Tim Flint
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
BioI am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University working with Professor Parviz Moin . My PhD research is on the receptivity of the flow field around high-speed bodies. I hope to understand how free-stream disturbances excite instabilities that may grow and become relevant to boundary layer transition in high-speed flight.

James Flynn
Ph.D. Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2023
Other Tech - Graduate, ClassicsCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsJames Flynn is a PhD student in Ancient History. He focuses on the political, economic, and religious history of ancient Greece, and on connections with other contemporary societies, particularly ancient India. He is interested in the role of religion in legitimizing political institutions from a comparative perspective, and in the subordination of religion to political authority in the Greek poleis. For his undergraduate thesis at Brown, he compared trends among Hellenistic philosophers and Indian ascetics of withdrawal from society. For his Master’s capstone project at Yale, he wrote about the historical impact of climate change on 1st century BCE South Asia. He also pursued a second MA in religious studies, with a focus on Indian religions, and he studies the languages Sanskrit and Pali in addition to Latin and Greek. He is interested in using epigraphy and papyrology for historical sources. He is also interested in applying social scientific methods to large, cross-cultural datasets, looking for long-term trends in ancient history.

TJ Francisco
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI primarily work with reptiles and amphibians in forests and agroecological landscapes to investigate the consequences of land-use decisions on biodiversity, species interactions, and invasions. In Costa Rica, I research the effects of strategically diversifying oil palm farms on herpetofauna diversity and habitat quality. I am interested in the interconnections between political ecology, food sovereignty, and wildlife conservation.
