Aaron Mascarenhas
Ph.D. Student in Anthropology, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI currently practice as a doctor and a medical anthropologist. I completed my MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) at Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, India. My experience as a medical practitioner strengthened my conviction that there was much that contemporary medical pedagogy did not teach its students about health, care, and healing. I spent the next few years as a student of the humanities. I obtained a Master's in Liberal Studies from Ashoka University, Sonipat, India, where I studied the relationship between the linguistic and ethical dimensions of medical eponyms named after perpetrators of the Holocaust. At Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, I completed an MA in Philosophy. My final project at Simon Fraser developed a framework to recognise oppression experienced by patients as they attempted to partake in knowledge production during their encounter with biomedical systems.

Peter Mastnak
Ph.D. Student in Oceans, admitted Autumn 2024
BioPeter is a PhD student in the Oceans department, leveraging his interdisciplinary expertise to develop advanced computational models that predict the movement patterns of large marine predators in response to environmental change. With a Master's degree in Computer Science from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Peter's research bridges computational science with oceanography, applying advanced mathematical modeling techniques to ecological data while incorporating international policy and economic considerations—a truly interdisciplinary approach to addressing complex marine conservation challenges.
His work focuses on synthesizing diverse environmental variables and large-scale climate phenomena to forecast shifts in marine species distribution, ultimately informing evidence-based policy for ocean protection and sustainable fisheries management. Peter is pioneering innovative technological solutions—from advanced sensor networks to sophisticated predictive software—designed to address global oceanic ecosystem threats. Through this synthesis of computational rigor and conservation science, he strives to transform how we understand, monitor, and protect our ocean ecosystems for future generations. -

Shaili Mathur
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Autumn 2021
BioI'm a PhD student in the Eco/Evo track in the Biology department at Stanford. I was at UCLA as an undergraduate, where I majored in Computational and Systems Biology and minored in Mathematics, and also completed my MS in Bioinformatics with Prof. Van Savage through the Departmental Scholar Program. I am interested in using theory and experimental techniques to understand evolutionary dynamics, information processing in biological systems, and complexity in biological systems.
