Noor Amr
Ph.D. Student in Anthropology, admitted Autumn 2019
BioNoor Amr is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at Stanford University. She is currently writing her dissertation on the “church asylum” (Kirchenasyl) movement in Germany, paying attention to the relationship between sanctuary, religious difference, borders/migration, sovereignty, and political belonging. Her ethnographic research among churches and monasteries across Germany explores how Kirchenasyl—sanctuary from the state—becomes a means through which rejected asylum-seekers gain legibility as subjects worthy of legal recognition. Her broader theoretical interests include theories in political theology, religion/secularism, sanctuary and hospitality, histories of confinement, and the coloniality of asylum.
Prior to her doctoral work, Noor received a B.A. in Politics from Willamette University and an M.T.S. in Philosophy of Religion from Harvard Divinity School, where she was a Dean’s Fellow. -

Leni Aniva
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interest is Machine-Assisted Theorem Proving, which refers to using machine-learning agents to find proofs of mathematical theorems and conduct reasoning. We are pursuing a hybrid algorithm between neural networks and SMT solvers to solve some of the long standing problems facing machine learning models today such as opaqueness, hallucinations, and information leakage. I also do research on SMT solvers and automatic verifications of programs.

Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced bioremediation and resource recovery.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot.
