Ariel Stilerman
Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures
BioI study premodern Japan through its manuscripts, objects, and languages.
I advocate for a “maker mindset” in the humanities. My research is just as much about building and doing as about reading and writing. My courses involve hands-on experiences and are often co-taught with colleagues in Classics, English, Religion, History, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics.
My first book, Court Poetry and the Culture of Learning in Japan (Harvard, 2026), charts the transformation of the poetry of the imperial court into a shared language for military and priestly elites, lower-ranking warriors, and eventually urban merchants.
My second project, Meet the People Who Built Japan, investigates the emergence of a “culture of work” in early medieval manuscripts and artifacts.
I welcome inquiries from students interested in classical through early modern Japanese literature through the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, as well as those pursuing transdisciplinary work through the program in Modern Thought and Literature, and grad makers in the humanities through Making and Creative Praxis.
More broadly, I am interested in how we engage with the world through our senses and skills, exploring fields such as the tea ceremony, psychoanalysis, woodworking, sailing, olfactory cultures, technology, and design. -
Colin Edward Stinson
Head, Preservation, Preservation
BioColin Stinson protects and provides access to one of the world’s greatest collections of materials on war, revolution, and peace. His focus is the intralogistics related to mass-digitization and conservation science (cultural heritage). Colin has a double master’s degree in sculpture + photography and a wide range of museum collections and exhibitions experience, which includes the successful completion of a multi-year project at Stanford’s Cantor Arts Center to digitize the museum’s encyclopedic collection, the reinstallation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the development of an installations department at UC Davis’ Shrem Museum. He has been responsible for the care and handling of objects at the Anderson Art Collection, (now a dedicated museum building on campus), and spent a portion of his career at a product design engineering firm founded by former leaders in Apple’s industrial design and engineering teams.

Summary of Scientific Work:
My early scientific research focused on the development of x-ray based surface techniques, especially surface EXAFS and NEXAFS, and their use for the determination of the geometric arrangement and bonding of atoms, molecules and thin organic films on surfaces. This work is summarized in my review article “SEXAFS: Everything you always wanted to know about SEXAFS but were afraid to ask” (in X-Ray Absorption: Principles, Applications, Techniques of EXAFS, SEXAFS and XANES, Edits. D. Koningsberger and R. Prins, Wiley, 1988) and my 1992 book “NEXAFS Spectroscopy” (Springer).
My later research focused on magnetic materials and phenomena, in particular the study of magnetic thin films, interfaces and nanostructures, and their ultrafast dynamics by use of forefront x-ray techniques. This work forms the foundation of my 2006 book (with H. Siegmann) entitled “Magnetism: From Fundamentals to Nanoscale Dynamics” (Springer).
With the advent of x-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) around 2010 my research increasingly focused on the description of x-rays and their interactions with matter within modern quantum optics, leading to my 2023 book “The Nature of X-Rays and their Interactions with Matter”.
In total I have written 3 books, 10 review articles in the form of book chapters and about 250 scientific Journal publications. I hold 5 patents and have given more than 150 invited talks at international scientific conferences, about 100 colloquia at Universities and Scientific Research Institutions, and 3 public lectures on the topic of magnetism and x-ray free electron lasers.

Aaron F. Straight
Pfeiffer and Herold Families Professor, Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the biology of chromosomes. Our research is focused on understanding how chromosomal domains are specialized for unique functions in chromosome segregation, cell division and cell differentiation. We are particularly interested in the genetic and epigenetic processes that govern vertebrate centromere function, in the organization of the genome in the eukaryotic nucleus and in the roles of RNAs in the regulation of chromosome structure.

Svea Victoria Strassburger
Graduate, Medicine, School of Medicine
BioI am a physicist, developer, and curious problem-solver working at the intersection of AI, medical physics, health care and digital behavioral science, climate and human-centered technology. My academic path has taken me from ETH Zurich and Heidelberg University to Chalmers University of Technology and ultimately Stanford University, with research and study stays in India, Mexico, and Svalbard. Along the way, I have worked on projects ranging from machine learning for medical imaging and AI-based Arctic weather forecasting to digital health, energy optimization, nanotechnology, quantum computing and now digital behavioral-change modeling through complex adaptive systems.
Beyond research and technology, I care deeply about using education and innovation for social impact. I have developed and taught programming curricula in India, Nepal, and Cambodia, trained local teachers on-site, and co-founded the WorldLinkVision Foundation. I am also involved in sustainability and education initiatives, including Chalmers Students for Sustainability, ConCultures e.V., and International Justice Mission. Whether through science, software, teaching, or volunteering, I am driven by the same goal: building practical solutions that help people and create meaningful change. -
