Margaret Duffy (she|her): 2024-25 Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow

Margaret L. Duffy is a 2024-2025 Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences working with Professor William Boos. Margaret’s primary area of research is the response of the atmosphere to climate warming, with additional research about
diversity in the geosciences. Margaret’s PhD thesis was titled “An Energetic Perspective on the Tropical Atmosphere and its Response to Climate Warming.” She has also studied the influence of cloud feedbacks on climate warming, with an emphasis on uncertainty in climate models.
Her work about diversity in the geosciences includes using interviews to identify why geoscientists from underrepresented groups declined tenure-track faculty job offers. As a Chancellor’s postdoctoral fellow, she is studying changes in humid heat events with climate warming.

Margaret received a PhD in Climate Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a BS in Mathematics from Haverford College.

Christian Henry (he|him): 2022-23 Chancellor's Fellow

Christian Henry is a 2022-23 Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Integrative Biology working with Professor Bruce Baldwin.  Dr. Henry's research delves into leaf level response to an environment with a focus on stomatal response to drought and the effects of leaf hair on water use. His dissertation is entitled, "The Significance of the Leaf Surface During Drought: Insight into Function of Stomata and Leaf Hair."  As a postdoctoral fellow, he is currently exploring the evolutionary spatial relationships of leaf traits to climate.

Christian holds a Ph.D. in  Plant Ecophysiology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a B.S., in Biology from Hampton University.
