Anthony Flores
Ph.D. Student in Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioI am a Physics PhD Candidate performing research in X-ray Astrophysics within KIPAC and the XOC group. My primary interests surround the evolutionary history of galaxy clusters traced by X-ray observations of the Intracluster Medium. I measure the dynamical, thermodynamical, and chemical properties of clusters as a function of spatial scale and redshift to test models of self-similar evolution and chemical enrichment in the presence of feedback from sources such as AGN.

James Flynn
Ph.D. Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2023
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsJamie Flynn is a PhD student in Ancient History. He focuses on the cultural, religious, and economic history of the eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, ancient India and its connection with Mediterranean societies, and the historical impact of climate change on the ancient world. As an undergrad, he researched the economic history of warfare in the Greek and Roman worlds. His undergraduate thesis compared contemporary trends among Hellenistic philosophers and Indian ascetics of withdrawing from society. During his M.A. degree, he worked on the Yale Nile Initiative, an interdisciplinary group of historians and scientists studying climate change in antiquity, where he covered South Asia. He also worked on digitally documenting Greek epigraphy from Dura Europos and has an ongoing interest in the digital humanities. He studies the Indian languages Sanskrit and Pali in addition to Latin and Greek.
