Erin Mordecai is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Stanford University and a Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Honors Interdisciplinary Studies in Mathematical Biology from the University of Georgia in 2007 and completed her PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2012. Her research centers on the ecology of infectious diseases, particularly focusing on how climate change and species interactions influence disease dynamics in both human and natural ecosystems. She utilizes a combination of mathematical modeling and empirical studies to explore these critical ecological issues. After completing a two-year NSF postdoctoral research fellowship that addressed intersections between biology and physical sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, she joined Stanford in January 2015.
The Computer Science department emphasizes research potential. GRE General is currently optional but recommended for some tracks.
