Tom Nachtigal
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2022
Master of Arts Student in Political Science, admitted Spring 2024BioTom Nachtigal is a PhD student in the international and comparative education program. She's interested in researching how international organizations influence national civic education policies via promotion of social and emotional learning. Particularly, she's looking at how values of democracy, rule of law, human rights, and national identity are imbued in conflict-affected areas, in light of international education policies informed by SEL. Trained as an international lawyer, she served as a legal advisor in the Israeli government, practicing international law and human rights, an experience that informed her interests in civic education from the lens of international politics.

Priya Nair
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI received my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Industrial Design from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020. During my time at Georgia Tech, I worked as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Ajit Yoganathan's Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics Lab. My project was focused on studying the contribution of foreign materials to thrombosis in transcatheter aortic valves using an in vitro flow loop. Beyond my research interests, I was also actively involved in the Society of Women Engineers, promoting outreach activities and creating mentorship opportunities for women in STEM.

Suresh Nambi
Masters Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI am a first-year master’s student pursuing MS EE (Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems track) at Stanford University.
My research interests lie primarily in the area of Computer Systems Architecture. My research involves the development and implementation of efficient and effective hardware architectures for a given application. I am constantly striving to improve my understanding of computing systems, to develop better intuition of the tradeoffs involved, and make better well-informed hardware architecture decisions.
Before starting my MS, I worked at Nvidia as an ASIC Design Engineer in the GPU Hardware Security team, where I contributed to the development of computer chips used in datacenters. Prior to that I worked at Ceremorphic a stealth startup on their first energy-efficient AI supercomputing test chip and gained insight into their heterogenous computing model.
I completed my undergraduate studies at BITS Pilani, India. During this period, I was associated with Prof. Akash Kumar at the Chair for Processor Design, TU Dresden for my year-long undergraduate thesis. I also had the opportunity to work under Prof. Gerd Grau during my MITACS Globalink Summer Internship. -

Shikha Nehra
Ph.D. Student in Anthropology, admitted Autumn 2019
BioShikha Nehra is a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at Stanford University. She is conducting dissertation research on the emerging idioms and forms of political belonging in India's north-eastern state of Assam. Her ethnographic and archival research in Assam explores questions of political membership through its sociocultural terrain, tracing the contribution of different ethnic and literary associations in claiming recognition as indigenous communities through complex registers of language, identity and belonging. Her broader fields of interest include nationalism, populism, state and sovereignty, bureaucracy, citizenship, subjectivity, and identity-formation.

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.
