

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Alan's aim is to understand the co-evolution of human and earth systems in order to inform decision making, planning, and policy related to climate mitigation and adaptation.

Fatma Deniz

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Fatma Deniz is interested in how sensory information is encoded in the brain and uses machine learning approaches to fit computational models to large-scale brain data acquired using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Fatma works at the intersection between computer science, linguistics, music, and neuroscience. Her current focus is on the cross-modal representation of language in the human brain.

Saron Goitom

Berkeley Computational Social Science Fellow
Epidemiology, Public Health, UC Berkeley

Saron Goitom is a PhD student in the Department of Epidemiology at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health. Her current research interests include contextualizing the way in which stressful life events during pregnancy influence their children's internalizing behaviors in early childhood, by examining the influence of larger structural factors like poverty, trauma, racism and discrimination. In her previous work as a programmer analyst, she was involved in evaluating the effectiveness of safety-net programs in reducing acute care utilization and increasing long-term linkage to primary care,...

Qing Zhu

BIDS Research Affiliate
Climate & Ecosystem Sciences, LBNL
Research Scientist, Climate & Ecosystem Sciences, LBNL

Qing Zhu is the major developer of the US Department Of Energy's (DOE) new generation earth system model E3SM, responsible for the land carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus cycles, and he also serves as a core member in the coupled BGC experiment team. Zhu’s current research activities focus on the complex biogeophysical and biogeochemical interactions among the atmosphere, vegetation, soil, and climate system.

Nicholas Swanson-Hysell

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
Earth and Planetary Science, UC Berkeley
Assistant Professor, Earth and Planetary Science, UC Berkeley

Nicholas Swanson-Hysell's research is focused on integrating original geological field observations with laboratory datasets in order to further understanding of global change through time. Projects in his research group focus on developing data from sequences of volcanic and sedimentary rocks in order to understand the past positions of the continents, the evolution of Earth's magnetic field, and large changes in climate.
