Biography

Dehn Gilmore is a Professor of English at the California Institute of Technology, where he also serves as the Executive Officer of the Humanities Division. His academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University in 2002, followed by Master of Philosophy degrees from Trinity College, University of Cambridge in 2003 and Columbia University in 2005, culminating with a Ph.D. in 2009.
