BioByron Reeves, PhD, is the Paul C. Edwards Professor of Communication at Stanford and
Professor (by courtesy) in the Stanford School of Education. Byron has a long history of
experimental research on the psychological processing of media, and resulting responses and
effects. He has studied how media influence attention, memory and emotional responses and has
applied the research in the areas of speech dialogue systems, interactive games, advanced
displays, social robots, and autonomous cars. Byron has recently launched (with Stanford
colleagues Nilam Ram and Thomas Robinson) the Human Screenome Project (Nature, 2020),
designed to collect moment-by-moment changes in technology use across applications, platforms
and screens.
At Stanford, Byron has been Director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information,
and Co-Director of the H-STAR Institute (Human Sciences and Technologies Advanced
Research), and he was the founding Director of mediaX at Stanford, a university-industry
program launched in 2001 to facilitate discussion and research at the intersection of academic
and applied interests. Byron has worked at Microsoft Research and with several technology
startups, and has been involved with media policy at the FTC, FCC, US Congress and White
House. He is an elected Fellow of the International Communication Association, and recipient of ICA Fellows book award for The Media Equation (with Prof. Clifford Nass), and the Novim Foundation Epiphany Science and Society Award. Byron’s PhD in Communication is from Michigan State University. -
Rob Reich
McGregor-Girand Professor of Social Ethics of Science and Technology, Professor, by courtesy, of Education, of Philosophy and Senior Fellow, by courtesy, of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
BioRob Reich is professor of political science and, by courtesy, professor of philosophy and at the Graduate School of Education. He is a co-director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (publisher of the Stanford Social Innovation Review), and associate director of the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. He was faculty director at the Center for Ethics in Society for eight years, and he continues to lead its ethics and technology initiatives.
His scholarship in political theory engages with the work of social scientists and engineers. His newest work is on ethics and AI. His most recent books are System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot (with Mehran Sahami and Jeremy M. Weinstein, HarperCollins 2021) and Digital Technology and Democratic Theory (edited with Lucy Bernholz and Hélène Landemore, University of Chicago Press 2021). He has also written widely about philanthropy, including Just Giving: Why Philanthropy is Failing Democracy and How It Can Do Better (Princeton University Press, 2018) and Philanthropy in Democratic Societies: History, Institutions, Values (edited with Chiara Cordelli and Lucy Bernholz, University of Chicago Press, 2016). His early work is focused on democracy and education, including Bridging Liberalism and Multiculturalism in American Education (University of Chicago Press, 2002) and Education, Justice, and Democracy (edited with Danielle Allen, University of Chicago Press, 2013). He has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, Wired, The Guardian, and the Stanford Social Innovation Review.
Rob is the recipient of multiple teaching awards, including the Walter J. Gores award, Stanford’s highest honor for teaching. He was a sixth grade teacher at Rusk Elementary School in Houston, Texas before attending graduate school. He is a board member of the magazine Boston Review, of Giving Tuesday, and at the Spencer Foundation. -
Sophie (Jing) Ren
Masters Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2023
BioSophie Ren is a Chinese learning scientist, product architect, and serial entrepreneur. Ren's research in the learning sciences focuses on theory, methods, techniques, and motivation that accelerate adult learning, particularly using the unconscious part of the brain to enhance the outcome of learning. In addition, Ren has made numerous creative contributions to the e-learning industry. Moreover, Ren's original creations included crisscrossed modules, the UGC reward system, and a model for the NLP and Voice Recognition System. Regarding Ren's product, the Game-Fi e-learning platform DouXing, minimizes human capital costs and increases HR departments' visibility into the learning process and employee success. Ren's career has had a significant impact on China's education and training industry. Using incentive principles, memory science, and technical tools, Ren increased her influence in the learning industry by creating and executing successful and widely utilized learning platforms for 2.2 million users from over 100 companies. In China, current consumers of Ren's products include, among others, the Bank of China, Dunkin' Donuts, Yum Foods, and Boss.
Sophie founded her learning science laboratory and firm in 2014 in order to find ways to boost adult learning, particularly in the chain industry. Using a learning progress design, Sophie Ren has written 112 professional articles on how to inspire an individual to increase learning and training speed in an organization. Ren simultaneously obtained seventeen copyrights in China. Numerous significant media publications, such as Forbes, Crunchbase, and Hurun, have also highlighted the popularity of DouXing.
The focus of Ren's study is the interface between learning science and technology. Ren will continue investigating how to reduce the time required to acquire declarative and imperative knowledge through the use of technology. Since Ren believes there is no one-size-fits-all learning technique, she is tackling the difficulties of fully individualized learning software with artificial intelligence, gaming approaches, and motivational systems. Enhancing the rate and caliber of learning can usher in a new era of human advancement.
Ren's objective is to identify the formula for personalized learning in an organization by combining cognitive science and technology to construct, develop, and improve learning tools for adults. Ren's research interests in the learning sciences focus on informal learning and enhancing the utilization of the brain's unconscious regions through the application of theories, the discovery of formulas, and the development of models to accelerate and maximize adults' learning speed and quality within an organization. -
