Hello domus de Eliot! I am an M3 at Harvard Medical School who is passionate about creating new approaches to mental health. Areas of research that I focus on include addiction, trauma, toxic masculinity, and, most generally, philosophical  theories of the mind and brain. Prior to starting medical school, I completed a Ph.D. in philosophy with a dissertation on the metaphysical relationship between intensive and extensive magnitudes, the generation of novelty in nature, and non-teleological ethical systems. I can frequently be seen in the Eliot House gym, library, or d-hall. In addition to medicine and philosophy, I am passionate about art (especially film), baking, and dancing. Please reach out to me if you want to chat about, or share a meal over, any of your own questions, passions or experiences – I would love to hear from you.

Hello Eliot! I’m a computational social scientist working on a PhD in Sociology, and in the house I advise on class diversity and the social sciences. I made way to sociology through interdisciplinary degrees that can be distilled into psychology and computer science, and most of my research pre-Harvard was focused on higher education policy at the intersections of economics, psychology and education. I worked in a range of industries before starting my PhD, and am happy to chat with anyone interested in thinking about non-profit work, higher education administration and/or policy, project management, or a career in research outside academia.

Hello Domus!

My name is Bulelani Jili, and I am a Resident Tutor.  Currently, I am a PhD candidate at Harvard University, as a Meta Research Ph.D. Fellow. My research interests include ICT development, Africa-China relations, Cybersecurity, Chinese Business Law, Post-Colonial Thought, and Privacy Law.

I am also a Visiting Fellow at Yale Law School, Cybersecurity Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, Futures Fellow at Mercator Institute for China studies, Scholar-in-residence at Electronic Privacy Information Center, and Research Associate at Oxford University. I have supported the Freedom House Africa Program, US Department of State, UK Government, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Human Rights Initiative at large, which investigates the spread of facial recognition technology in Africa. Chiefly my work aims to understand the nature of order that underlies China’s new globalism. Accordingly, I am happy to chat to anybody about these areas of study and more.

Prior to attending Harvard, I earned an M.Phil. from Cambridge University, where I studied as a Standard Bank Africa Chairman’s Scholar. Additionally, I was a Yenching scholar at Peking University, where I received a M.A. in Economics. Studying with Prof. He Yafei, former Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I focused on Chinese global governance strategies and domestic economic approaches.

I was born in Durban, South Africa, but I found myself living and learning in London, Connecticut, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Most importantly, I love poetry, running, and basketball. Planning dinner parties is arguably one of my great talents. A chat over a meal is greatly welcome. 

I look forward to getting to know you all!... Read more about Bulelani Jili

Hi Eliot! I’m excited to start off another year with my wife Lia and our poodle Vera. I’m in my last year of a PhD in Neuroscience, as part of the MD/PhD program. Before that, I did my undergrad at Johns Hopkins, where I studied biology and math and spent the summers volunteering at children’s centers. I also spent two years in the UK studying cancer biology. I have many geographic alliances…I was born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, where most of my family still lives, and grew up between Switzerland, Germany, Texas, and New Mexico. I enjoy working with kids in the classroom and the clinic, playing alto sax, watching good movies, and going on runs along the Charles. Come and chat about all things science, medicine, and what makes us act and think the way we do!

Hello Eliot,

This is my first year as an NRT tutor at Eliot House.  I am excited to join the community...
