Arcadia Ewell
Arcadia is interested in understanding the effects of early, chronic stress on cognitive development. Specifically, she’s interested in identifying mechanisms through which stress gets “under the skin” so that we may identify pathways to ensure that all children are prepared to meet their cognitive potential and succeed academically

Vijay Fisch
Vijay (he/him) is a sophomore in the Faculty of Computing and Data Science (CDS) pursuing a BS in Data Science and a minor in economics. He has been attending IOC events since his freshman year at BU and is excited about the opportunity to get more involved. He enjoys exploring interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving around […]
Martin Fiszbein
Martin Fiszbein’s research seeks to understand comparative paths of development in historical perspective, drawing on new empirical approaches and conceptual insights from growth theory, development economics, regional/urban economics, political economy, social psychology, and evolutionary approaches. Adopting a long-run perspective, my papers underscore how “initial conditions” shaping economies early in their history may influence subsequent development […]

Jeffrey Geddes
Research in Jeff’s group is focused on the impacts of reactive trace gases in Earth’s atmosphere. Topics range from understanding urban air quality to studying biosphere-atmosphere exchange in natural environments. The group primarily uses satellite remote sensing observations in combination with a global model of atmospheric chemistry, but also relies on field measurements. Current projects […]
