GRF Open House: Stephanie Roe and Chris Luna

The Environmental Resilience Institute hosts monthly Open House sessions for graduate students interested in discussing their research with other students from around Grounds working on environmental resilience related topics. Our Open House events are part of the student-led, ERI supported, Graduate Research Forum (GRF).

The GRF is open to all grad students and invests in activities that advance novel frameworks, theories, models, and applications that are transformative and have societal impacts. We hope you can attend this and other GRF events!

On Sept. 10th from 12-1pm, Stephanie Roe and Chris Luna will host the GRF Open House. Attendees will get to discuss their research and look for connections to their own work. Lunch will be provided (registration requested).

Christopher Luna-Mega is a composer, performer, and educator. Interested in environmental sound, performance strategies, and interdisciplinary collaboration, his work translates sounds and data from natural and urban environments into notated music for performers and electronics in various forms of media. His concert music has been performed in three different continents by orchestras like the Scottish BBC Symphony and ensembles like the Arditti Quartet.

Stephanie Roe is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Environmental Sciences interested shifting the current forest-food-fuel land use paradigm to a more sustainable and resilient system. Through field experimentation and modeling, she investigates how the terrestrial ecosystem’s role in regulating the Earth’s carbon and water cycle will affect and respond to climate change.
