My research is mainly focused on how a teleological view of causation features in our view of composition, persistence and essence. Here is a picture of me thinking about the essence of pizza and wondering whether nacho pizza is a kind of pizza.

I am interested in leveraging behavioral experiments and computational modeling to understand how we represent the world around us, how we simulate alternative worlds, and how we use these simulations to make inferences. In my undergraduate, I studied cognitive science and mathematics. I like to drink milk.

I’m a junior at Stanford majoring in symbolic systems. I’m interested in understanding cognition through computational models. Outside of this I enjoy playing viola and taking care of my fish and corals!

I am interested in how causal reasoning mechanisms in humans can inspire machine learning algorithms that are both more generalizable and interpretable. I am especially passionate about using new ML and AI technology for social good. I completed my BSc. at UBC studying Cognitive Systems with a focus in Computational Intelligence and Design. I like to drink coffee, maybe a bit too much.

I am a sophomore at Stanford looking to major in Computer Science on the AI track. I am interested in using computational models to explore causality in social settings. Outside of that, I enjoy dancing and amateur vegan baking.

I’m a dutiful questioner and an adroit researcher. I have a background in education and second language acquisition. I’m interested in how language affects social category development as well as perceived characteristics of individual social group members. I am also interested in the psychological and sociological disciplines that interact with each other and how the information I’ve learned from both perspectives are related together. So far at Stanford, I’m working on a couple of projects on causal judgements and shape bias. Ultimately, I’m planning to become a human factors researcher or UX research scientist. I love to do high intensity workouts followed by vanilla sweet cream cold brew coffee, or maybe coffee first!

I am an undergraduate sophomore currently studying Symbolic Systems. I’m interested in making AI more ethical and learning about different computational models that people use to solve real-world problems. Outside of that, I enjoy playing trombone and piano, and like playing basketball and frisbee with my friends.

I’m passionate with complex systems, human intellectuality, and world-building prospects. Majoring in computer science, I’m excited about AI and interdisciplinary research. Things I enjoy: poetry and guitar, hiking and dancing, and a sip of Earl Grey Tea.

I’m an undergraduate majoring in symbolic systems and philosophy. I am interested in epistemology, philosophy of mind, experimental philosophy, and learning more about how people reason. In my spare time, I enjoy knitting and writing poetry.

I’m a senior at Stanford studying Symbolic Systems with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence. I’m interested in using computational methods to understand human and artificial cognition, with a focus on moral judgment and reasoning. Outside of school, I enjoy reading and watching soccer.

I am interested in understanding how effectively language models can perform reasoning and comprehend commonsense and factual knowledge. Subsequently, with a better understanding of LLM’s cognitive abilities, I hope to build more cognitive-feasible and efficient language models at small scales. In my free time, I like running and sailing. I like lemonade.

I am interested in using different methods to explore social cognition, interpersonal interactions, and understanding the mind. I also enjoy reading, writing, and staying active.

I am currently a PhD candidate in Nick Haber’s Autonomous Agents Lab. I double-majored in cognitive neuroscience and computer sciences from Minerva School. I am interested in how causal representations form our understandings in both the physical world and the social world. In my spare time, I enjoy learning electronics and observing squirrels.

I’m a PhD student in the PDP lab. My research is on computational cognitive modeling, that is, identifying psychological constructs and understanding their mechanisms through computer models such as neural networks. In particular, I am interested in logical and mathematical reasoning which are essential cognitive faculties for inference, problem solving, and decision making.

I’m a Computer Science PhD student focusing on Artificial Intelligence. I’m interested in allowing AI systems to have causal reasoning capabilities. I received my master of science in Symbolic Systems. I like to solve puzzles in my spare time.

I am an affective science PhD Student at the Stanford Psychophysiology Lab. I use a combination of behavioral experiments, experience-sampling, physiological measures, and computational modeling to understand how beliefs about emotions shape emotion regulation. When I am not in the lab, you can find me 3,000ft up in the sky, working towards my private pilot license!

I am a PhD Student in the Stanford Social Learning Lab. My research interests focus on the representations and motivations that guide learning and play early in life. I like to eat tacos and drink coffee.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, as well as a Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Fellow. I work on robotics, human-robot interaction, brain-machine interface, cognitive science, and neuroscience. My research focus is human-centered artificial intelligence: Understanding human intelligence for developing biologically-inspired AI algorithms, as well as making AIs more compatible with humans.
