I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of History and a Graduate Student Instructor at the University of California, Berkeley. I’m affiliated with the Office for the History of Science & Technology and the Science, Technology & Society Center.
I'm interested in the histories of the human sciences—especially those focused on mind, brain and behavior—with side interests in genetics and evolutionary biology. More specifically, I focus on the history of psychoanalysis prior to WWII.
At Berkeley, the history of science is my primary field of study, while my secondary field is the history of late modern Europe (Europe since 1789). The cultural, social and political history of 19th and 20th century Germany is of particular interest here.
Graduate school is extraordinarily time-intensive, but I like to watch films, listen to live music, write, travel, and dabble in foreign languages when time permits.
Feel free to email me if you have questions about the Berkeley History Department, the OHST program, or more general inquiries about graduate study at Cal.
