Current Group Members

At any given time, our group includes some combination of faculty, postdocs, Ph.D. students, master's students, and undergraduate students working on problems at the forefront of terrestrial and planetary radio glaciology. This includes researchers and students for whom our group is their primary academic home, visitors from other institutions, and Stanford graduate students that are doing a rotation or second project with our group.
