Dr. Sarah Stamps leads the CODE-GEO program. She is an Associate Professor of Geophysics in the Department of  Geosciences at Virginia Tech. Her research group is the Geodesy and Tectonophysics Laboratory. Scientifically, she is interested in measuring the Earth's surface motions with millimeter precision and using computational modeling to understand the physical processes driving Earth's volcanoes, earthquakes, and continental deformation.

Asenath Kwagalkwe is an instructor of the CODE-GEO program. She is currently pursuing a PhD in geodesy and geodynamics at Virginia Tech as member of VT's Geodesy and Tectonophysics Lab group. Her research focuses on improving our understanding of magma-poor continental rifting processes taking place in Uganda.
