Liyin He is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Carnegie Science. Her research aims to study global warming influences on crop yields and the related solutions to achieve sustainable food systems. Her research involves multi-source data analysis, including flux tower measurements, remote sensing, climate models and predictive analytics. Liyin holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from California Institute of Technology.

Stefano Mingolla is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Carnegie Science. His research investigates pathways to achieve net-zero emissions in agriculture by quantifying the techno-economic potential and feasibility of small-scale distributed ammonia production. His research methodology includes high-resolution spatial analysis, time-series analysis, optimization techniques, and machine learning. Stefano holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy and Management from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Myla Kahn is a masters student in Environmental Engineering at Stanford University focusing on the human right to water and sanitation. She is now a visiting student at Carnegie Science researching global fresh water demand and availability to better inform sustainable water systems. She holds a BS in Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and works as an engineer for a Bay Area firm, Water Resources Engineering Inc.

Yannik Schüler is a masters student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University and a Visiting Student at Carnegie Science. His research aims to analyze cost-optimal pathways to achieve net-zero ammonia production in the United States. He holds a bachelor in Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. 

Jara Späte is pursuing her master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich and visits Carnegie for her master thesis. In her thesis, she models the interplay between renewable energies and irrigation demands and optimizes cost, carbon emissions and water scarcity. Prior to her current endeavours, Jara earned her Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich.

Ludwig Luz is a master's student in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zürich. At Carnegie, he is modelling and optimising net-zero ammonia and fertilizer supply chains as part of his master thesis. Previously, he has finished his Bachelor degree at ETH Zürich and completed a semester at TU Delft in the Netherlands and research on sanitation in Kenya.
