Merve Tekgürler
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2019
Masters Student in Symbolic Systems, admitted Autumn 2023BioMerve Tekgürler is a PhD candidate in History (ABD) and an M.S. student in Symbolic Systems. In AY 2023-24, they hold the inaugural Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowship. Merve has a BA degree in History and Social and Cultural Anthropology from Freie University Berlin and an MA in History from Stanford.
Merve’s dissertation, tentatively titled “Crucible of Empire: Danubian Borderlands and the Making of Ottoman Administrative Mentalities” focuses on the Ottoman-Polish borderlands in the long 18th century (1760s-1820s), examining the changes and continuities north of the Danube River in relation to Russian and Austrian expansions. They study Ottoman news and information networks in this region and their impact on production and mobilisation of imperial knowledge.
As part of their dissertation project, Merve is training a handwritten text recognition model for 18th century Ottoman Turkish administrative hand and developing AI-based natural language processing tools for Ottoman Turkish. Their aim is to compile a large machine-readable corpus of manuscript news communiques and employ computational text analysis methods. In AY 2022-23, they were a Digital Humanities Graduate Fellow at Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA) with their project on topic modeling in Ottoman court histories from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Merve’s research on the borderlands ties to their passion for maps and spatial humanities. They are the co-PI in Cistern: A Database of Geographical Knowledge in the Ottoman World, which they started with Adrien Zakar in Winter 2020. They also contributed to their advisor Ali Yaycıoğlu’s Mapping Ottoman Epirus project, building a placenames dataset from an Ottoman transportation map and developing a 3D model of the late-nineteenth century Ottoman Empire with exaggerated elevation data.
Previously, Merve was a G.J. Pigott Scholar (AY 2022-23) and graduate coordinator of Stanford Humanities Center Eurasian Empires Workshop (AY 2021-22 & 2022-23).

Michael Temprano
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioAs a 1L at Stanford Law School, I am excited to pursue high-stakes complex litigation. Before joining SLS, I worked as a paralegal at a trial law firm, where I drafted complaints, motions, demand letters, mediation/trial briefs, and liability memos. Though I initially joined the firm as part of the Pre-Litigation department, I eventually transitioned to the Litigation team. My experience across both departments equips me with an understanding of case development. Prior to my role as a paralegal, I interned at Bay Area Legal Aid, where I assisted over 1,000 pro se litigants with various civil legal matters. In recognition of my academic excellence and community service, the Cal Alumni Association honored me as a 2x Leadership Award recipient.
Extending my work ethic from the firm to the classroom, I graduated summa cum laude from UC Berkeley with a cumulative 4.00 GPA. Through UC Berkeley's Honors Sociology program, I wrote a socio-legal thesis titled "Litigating on the Public Radar: Class Action Accessibility & Transparency in California's Northern District." This thesis won the Departmental Citation, the highest honor awarded to one graduating senior for best undergraduate research and outstanding academic achievement. In addition to my coursework, I served as a Legal Research Fellow at Berkeley Law’s Civil Justice Research Initiative, where I briefed SCOTUS cases and analyzed settlement distribution in federal class actions. I also led as President of UC Berkeley’s Latine Pre-Law Society. In my free time, I volunteered at Legal Aid at Work, assisting pro se litigants with employment law matters. -
