Introducing new faculty
The following are among the new faculty members at the University. Others will be introduced periodically in this space. Zeuler Lima, Ph.D., joins the School of Architecture as assistant professor. Lima holds a professional diploma, master's degree and doctorate from the School of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo in Brazil, and a post-doctoral degree from Columbia University. He has taught at the University of São Paulo, University of Michigan and Columbia University. From 1989-1996, he co-directed a São Paulo-based firm that won several public competitions in Brazil, including one for a government building on the mall in Brasėlia. Lima is developing a book about modernism and the work of Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi. He also is researching modern architecture and the public sphere in New York City and São Paulo, in collaboration with Eric Mumford, associate professor of architecture. Aaron Stump, Ph.D., joins the Department of Computer Science & Engineering as assistant professor. He earned a bachelor's degree at Cornell University in 1997 and a doctorate at Stanford University in 2002. His primary research interests are in computational logic and automated reasoning, with secondary interests in programming languages, system verification and software engineering. One of his new projects is about correct program development. The goal is to give programmers the ability to record some of their intuitive understanding of why their code works correctly as a machine-checkable proof (or partial proof). The ultimate aim is to help programmers create more-correct software. Nathan Jensen, Ph.D., joins the Department of Political Science in Arts & Sciences as assistant professor. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in 1998 and a doctorate from Yale University in 2002. In 2001-02, he was a Visiting Scholar in International Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. His primary research interest is in international political economy with special emphasis on international institutions and foreign direct investment. Seth Graebner, Ph.D., joins the Department of Romance Languages & Literatures and the program in International & Area Studies, both in Arts & Sciences, as assistant professor. He earned a bachelor's degree in French in 1992 from Gustavus Adolphus College, a master's degree in French in 1996 and a doctorate in French and Francophone literature in 2000, both from Harvard University. During 2000-01, he was Research Fellow at the Centre d'Etudes Littraires at the Universit Cadi Ayyad in Marrakesh, Morocco; during 2001-02 he was an American Council of Learned Societies Fellow in International Studies at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. His work revolves around the relationships between literature and history and the physical spaces and borders of cultural contact in which both take place. |
