Andrew Patrick Nelson
Ph.D. Student in Japanese, admitted Autumn 2018
Ph.D. Minor, History
Ph.D. Minor, LinguisticsBioI am a PhD Candidate in the Japanese Linguistics track of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. My research is motivated by two primary areas of inquiry: first, to what extent can methods in linguistic science be applied to historical documents to recover a speaker/writer intent and reader/listener interpretation? Second, in what ways are language changes perceived, categorized, and valorized; in what ways do those perceptions, categories, and values shape language ideology; and in what ways does language ideology in turn change language use? My work brings together methods in psycholinguistics, semantics, and pragmatics in analyzing texts on language written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Japanese texts as a primary case study, but also leveraging sources in English, French, and German for a transnational perspective.

Henry Hoang Nguyen
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering / Quality Improvement, expected graduation Spring 2026
BioHenry Nguyen was born and raised in Abbeville, Louisiana, and is a proud graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana. Before becoming a Stanford medical student in 2022, Henry co-founded organizations dedicated to increasing inclusivity in the fields of competitive athletics, the performing arts, and media production. Stanford’s distinct environment has allowed him to continue nurturing these organizations during medical school, and he has also picked up new projects contributing to cutting-edge innovation in the fields of biotechnology, medical education, and video game design.
Henry has taken classes at Stanford’s law school, business school, and engineering school to augment his MD education. He then applied these skills to assist multiple companies in successfully acquiring venture capital funding, and he continues to serve as a trusted advisor to major Artificial Intelligence firms, such as Synaptiq Learning, Anthropic, and Snorkel AI. Henry is the youngest person to ever be elected to the Stanford Medicine Alumni Board of Governors and has been awarded multiple Stanford-based grants to support his scholarly activity in neuroimaging. Lastly, he has actively supported the Stanford Medicine Radiology Department by reviving the Radiology Interest Group, leading pre-clinical radiology electives, and designing a completely new radiology clerkship.
Henry hopes to follow the example of his mentors by using the unique merits of radiology to combine his passions for clinical care, academic scholarship, and industrial innovation. Most importantly, he plans to dedicate his career to increasing access to state-of-the-art healthcare, so that the advancements of his classmates and colleagues can one day be available to the patients in his hometown. -
