Julia Hirsch
Ph.D. Student in Religious Studies, admitted Autumn 2021
BioJulia Hirsch is a Ph.D. student in the Religious Studies Department at Stanford University, where she focuses on Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. She holds a B.A. from Boston College in Philosophy with minors in Psychoanalytics and Women’s & Gender Studies (2015). She received her M.A. in the History of Art and Archaeology: Religious Arts of Asia from SOAS University of London (2020).
Julia’s current research explores Buddhist material religion and visual culture, power objects, and ritual from an art-historical perspective. Of particular interest are relic cults, funerary rites, and the importance—and soteriological potential—of sensory encounter in South Asian and Himalayan traditions.
Prior to joining Stanford, Julia worked for several years at Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, where she continues to serve as a contributing editor covering Buddhist art, film, and publishing. -

Andrew James Howard
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioAndrew J. Howard received his B.S. in Optics from the University of Rochester in 2019. During his time at Rochester, he served as a Research Assistant in the ultrafast group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He was awarded the Charles L. Newton Prize for his work. In late 2019, Howard enrolled in the Applied Physics Ph.D. program at Stanford University and was named the Albion Walter Hewlett Fellow. Here he studies experimental strong-field physics and ultrafast laser-driven molecular dynamics. He currently specializes in 3D fragment-momentum imaging, in which the three-dimensional momentum of molecular fragments produced during the interaction between a laser and a molecule yields valuable information about femtosecond molecular processes and light-matter interactions.
