Apple Verdiell

Ciro Santilli believes it likely that this is Apolline Verdiell's current usage pseudonym as shown on her LinkedIn profile: www.linkedin.com/in/appleverdiell/ and department pages: chen.uchicago.edu/apple-verdiell/.

Presumably the choice of "Apple" is because Appolline was too long for the Americans, and "Apple" sounds a bit like "Appolline". Maybe she's also a Steve Jobs fan who knows.

There is no direct evidence that this is actually her, but given the name similarity and that she has links to Atherton, California, it feels very likely.
