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. -
Ivan Martinovic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioIvan Martinović is a postdoctoral researcher and Fulbright Scholar in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he works under the supervision of Prof. Ehsan Adeli. His research focuses on biomedical engineering, with particular emphasis on the application of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. He completed his PhD research on the topic of "Application of Artificial Intelligence for Automatic Analysis of Fluoroscopic X-ray Images" under the supervision of Prof. Ervin Sejdić at the University of Toronto. During his PhD studies, he collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh and was selected by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology as one of 50 PhD candidates from across Europe to conduct research at Aarhus University in Denmark.
He is the author of 18 scientific publications, and serves as a collaborator with the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts on the development of the Montenegrin Lexicon of Healthcare. He is additionally engaged as a reviewer for several leading international scientific journals and conferences, and has participated in more than 35 international and national scientific, educational, and innovation projects. He is a member of the ITU Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health.
In addition to his research activities, he is actively engaged in science promotion and STEM education. He serves as CEO of epiSTEMe Hub and as Head of the Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the PRONA Foundation. He is also a member of the Montenegro Makers Foundation team, which launched Montenegro’s first robotics league for elementary school students. He developed the first smart city concept for his hometown of Cetinje and collaborates with the Government of Montenegro on developing the country’s first artificial intelligence training program for civil servants.
