Patrick is a retired program manager at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He had for two decades participated in numerous of the lab’s education and public outreach activities. He is keenly interested in the issues of science, technology, and social science as they relate to climate change and energy. He had experience in teaching summer courses on climate change and energy issues to high-school students from many countries, and conducting workshops of various lengths for high-school students to learn up-to-date subject matter in similar topics. He believes in the representation of complex ideas by serious games as viable and efficacious teaching tools for students to learn contemporary concepts and methods in climate-change mitigation.

Long is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. His research areas span across Earth systems modeling, geoengineering as it relates to climate-change mitigation, the global carbon cycle, and ocean acidification. He also looks into the effects of human activities on the global climate and environment, and identifies the ways such impacts can be mitigated.

Steve is an associate professor in the Department of Earth System Science of the University of California, Irvine. His research interests aim at understanding the complex interactions of human and natural systems in order to assess the causes and magnitude of damages and disruptions now and in the future, and to identify possible solutions. He is an accomplished guitarist and a beer connoisseur, as evidenced by his own brewing skills as well as being a co-author in what may well be the world’s first peer-reviewed paper on climate impacts of beer supply in the journal Nature Plants, October 15, 2018, “Decreases in global beer supply due to extreme drought and heat”.

Ambrose brings to ClimatEG more than ten years of nonprofit experience in project planning, development, management, and administration. Currently, he is also a member of the scholarship committee of the Ricci Institute, University of San Francisco, which is a global resource for the study of Chinese-Western cultural history. He participates in the Institute's fundraising and designing of its programs. Previously, he worked on a bioremediation research project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for 5 years and had mentored undergraduate students.

Tammy is a laser-plasma experimental physicist and associate program leader at the National Ignition Facility’s High Energy Density Laboratory of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California. Her work on fusion energy has earned her recognitions by the Obama White House in 2016 with the Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering, and more recently by the American Physical Society and the U.S. Department of Energy with early career research awards. She is one of LLNL’s most effective staffers in K-12 STEM education and public outreach.

Robert Matteri, MD is the founder of Oregon Reproductive Medicine, a pioneering program that constructed the first major embryology clean room in America. He has completed training in 4 specialty fields, including both internal medicine and obstetrics-gynecology---which he says gave him a unique perspective in practice, having trained both as a physician, and then as a surgeon. Dr. Matteri’s other interests include education and environmental protection. He is the cofounder of the German International School in Portland, and he served as the school advisory chair for 5 years at Portland’s Lincoln High School. He has served on the board of the Friends of the Columbia Gorge, and that of its Columbia River Gorge Land Trust. Most recently, stepping down from his medical practice, he has completed further studies in viticulture and enology, and is the founder of Matteri Vineyards, dedicated to the production of outstanding pinot noir, in Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley.

Bruce is the program director of the Climate Readiness Institute (CRI) at the University of California, Berkeley, and the director of the Bay Area Climate Adaptation Network (BayCAN). CRI brings together experts from UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with climate practitioners from Bay Area government agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector to address regional climate-change impacts on human health, infrastructure, and critical ecosystems. BayCAN is a network of government staff in the nine-county Bay Area working on climate adaptation and resilience. Bruce had previously served in many other capacities in local and regional organizations to facilitate collaborations in climate adaptation and resilience.

Dan is a public education specialist at the Space Science Laboratory (SSL) of the University of California, Berkeley. He manages multiple education and outreach efforts for SSL’s Multiverse education team. In this capacity, he currently serves as Co-Chair for UC Berkeley’s Coalition for Education and Outreach, a community of practice for UC Berkeley and other San Francisco Bay Area STEM education and outreach practitioners and researchers. Prior to his arrival at SSL, he was a senior project manager at the Exploratorium for the National Science Foundation’s Nanoscale Informal STEM Educational Network. His past career focused more on environmental education and wildlife conservation.

Jacqueline is an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Data Science. Throughout her undergraduate career she has been involved in teaching and education, primarily for CS 61A: The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which is currently listed among the five best computer science classes the U.S. according to Bloomberg. In this capacity, she has served for 4 semesters and is currently serving as a UGSI for the course. She is interested in the intersection between Computer Science, Data Science, and Cognitive Science.
