Postdoctoral fellow, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences
Qi Liu is a postdoctoral researcher who explores the lived experiences of resource demand, resource consumption, and environmental change within China. Her PhD research examines the complex intersections between geothermal water, water infrastructures, and cultural norms in tourism, using transdisciplinary approaches rooted in practice theories, mobility studies, materiality research and beyond. She also investigates contentious processes and socio-environmental consequences of everyday practices, such as solid waste and human waste disposal. Before obtaining her PhD in Geography from the University of Manchester, Qi Liu pursued her undergraduate degree at Xiamen University and her Master's degree at Renmin University of China, both in sociology.

Professor of Biostatistics, Texas A&M University
I began researching into the Luria–Delbrück distribution in 1998 at the suggestion of a renowned statistical distribution expert. The Luria–Delbrück distribution is a family of related distributions describing the probabilistic behavior of the numbers of mutants observed in a Luria–Delbrück experiment, which is also called the fluctuation experiment. The Luria–Delbrück distribution plays a key role in allowing microbiologists to extract information on microbial mutation rates from mutant count data generated by fluctuation experiments. I have devised an array of computational methods for the analysis of data generated by fluctuation experiments. I also made a computer package and a Web tool to help biologists analyze data from fluctuation experiments. My research results have appeared in mathematics, statistics and biology journals. My second research interest is in statistical education for public health students.

Hydrologist, Center For Western Weather and Water Extremes, University of California, San Diego
Dr. Qian Cao joined CW3E as a postdoctoral research scholar in 2021. Her prior research work includes examination of the role of hydrological initial conditions in the linkage between flooding and atmospheric rivers (ARs) in coastal Western U.S. watersheds in a changing climate, evaluation of the AR-related flood forecast skill driven by recently developed data sets such as SubX and West-WRF, as well as investigation of the benefits from remote sensing products in hydrologic applications. Her expertise is hydrological modeling and analysis. She has experience with models like DHSVM, VIC and Noah-MP. Her research at CW3E involves using hydrologic models and methods to investigate variability in regional terrestrial water storage, in the form of ground water and surface water including snowpack, as revealed by a growing archive of GPS near-surface crustal displacements that are collected throughout California and across the U.S. She will also be working on the hydrological modeling using WRF-Hydro over the Western U.S. to support the FIRO project.

Qian Li is a postdoctoral associate. Her research has been focused on the Southern Ocean mesoscale eddy-mean flow interaction, Antarctic Circumpolar Current dynamics and mixed layer dynamics. Her research combines a range of observational data from satellites and profiling floats in the context of ocean reanalyses, ocean state estimations and high-resolution numerical models. Her present research aims to investigate the future Southern Ocean climate change, particularly under the impact of Antarctic glacier melt.
Qian received her PhD at the Pennsylvania State University in 2018. Before arriving at MIT, Qian was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.

PhD Candidate in Prebiotic Chemistry, UNSW Sydney
My PhD research investigates chemical reactions that could have occurred on the early Earth and how they could have given rise to life-like behaviours. My work aims to demonstrate how simple patterns and structures resembling biology can form without complex cellular machinery.
Outside of research, I explore science engagement through various media, including photography, videography, and writing.
