Alexander Spangher
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioAlexander Spangher is a post-doctoral researcher advised by Daniel Ho, Sanmi Koyejo and Diyi Yang. His research focuses on modeling human decision-making in creative domains, especially in contexts where data is limited and rewards and goals are less clear. He is building out a new domain of learning, called emulation learning, with the goal of training the next generation of reasoning-oriented language models to be more proficient in these domains. His research has been used at technology organizations like OpenAI, Google and EleutherAI. He is especially passionate about helping journalists and has framed tasks and trained reasoning LLMs to help journalists find stories and sources, structure narratives and track information updates. These tools have been incorporated into newsrooms at the New York Times, Bloomberg and Stanford Big Local News, impacting thousands of journalists; and his work is also informing the next generation of journalistic education at USC Annenberg. His work has received numerous awards including two outstanding paper awards at EMNLP 2024, one spotlight award at ICML 2024, one outstanding paper award at NAACL 2022 and a best paper award at CJ2023; and he has been supported by a 4-year Bloomberg PhD Fellowship. His work is broad: in addition to his work in NLP and computational journalism, he has studied misinformation at Microsoft Research and collaborated with the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center to model plasma fusion processes.

Adrien Specht
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Spring 2024
BioI'm a PhD student in the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) at Stanford University, mentored by Prof. Mignot. My research is at the intersection of artificial intelligence and sleep medicine, focusing on developing predictive models for circadian rhythms and sleep debt from proteomics data. I adopt a problem-oriented approach, selecting methods based on the data and research questions at hand. My techniques range from linear regression to sophisticated deep learning frameworks, aiming to extract maximal insights from the data. I also explore the use of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, and am interested in the applications of multimodal and foundation models in biology.
