Tristan Ballard (Graduate Student)
Tristan’s research focuses on understanding how historical and future meteorological and climate variability impact riverine ecosystems. In particular, he is interested in developing robust statistical models for estimating climate impacts 1) on large-scale nitrogen runoff, 2) on historical river temperature regimes, and 3) on the increasing likelihood of extreme river temperatures into the future.
Tristan is currently a 4th year PhD student in the Department of Earth System Science at Stanford University.
-
Kelsey Foster (Graduate Student)
Kelsey is a first year PhD student in the Department of Earth System Science at Stanford. She is broadly interested in the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions on different components of the Earth system. More specifically, she is interested in studying biospheric carbon flux variability and anthropogenic methane emissions. Her prior research focused on quantifying anthropogenic methane emissions in California, with a focus on emissions from oil refineries.
-
Julian Merder (Postdoctoral Fellow)
With the help of mathematical models and statistics I try to tackle ecological questions ranging from molecular up to global scales. During my PhD, I developed statistical techniques and software to improve the performance of ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry and derived new ways to link the composition of dissolved organic matter to biotic and abiotic factors. I am generally interested in all branches of ecology to better understand and quantify the dangers we will face under anthropogenic climate change. In the Michalak Lab, I will develop stochastic population models in conformance with global datasets to better understand the causes and frequencies of harmful algal blooms under changing climate.

Nina Randazzo (Graduate Student)
Nina is a Stanford PhD candidate who researches carbon dioxide exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere. She is particularly interested in how climatological and meteorological systems influence biospheric carbon balance.

Wu Sun is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Michalak Lab. His research aims to understand patterns and variability in terrestrial photosynthesis through the synergy between observations and process-based models. He is currently using geostatistical approaches to constrain the patterns of photosynthesis in North America.
Before joining Michalak Lab, Wu obtained his B.Sc. in Geology from Nanjing University and Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from UCLA. His research focused on using carbonyl sulfide (COS) to infer ecosystem photosynthesis. His Ph.D. work used chamber observations and reactive transport modeling to understand COS exchange between soils and the atmosphere. His latest work explored applications of COS as a leaf-scale tracer for stomatal conductance. He is transitioning from a frequentist to a Bayesian.
