Haoquan Fang
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2026
BioHaoquan is a CS PhD student at Stanford University, advised by Prof Fei-Fei Li as part of the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. Currently, he is also a research intern at NVIDIA Cosmos Lab, working with VP Ming-Yu Liu and Dr Haotian Zhang.
Previously, he has spent time at Ai2 PRIOR and Ai2 Robotics. He obtained his BS degree from the University of Washington, where he double majored in computer science (with honors) and statistics, and minored in mathematics. He was advised by Prof Ranjay Krishna, Prof Ali Farhadi, Prof Dieter Fox, and Prof Jenq-Neng Hwang. He was also mentored by and collaborated with Prof Jiafei Duan and Dr Ying Jin.
His research interests lie broadly in robot learning. In particular, he focuses on developing foundation models for robotic manipulation that are deployable in the real world and unlock novel capabilities. -
Ke 'Kay' Fang
Ph.D. Student in Psychology, admitted Autumn 2024
Ph.D. Minor, Computational and Mathematical EngineeringBioI am a PhD candidate in Psychology (Cognitive Science) with a minor in Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. My research uses computational approaches to understand how distributed individual minds give rise to emergent collective phenomena, including social norms, cooperation and polarization.
Before Stanford, I received a M.A. degree from New York University, where I studied topics in social psychology and computational social science. Prior to that, I received a B.A. in Management from Lanzhou University in China. -
Steven Feng
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI'm a Stanford Computer Science PhD student and NSERC PGS-D scholar, working with the Stanford AI Lab and Stanford NLP Group. I am co-advised by Michael C. Frank and Noah Goodman as part of the Language & Cognition (LangCog) and Computation & Cognition (CoCo) Labs. I am grateful to receive support from Amazon Science, Microsoft AFMR, and StabilityAI.
My ultimate goal is to blend knowledge from multiple disciplines to advance AI research. My current research centers around aligning foundation model and human learning and capabilities, particularly in reasoning, generalization, and efficiency. I have explored ways to improve the controllability of language and visual generation models, and integrate structured and multimodal information to enhance their reasoning capabilities.
I'm investigating psychologically and cognitively inspired methods for continual learning, self-improvement, and advanced reasoning in foundation models. I'm also exploring methods to bridge the data efficiency gap between human and model learning while shedding further light on human cognitive models and our efficient language and vision acquisition capabilities.
Previously, I was a master's student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I worked with Eduard Hovy and Malihe Alikhani on language generation, data augmentation, and commonsense reasoning. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo, where I worked with Jesse Hoey on dialogue agents and text generation.
My research contributions have been recognized with several publications at major conferences and a best paper award at INLG 2021. I am also an Honorable Mention for the Jessie W.H. Zou Memorial Award and CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award.
I am a co-instructor for the Stanford CS25 Transformers course, and mentor and advise several students. I also led the organization of CtrlGen, a controllable generation workshop at NeurIPS 2021, and was involved in the GEM benchmark and workshop for NLG evaluation.
In my free time, I enjoy gaming, playing the piano and guitar, martial arts, and table tennis. I am also the founder and president of the Stanford Piano Society. -
Jill Grey Ferguson
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Winter 2026
BioJill Grey Ferguson is a PhD student in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources. Jill is also the co-founder of LibertyHomes, a nonprofit dedicated to scaling inclusive utility investment systems with robust consumer protections that make home energy upgrades accessible to all people without credit checks, upfront cost, or debt. Prior to starting LibertyHomes, Jill was a Truman-Albright Fellow at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy where she led the Rural Research Initiative. She has worked at the US Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy as a solar technology fellow and as a photovoltaic cell researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Jill earned a bachelor of science in material science engineering from the University of Virginia.
