Announcing the Fall 2026 CDH Graduate Fellows

We are delighted to announce the recipients of the Fall 2026 CDH Graduate Fellowship. Grad Fellows are mentored by CDH staff to employ computational and data-driven methods in their research. As a cohort, fellows explore tools, methods, and best practices that will benefit them throughout their careers.

Please join us in congratulating this cohort:

Maximilian Diemer (History) is researching the origins of meritocratic practice in eighteenth-century France and Britain, with a focus on professionalisation in the army and royal service.

Aneka Kazlyna (History) examines the transmission and transformation of scientific knowledge between the Islamic world and early modern Europe, with a particular focus on Arabic and Latin astronomical/astrological and mathematical texts.

Shiqi Pan (East Asian Studies) studies the medieval history of the Huai River region in China, exploring it as an internal frontier shaped by environmental, political, and cultural change.

Benjamin Price (Art and Archaeology) studies art, anarchism, and histories of science in late-nineteenth century France.

Sun Shen (Politics) is studying presidential influence in the making of U.S. foreign policy.

Filippo Ugolini (East Asian Studies) examines the discourse of romance in mid-to-late Tang China (8th–9th century) at the intersection of literary analysis, gender studies, and socio-economic history.

Tirzah Anderson (History) is researching Afro-Indigenous worldmaking in Indian Territory and Oklahoma from the 1890s through the 1930s.

We look forward to working with this remarkable cohort and sharing more about their projects and fellowship outcomes as the year unfolds.
