The West House IM soccer team plays in the House co-rec league for the fall term. Games are on Friday afternoons. IM registration is free for House team members. To join the team, please contact captain Cory Cline (Cory.T.Cline.TH@dartmouth.edu).
I’m the House Professor for West House, and am also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy, studying supermassive black holes in galaxies and how they grow through cosmic time. I live with my family in the West House Professor residence on Webster Avenue.
I was born and bred in Rhode Island, and was an undergrad at Yale where I played rugby and was a guitarist in a rock band, in addition to working on my senior thesis in experimental particle physics. After college I moved to England where I taught physics at Oundle School, a large boarding school, and then moved on to Harvard for my Ph.D. in astronomy. I then returned to the UK for a postdoctoral fellowship at Durham University, and then moved to Dartmouth where I’ve been since 2011. My interests outside physics include music, skiing, Newcastle United (and West House IM soccer!), and traveling with my family.
I am the Assistant Director of Residential Education of West House, and I live in Room 113 on the first floor of Fahey. While originally from The Great Land of Alaska, I have spent the majority of my life in the Washington DC area. Most recently, I worked at George Mason University (Fairfax, VA) where I served in both graduate academic affairs/student services roles and in student conduct/student development roles. My educational background is quite varied, with degrees in Government and Politics, Environmental Science and Higher Education Administration. In my spare time I enjoy anything the outdoors, exploring the Upper-Valley, rowing, furniture restoration/repurposing and volunteering. I look forward to not only working with faculty, staff and students, but the cold and snowy winters.
The Resident Fellows are graduate students who live in West House and are part of the leadership team for the community. As well as taking part in House activities, and spending time in the community, they will be holding weekly office hours in the House to offer help with their respective academic fields or for personal or professional guidance.
Jennifer Franks (Biomedical Sciences, Butterfield)
Jennifer.M.Franks.GR@dartmouth.edu
Hi West House! My name is Jennifer Franks and I am a 5th year PhD candidate in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences. I am living on the first floor of Butterfield. I am originally from Noblesville, Indiana and did my undergrad work in Statistics and Genetics at Purdue University. A fun fact about me is that I used to competitively show llamas for 10+ years. Most of my current days are spent in a research lab in Remsen but outside of that, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and ballroom dancing.
Cory Cline (Engineering, Butterfield)
Cory.T.Cline.TH@dartmouth.edu
I’m Cory Cline from Colorado and I’m a PhD Candidate at Thayer School of Engineering, specialized in Material Sciences. When I’m not in the lab, you might find me around Butterfield or at the gym; you’ll definitely be seeing me at West House events. I’m easy to talk to, so don’t hesitate to approach me. I’m into high adrenaline experiences; I’ve sky dived and I’m on my way to obtaining a recreational pilot’s license. Something that generally surprises people is my age; I recently turned 23 and am now a third year PhD student. I guess you could say I’m enthusiastic about learning, I’d rather joke that I’m just a go-getter.
Anja Subasic (Computer Science, Fahey)
Anja.Subasic.GR@dartmouth.edu
My name is Anja Subasic and I am a second year MS student in the Computer Science department at Dartmouth. I am a resident fellow for West House this year, and I live in Fahey. I am originally from Belgrade, Serbia, where I lived until I moved to the US to get my Bachelor’s degrees in Music Performance and Computer Science. Something interesting about me is that I played with the Belgrade Philharmonic when I was in high school, and until my junior year of undergrad I wanted to be a professional orchestral musician! I eventually decided to keep percussion as a hobby and get a masters in CS, which brought me to Dartmouth. Next year I hope to move to the West Coast and get a job as a data scientist!
Edel Auh (Medicine, Russell Sage)
Edel.Auh.MED@Dartmouth.edu
My name is Edel Auh, and I’m currently an M1 at Geisel School of Medicine. I’m one of the Resident Fellows, and I currently live on the first floor of Russell Sage. Fun fact about me: I’m actually an ’18 who just graduated! I was a Comparative Literature major (specializing in Japanese translation) and Global Health in Anthropology and Japanese double minor. If you have any questions for a recent Dartmouth grad or about pre-med or life at Dartmouth in general, feel free to reach out to me or stop by my room for a chat. I love food, so I’m always down for a meal at Collis or Foco with people!
