Ayla Pamukcu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Stanford University. She joined the faculty in Fall 2019 after completing her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering, with a focus on Earth and Environmental Sciences, at Vanderbilt University in 2014. Her research focuses on volcanic eruptions, particularly the evolution and behavior of magmas leading to such events. Pamukcu studied geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago, where she also engaged in research on supereruptions and geoarchaeology as part of her Fulbright Scholarship. Her postdoctoral training included positions at Brown University and Princeton University, where she advanced her investigations into magmatic systems and their impact on geologic events. Ayla employs a multi-faceted approach to research, integrating geological field relations with advanced analytical techniques to explore magmas' storage and evolution, emphasizing supereruptions and the interplay between volcanic activity and human interactions with the geologic environment.
