Edward Y. Chang
Acting Professor, Computer Science
BioEdward Y. Chang has been an adjunct professor in Stanford’s Computer Science Department since 2019. Previously, he was a tenured professor at UC Santa Barbara. From 2006 to 2012, he served as a director at Google Research, where he pioneered data-centric and parallel machine learning and contributed to the ImageNet project. Chang later became president of HTC Healthcare, where he developed AI-powered diagnostics and won the Tricorder XPRIZE. He has also held positions at HKUST and UC Berkeley. Chang earned an MS in Computer Science and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford. He is a Fellow of ACM and IEEE for his contributions to scalable machine learning and healthcare AI.
Since 2019, Chang’s research has focused on virtual assistance, collaborating with Monica Lam, and more recently on large language models (LLMs). He hypothesizes that LLM Collaborative Intelligence (LCI) could pave the way toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Chang has authored seven books, including:
Unlocking the Wisdom of Large Language Models (2024)
LLM Collaborative Intelligence: The Path to Artificial General Intelligence (2024)
Journey of the Mind (Poetry, 2023)
Mandarin translation of Erwin Schrödinger’s What is Life? Mind and Matter (2021)
Big Data Analytics for Large-Scale Multimedia Search (2019)
Nomadic Eternity (Poetry, 2012)
Foundations of Large-Scale Multimedia Information Management and Retrieval (2011) -

Andrew Andai Chien
Visiting Professor, Computer Science
BioAndrew A Chien is visiting Stanford on sabbatical for 2024-25 AY. At the University of Chicago, he is the William Eckhardt Distinguished Service Professor of Computer Science and Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratories. He has led the Zero-carbon Cloud project since 2015, and is known for his research on datacenters, renewable energy and sustainability, cloud resource management and software, large-scale system architecture, and graph computing architecture. Chien is leader of the IARPA funded “UpDown System Project”, designing breakthrough scalable graph analytics systems. Chien has received numerous recognitions for research. Dr. Chien currently serves on the NSF CISE Advisory Committee and DARPA ISAT. He is a Fellow of the ACM, IEEE, and AAAS. He served as EiC of Communications of the ACM, 2017-2022, and Vice President of Research at Intel Corporation from 2005-2010. He served as SAIC Chair Professor of University of California, San Diego and earlier as faculty at the University of Illinois. He received BS, MS, and PhD degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
