Rika Antonova
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and a recipient of NSF/CRA Computing Innovation Fellowship for research on active learning of transferable priors, kernels, and latent representations for robotics. Currently, I work at the IPRL lab headed by Jeannette Bohg.
I completed my PhD work on data-efficient simulation-to-reality transfer at the Robotics, Perception and Learning lab at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden), working in the group headed by Danica Kragic. During my PhD time, I also had an opportunity to intern at NVIDIA Robotics (Seattle, USA) and Microsoft Research (Cambridge, UK).
Previously, I was a Masters student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, developing Bayesian optimization approaches for learning control parameters for bipedal locomotion (with Akshara Rai and Chris Atkeson). During my time at CMU my MS advisor was Emma Brunskill and in her group I worked on developing reinforcement learning algorithms for education.
Prior to that, I was a software engineer at Google, first in the Search Personalization group and then in the Character Recognition team (developing open-source OCR engine Tesseract). -
Federico Bianchi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioFederico Bianchi is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. His research, ranging from Natural Language Processing methods for textual analytics to recommender systems for e-commerce has been accepted to major NLP and AI conferences (EACL, NAACL, EMNLP, ACL, AAAI, RecSys) and journals (Cognitive Science, Applied Intelligence, Semantic Web Journal).

Andrea Cuadra
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoc working with James Landay. My field is Human-Computer Interaction, and my work lies at the intersection of interaction design, inclusivity, and artificial intelligence. I study the needs of marginalized groups who may particularly benefit from or be harmed by the outcomes of technology design decisions that affect us all. In addition, I employ my design skills to generate and advocate for more-inclusive design alternatives.

Yoav Levine
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioDr. Yoav Levine is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, and will subsequently join Tel Aviv University as a faculty member in the school of Computer Science. Until recently, he served as co-Chief Scientist in AI21 Labs, an Israeli start up in the field of NLP. His PhD is from the Hebrew University, and for it he has received the Israeli Academy of Sciences Adams fellowship and the Blavatnik PhD Prize, awarded annually to the top 5 Israeli PhD theses in the field of computer science. Prior to his doctoral studies, Yoav earned an M.Sc. in theoretical condensed matter physics from the Weizmann Institute, and a double B.Sc. in physics and electrical engineering (both summa cum laude) from Tel Aviv University, as a member of its Adi Lautman excellence program.

Weiyan Shi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests are in Natural Language Processing, especially intelligent interactive systems and the following directions:
* Interactive systems specialized in social influence for social good (e.g., persuasive dialogues)
* Privacy-preserving NLP models
* Task-oriented and open-domain dialogue systems
* Intelligible dialogue generation
* Learning through interaction
My research vision is to build a natural interface between human intelligence and machine intelligence via natural conversations, so that all members of society can interact with AI models seamlessly regardless of their backgrounds. -
Kangning Wang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research lies in the intersection of Computer Science and Economics. I am particularly interested in using mathematical or algorithmic techniques to provide approximately efficient or fair economic solutions in fields including Social Choice, Mechanism Design, Information Design, and Market Design, especially when the exact optima are infeasible due to selfishness of agents, lack of information, computational hardness, etc.
