David Foxe

Architect/urbanist and Marshall Scholar David M. Foxe studied at Clare College, Cambridge (UK) and MIT, earning degrees in design and history as well as music composition. I love to design and write and have guest lectured on structure, design and history topics at the universities of Nottingham, Cambridge, Columbia, and at Harvard and MIT. While I am proud to be originally from Wisconsin, my favorite cities outside of the US are currently Paris and Kiev. I design buildings for campuses and institutions through my work at EYP/ Architecture and Engineering in Boston, and I teach architecture research and a course on urban history and literature for design and thesis students at the Boston Architectural College on Newbury street. I will be assisting Parker and Katy with Fellowships this year and look forward to meeting all of you who would like to talk about anything related to fellowships, design and planning, or chamber music. Feel free to email or call or stop by at dinner!

Dave Guo

Hi Adams House! My name is Dave, and I'm a first-year med student at HMS. I graduated from Stanford in 2004, where I majored in biological sciences and minored in French. Both came in handy for my first job, which was teaching human biology in Francophone West Africa. After some bouts of malaria and dysentery, I came back to the states and sought out some more normal work as a management consultant with Bain & Co in San Francisco. Two years later, I'm back at school, trading in the consultant-speak for all those Latin medical terms that physicians like to throw around. I like pick-up soccer, full contact rugby, visiting churches, California weather and children's books in French and Spanish. Feel free to drop me a line if you're interested in pursuing medicine (or consulting), or if you'd like to share anything else!

Janice Hwang

Hi Adams House! I was born in New Jersey but spent most of my formative years in Greer, SC. Since then, I've been slowly making my way back up north (going to Princeton for undergrad followed by Harvard Med School) and am now happily settled in Brookline, MA with my wonderful husband, Dave, whom I met on the first day at HMS (dating does exist in med school!). Currently, I'm a junior resident in internal medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess and plan to specialize in endocrinology with research interests in metabolism. I've got plenty of advice on deciding to be a doctor, applying to med school, the MCAT, setting up research projects, taking time off, dating/marrying a physician, etc. I also love talking about tasty restaurants, exotic travel destinations, and Grey's Anatomy.

Judd Kessler

Hey Adams! I'm currently a third year graduate student in the Business Economics program at GSAS and HBS. I graduated from Adams in 2004 and am very happy to be back as a non-resident tutor (despite the House's proximity to the Crimson and its Editorial Board, which consumed thousands of hours of my undergraduate life). And while I might not be as useful to the Adams IM basketball team as I was at 19 years old, I can offer advice: about Economics at Harvard, about applying to fellowships, about post-grad study and travel (I spent one year at Cambridge University), and about how to cope with the adverse effects of an academic life on your jump shot.

Mike Law

Greetings Everyone! I'm a 4th year student in the PhD in Health Policy, focusing on program evaluation and statistics, mostly in the area of pharmaceuticals. Recently I've done some work examining the impact of drug advertisements and the value of newer drugs. When I'm not losing my eyesight staring at a computer, I do as much cycling, hiking, rock climbing, skiing and canoing as possible. I'm originally from Cambridge, Ontario (about an hour west of Toronto) and have lived in both England and New Zealand. I'm always up for reminiscing about NZ, helping people understand statistics or debating public policy, especially health care. Look forward to meeting everyone!

Scott Lee

Yo Adams, What it is? I'm a second-year MD-PhD student at HMS and HBS. I graduated from the College in 2003, having studied medical anthropology, religion, and African studies, and between college and med school I did graduate work in international development and health policy at Cambridge and Princeton, respectively. Concurrently, I've spent parts of the past seven years in rural Kenya working with an indigenous community development organization called Ugunja Community Resource Center, and I've also had stints with the World Health Organization in Geneva and Partners In Health in Rwanda. So, let's see... taking time off before med school, medicine vs. public health vs. activism, global health, international development, social justice, anthropology, econometrics, moral philosophy, and last but not least, The Office -- if any of these are of interest to you, let's talk! (Seriously, don't be shy; when I was an undergrad, I always thought it would be awkward and/or rude to contact a random tutor about a random topic, but it turns out that such random encounters are one of the few ways in which we non-res tutors can get to know you guys.)

Peter Liang

Hey Adams! I'm Peter and I'm excited to be joining the house as a premed tutor. I was born in China, moved to the US when I was 8, and call Seattle my home. I did my undergrad at Stanford but decided I was sick of palm trees and sunshine all year long, and so I came out East for med school. I'm a MD/MPH candidate at HMS/HSPH. In my spare time, I like to play soccer, basketball, table tennis, and do Tae Kwon Do. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Robert Lindsley

Hi everyone! My name is Rob Lindsley and grew up just outside of Atlanta, GA. I first found my way up to the Boston area as an ungrad at Tufts where I studied Biopsychology and African Studies. After about 8 years in the cold, dark north I have learned a trick or two about staying warm (layers- yes, everyone was right about this), and am always happy to share my secrets or commiserate with fellow warm weather transplants. As for my current work, I am a third year doctoral student at the Graduate School of Education in the Human Development and Education program. My research there deals with school and community-based mental health interventions for children affected by conflict and natural disaster. As well as my studies, I work half time at a Boston-based international humanitarian organization where I get the chance to pull together insights from psychology, anthropology, and a variety of biological and social sciences in my work. If you would like to learn more about work in the aid and development sector (or what sorts of practical things one can do with a degree in the social sciences), come grab me for a chat. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all soon!

Andre Moura

I am a first year student in the MBA program at the business school. More importantly, I graduated from Adams House in 2003 and am very much looking forward to meeting everyone. My undergraduate concentration was in computer science, and over the last four years, I worked at McKinsey, a consulting firm, and New Mountain Capital, a private equity firm. After all this work experience, I think I've finally figured out the difference between consulting and investment banking, so get in touch if you would like to discuss.

Justin Pasquariello

J. Justin Pasquariello '01 majored in Government and lived in Kirkland House. Several of his closest friends and his best times were in Adams House. This year, he began a three year MPA/ MBA program at the Kennedy School and Harvard Business School. In his time away from Cambridge, he moved east one town to Boston and founded a mentoring organization for adopted and foster children: Adoption and Foster Care Mentoring Inc. (afcmentoring.org). His fiancee interned there, but they started dating when she wasn't there anymore. He currently is trying to write a book and a business plan. While Justin has spent most of his life in and around Boston, he also spent a year in England at age 5 and studied abroad at the University of Sydney in Australia. He enjoys attending weekly mass, improv comedy, Saturday Night Live, travel and small-scale adventure.

Ward Penfold

After an inauspicious birth near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Ward came to relative maturity in Kailua, Hawaii. Following graduation from "Barack Obama's high school" in Honolulu, he went on to study intellectual history at Berkeley and law at the University of Chicago. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in history at Harvard, and his dissertation deals with the relationship between philosophy and jurisprudence during the first half of the nineteenth century in France and Germany. He would love to discuss history, philosophy, the combination thereof, or just about anything else with those interested. Much of Ward's misspent youth involved playing soccer, so he is also up for pick-up games and/or intramurals.

Christopher Phillips

Chris is a graduate student in History of Science, focusing on the history of mathematics and math education. He was previously an undergraduate in Adams and is happy to assist with questions of intro math courses, history of science, and American history. If you see him at lunch, please join him--

Alex Taylor

After two years living in Adams I'm back as a non-resident tutor because I can't get enough of the best house on campus! If you're looking for help with the latest chemistry problem set, feel free to stop by our weekly science tables in the dining hall to commiserate and get help. See you around the house!
