Kueppers Lab Group

We have two new projects starting in ~March 2024 that are seeking postdocs. The first is a NASA-funded collaboration with Pablo Saide and Elsa Ordway to hone our predictions of smoke emissions and transport from wildfires in California, considering variation in fuel types and moisture status. We will be evaluating and further developing wildfire behavior…

Váleri Vásquez, who was co-advised by John Marshall in public health, graduated with her PhD in 2023 and is now a postdoc at Stanford University where she continues to use computational approaches to study drivers of mosquito-borne infectious diseases like dengue and malaria. She published one of her dissertation papers in Nature Climate Change, examining…

Over the last couple of years, Nicole Lau who is now a masters student at ERG, has been working with ATWE authors to make data from our papers publicly accessible in one place – our portal on DOE’s ESS-DIVE repository. Data from nearly all of our published papers is now available, along with lots of…

Adam Hanbury-Brown graduated with his PhD in May 2022 – the same day his son was born! He is now a postdoctoral scholar at UC Davis working with Andrew Latimer and Jennifer Holm (LBL) on post-fire forest regeneration in California. He had two great papers published from his PhD – both in the same issue…

Belated but still enthusiastic congratulations to Váleri Vásquez for winning a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship! This two-year fellowship supports Váleri’s research on study genetic-based interventions, including CRISPR-Cas9 systems, to control mosquito-borne illness, and to optimize both the effectiveness and cost of their application as public health tools.
