VISTAS Zoom Webinar: “A New Stanford School Focused on Climate and Sustainability” with Kathryn Moler
Friday, January 28 at 11am
 
Stanford is designing a school focused on climate and sustainability that will draw on the considerable expertise that exists across academic units, align-ing those efforts around research, education and impact, which will help the university address the urgent challenges facing the planet. Kathryn will lead an inclusive process designing the school’s structure.

Kathryn A."Kam" Moler is the Vice Provost and Dean of Research, the Marvin Chodorow Professor, and Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics at Stanford University. She conducts research in magnetic imaging, develops tools that measure nanoscale magnetic fields, and studies quantum materials and devices. Among other honors, she received a national Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, held a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering, received the William L. McMillan Award “for her fundamental studies of the superconducting pairing state, Josephson vortices, and the role of interlayer coupling in high-temperature superconductors,” she is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. To honor her sustained commitment to teaching, the American Association of Physics Teachers awarded her the Richtmyer Award for Outstanding Leadership in Physics Education, and Stanford appointed her as the Sapp Family Fellow in Undergraduate Education. She was previously the Senior Associate Dean of Natural Sciences in the School of Humanities and Sciences and the Director of the Stanford Nano Shared Facilities. She is a member of the NanoFront (TU-Delft/Leiden) Scientific Advisory Board, the Physics Frontier Center—Joint Quantum Institute Advisory Board, Co-Chair of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee (NQIAC), and a member of NASEM (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) National Science, Technology, and Security Roundtable. She is also the daughter of Villager Nancy Martin.
