Kai Dowding
Undergraduate Student Services Officer, History Department
BioAs the undergraduate student services officer for the Department of History, I oversee student degree progress in the major and minor and work closely with the director of undergraduate studies, director of honors and research, and our intrepid peer advisors to plan and carry out undergraduate programming. I also schedule the department’s curriculum in collaboration with the vice chair. I enjoy getting to know each student as they journey through the major or minor, and am always happy to chat with students about their interests and plans, both within Stanford and beyond.

Erinn Drage
Ph.D. Student in Environmental Social Sciences, admitted Autumn 2025
BioErinn Drage is an environmental filmmaker, conservation social scientist, and outdoor adventure guide from Canmore, Alberta. In addition to her primary work in international conservation policy, she has guided expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica and written, edited, and directed award-winning documentary films. Her past scientific research has included studying nature-based tourism economies in Alaska and social well-being, human rights, and conservation in Kanungu, Uganda. At Stanford, Erinn is exploring the political and economic dimensions of biodiversity conservation, with a focus on community-led stewardship and the role of human institutions in shaping conservation outcomes. When not pursuing her intellectual passions around conservation, she can usually be found trail running, mountain biking, or backcountry skiing in the nearest mountain ranges.

Angelo Dragone
Associate Professor of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioAngelo Dragone is an Associate Professor of Photon Science and Electrical Engineering (by courtesy). He has over 20 years of experience in the research and development of Instrumentation for Scientific experiments. He received his Ph.D. in Microelectronics from the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, for his research on mixed-signal readout architecture for radiation detectors, conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He worked in the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2004, before joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in 2008. Over the past 15 years, he has been designing radiation detectors, with a focus on innovative architectural solutions for state-of-the-art scientific instruments and sensor interfaces. These solutions have applications in photon science, particle physics, medical imaging, and national security. At SLAC, he focused his research on designing high frame rate, large dynamic range X-ray detectors for the Linac Coherent Light Source SLAC X-ray Free-electron Laser facility. Since 2012, he has held a management position as head of the Integrated Circuits Department within the Instrumentation Division of the Technology Innovation Directorate (TID) at SLAC. During the past three years, Dr. Dragone has been working on the strategic R&D planning for the SLAC X-ray detectors Initiative and leads, as Program Director, TID Detector R&D, and the applied Microelectronics program. Recently, he has been appointed as Deputy Associate Lab Director for TID strategy. His current research interests are on ultra-fast X-ray detector architectures for X-ray Free-Electron Lasers applications and developing efficient, scalable systems with "smart" real-time processing capabilities. More broadly, he is interested in understanding the fundamental performance limits of radiation detection systems.

Juliana 'Julie' Dresvina
Overseas Studies - Oxford, Bing Overseas Studies
BioI am a medievalist and cultural historian; my work combines history, literary criticism, art history, and psychology. One of my current research projects explores how people use self-narratives — creative, devotional, or non-fiction — as a form of therapeutic practice. I am also interested in how human-shaped spaces of spiritual significance, along with religious material objects, function therapeutically: from devotional manuscripts and misericord carvings to rock sanctuaries, holy wells, and thermal springs.
I have published monographs with Oxford University Press and Brill, and I teach interdisciplinary courses on cultural history, literature, psychology, and art, as well as do study skills mentoring. -
Taran Driver
Lead Scientist, LCLS - Linac Coherent Light Source
BioI gained my PhD from the Blackett Laboratory Laser Consortium at Imperial College London, where my primary research project was the development of a new type of mass spectrometry for the structural analysis of protein, DNA and RNA molecules. This technology is known as two-dimensional partial-covariance mass spectrometry (2D PC MS). Here at Stanford I work at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), using the attosecond X-ray pulses produced by the newly developed XLEAP mode to study ultrafast electronic processes in molecules. We are developing and using new spectroscopic methods in the attosecond regime to observe the motion of electrons in complex molecular systems on their natural timescale. This helps us to understand how the coherent quantum dynamics of these electronic systems affect subsequent chemical motion.
