Hina Azam

Middle Eastern Studies

Hina Azam's research focuses on women, gender, and sexuality in Islam, ethics, and pedagogy.

Thorsten Becker

Earth and Planetary Sciences

Thorsten Becker's research interests are in geodynamics and seismology, focusing on how planets' interior and surface systems have co-evolved. His team integrates field, laboratory, analog, and numerical approaches into geodynamical models, focusing on the physics of plate tectonics, from grain-scale deformation to earthquakes and global mantle flow.

Benjamin Brower

History

Benjamin Brower specializes in modern France and its colonies with a focus on nineteenth-century Algeria. Brower's research examines the colonial situation, and its impact on the societies of the colonized and colonizers. His broader research interests include violence; French colonialism, Islam, and secularism; colonization and language, and colonial-era pilgrimage to Mecca.

Mounira Charrad

Sociology, Middle Eastern Studies

Mounira M. Charrad's research has centered on state formation, colonialism, law, citizenship, kinship and women's rights. More specifically, Charrad has considered strategies of state building in kin-based societies and how struggles over state power shaped the expansion or curtailment of women's rights. Her work focuses on social movements, feminism, women's associations, secularism, and civil society with a focus on Tunisia.

Charles De Piazza

Architecture

Charles Di Piazza is an architect and has been responsible for all phases of design and has consistently endeavored to integrate design with nature. Another of Di Piazza's interests is sustainability, and toward this goal, he strives to contribute toward projects in terms of reduced footprints, recycled materials and minimal energy solutions.

Emily Drumsta

Middle Eastern Studies, French and Italian

Emily Drumsta's interests include Arabic, Francophone literatures, comparative literature, and translation. She specializes in modern Arabic and Francophone literatures, exploring the history of detection and investigation in 20th-century Arabic fiction.

Aleksandra Jaeschke

Architecture

Aleksandra Jaeschke's interests range from ecological science and thought, through definitions and models for sustainability, to cross-scalar integrative design strategies. Her winning Harvard GSD’s 2019 Wheelwright Prize proposal and ongoing research, UNDER WRAPS: Architecture and Culture of Greenhouses, explores the ecological, cultural and spiritual implications of the use of greenhouses in agriculture, horticulture, conservation, and leisure.

Brian Korgel

Chemical Engineering, Energy Institute

Brian Korgel's research centers on the development of new methods for synthesizing nanostructured materials, fabricating devices based upon these materials, and studying their properties. The lab group focuses on investigating size-tunable material properties, and the rational self-assembly and fabrication of nanostructures with atomic detail. This research finds applications in microelectronics and photonics, spintronics, coatings, sensors and

Vijay Mahajan

Marketing

Vijay Mahajan's areas of expertise include marketing strategy, product diffusion, research methodology and the Global South.

Rowan Martindale

Earth and Planetary Sciences

Rowan Martindale is interested in marine paleoecology and the geobiology of carbon cycle perturbation events (e.g. mass extinctions, ocean anoxic events, and ocean acidification events in deep time). Martindale’s research also includes carbonate sedimentology and the paleontology/paleobiology of reef builders (e.g corals and sponges).

Heath Prince

Public Affairs

Heath Prince is a research scientist and has written, published, and presented extensively on domestic and international employment, training programs and policies, post-secondary education, and poverty reduction.

Denne Reed

Anthropology

Denne Reed focuses on the influences of ecology and environment on human adaptation and behavior. He has conducted field research in various parts of Africa, including paleoanthropological research focusing on early human evolution. Reed works on integrating paleoanthropological data to address questions about human evolution and environmental change and to improve access to the human fossil record.

Daniel Stockli

Earth and Planetary Sciences

Daniel Stockli's research focuses on the application of thermochronology and geochronology to tectonic and geological problems to better understand the temporal and thermal aspects of tectonic, petrologic, stratigraphic, and geomorphologic processes. In addition, he investigates geo- and thermochronometry technique development, calibration, and bench marking, with special emphasis on development of new thermochronmeters and novel applications.
