Bingxiao Liu
Ph.D. Student in Chinese, admitted Autumn 2020
SHI Discussion Leader, Stanford Pre-Collegiate StudiesBioBingxiao Liu is a Ph.D. student in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford University. Her research interests include premodern Chinese literature, cultural and intellectual history; gender and sexuality; emotions, literary and political culture. Her research examines how emotions are invoked or invented to constitute interpersonal ties in 3rd - 6th century China. Working with official histories, commentaries, inscriptions, and literary works, her project explores the reconceptualization of identity and community in emotive terms and the signification of emotion as the legitimizing basis for a new social order in medieval China.

Mengyao Liu
Ph.D. Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2022
Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceBioI am broadly interested in the production of knowledge in ancient worlds, with a particular interest in the Greco-Roman and Chinese traditions. My curiosity is a comparative and genealogical one at root: by comparing different societies, I seek to grasp the historicity of intellectual practices and the ideas thus produced. Currently, my research interest focuses on astronomy and astrology in Ancient Greece and China.
While completing my B.A. in Classics at Sorbonne University, I investigated how the urban metamorphoses of Rome materialized the transformation of the political regime. My master's thesis at EHESS, "Statues pour les corps, livres pour les mots" : La vie (βἰος) et la rhétorique (λόγος) dans les Discours Sacrés, offers insight into the psychosomatic relations conceived by the Greeks. The inquiry breaks into two interdependent questions: the therapeutic usage of rhetorical practices and the unconventional representation of Asclepius in the Sacred Tales of Aristides.
Having one year of training in software engineering from Tsinghua University, I am also passionate about the potentials of digital humanities. -

Isaac Longobardi
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Clinical Research, expected graduation Spring 2030
BioIsaac Longobardi, from Brooklyn, New York, is pursuing an MD at Stanford School of Medicine. He received his bachelor’s degree in social anthropology from Harvard College. Isaac aspires to transform long-term care services and delivery models for individuals with frailty, chronic illness, and mental and behavioral health conditions and their communities. Between 2022 and 2025, Isaac helped to launch and directed the Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition—a representative group of nursing home stakeholders working to advance recommendations from “The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality,” a landmark 2022 report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Prior to that, he piloted multigenerational living while working as a volunteer youth and community engagement program coordinator at Hebrew SeniorLife, a Boston-based elder services nonprofit. Isaac’s speaking and writing on aging and long-term care include award-winning undergraduate research, a Substack, co-authored health policy articles, and conference presentations.

Ethan Lopes
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioI study how secondary magnetic minerals form through fluid–rock interactions and how their magnetic signals can reveal broader geological processes. My research draws upon the interconnected nature of ocean and planetary sciences. By applying a planetary perspective to Earth systems, I aim to both test planetary hypotheses and reevaluate fundamental geologic processes. I investigate these fundamental processes through experimental work that integrates rock magnetism and rock physics—two deeply interconnected disciplines—alongside advanced imaging techniques.
