Fernando Martinez Periset
Ph.D. Student in Comparative Literature, admitted Autumn 2022
BioHello, this is Fernando. Thanks for stopping by! Before joining Stanford's department of Comparative Literature as a doctoral student in 2022, I trained as a comparatist at Durham, the Sorbonne, Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin. My main supervisor here at Stanford is Roland Greene.
In terms of research interests, the main issue I keep coming back to (which partly derives from my experiences studying in different countries) is how and why intercultural encounters function as driving forces of creative production in its different forms. With a focus on big-picture thinking and global perspectives in the study of cultural history, I see such creative practices at work in the overlaps among literature, art history and philosophy, particularly continental philosophy. More precisely, I believe I am drawn to two broad questions: how classical theories of ethics and subjectivity (like Stoicism and Epicureanism) produced changes in societal values within Early Modern culture, and how the Renaissance, in turn, shaped attitudes to selfhood in later movements, especially Romanticism. From the standpoint of transhistorical reception studies, I would like to explore the inner lives of people from the past as a way of finding questions that speak to our own present. That is why specific topics of interest include the intersections of literary forms with the history of emotions, the history of ethics, cognitive anthropology, psychology, migrations, intellectual history and religion. I like poetry (both studying it and writing it), the epic tradition as well as theatre. Beyond French, Latin, Spanish and English, I am expanding into Portuguese and Arabic.
I am currently developing a research project on Milton and the classical tradition.
Some of my favourite authors include figures from Classical Antiquity and Early Modernity, such as Shakespeare, Milton, Montaigne, Racine, Seneca, Lucretius, Virgil, Homer, Quevedo, but also more recent figures whose work intervenes in and develops preexisting structures of ethics and emotions. I look forward to discovering new, exciting figures.
I would be delighted to hear from students and researchers (from Stanford and beyond!) with whom I could share intellectual interests, so please feel free to drop me a line. -

Daphne O. Martschenko
Assistant Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics)
BioDr. Daphne Oluwaseun Martschenko is an Assistant Professor at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. Her scholarship identifies novel ways to examine and enhance the ethical and socially responsible conduct, translation, and interpretation of human genetic research.
Dr. Martschenko is passionate about fostering public and community engagement with controversial scientific research. She has appeared in the New York Times and on numerous podcasts including Freakonomics Radio. Dr. Martschenko’s work is published in publicly accessible media outlets such as Scientific American and The Conversation. In 2023, she was named one of 10 Scientists to Watch by ScienceNews.
Dr. Martschenko is author of the book What We Inherit: How New Technologies and Old Myths Are Shaping Our Genomic Future, which she wrote with friend and colleague Sam Trejo, a sociologist at Princeton University. Over the past decade, the field of human genetics has rapidly produced a wide range of never-before-seen genomic tools; together, they debate and discuss a range of social, ethical, and policy issues raised by this so-called DNA revolution. Though there’s plenty the two disagree about, they share a firm belief that—in order to successfully navigate the transition to a society where genetic prediction is increasingly accurate and available—it is vital that society take seriously the impact both of DNA and of pernicious genetic myths. -

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.

Jonathan Massey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioI completed my PhD at the University of Southampton, where my research focused on the role of surface texture in the hydrodynamics of aquatic locomotion. This project advanced our understanding of the multiscale interactions involved, addressing whether fish scales might actually enhance swimming efficiency.
I have joined Prof. McKeon's group as part of the SAPPHiRE project (Shear stress And Propagating Pressure in High Reynolds Experiments). This multi-facility (Stanford, Princeton, and Melbourne) experimental campaign focuses on measurements of wall-pressure and shear-stress fluctuations in high Reynolds number boundary layers, advancing our understanding of noise and drag in high-Re settings. My involvement is in the modelling and theory for wall-pressure fluctuations and their origins in the velocity field. Previous models are based on extrapolations from low-Re physics, so I will incorporate new techniques to improve upon these in parallel with the experimental campaign. -
