Yahui He
Postdoctoral Scholar, Archaeology
BioYahui He is an environmental archaeologist specializing in archaeobotany in East Asia. Her research investigates the dynamics of human-plant relationships in multi-scalar socio-political contexts, focusing on the materiality of plants in processes of sedentism and urbanism.
Her PhD and ongoing research work in the Northern Zone, China (northern Loess Plateau and southern Mongolian Plateau) utilizes multi-proxy methods, including starch, phytolith, fungi, and use-wear analyses, to explore plant-based food and drink practices across different social contexts, such as household, community, and mortuary settings. Yahui’s collaborative research extends to studies on plant exploitation and dispersal, as well as related technologies such as plant food fermentation and bast fiber production across mainland China and beyond, including Erlitou in Henan and others in Taiwan and Honduras.
Prior to joining the Stanford Archaeology Center as a postdoctoral scholar, Yahui obtained her PhD at Stanford and was a Li Foundation Fellow at the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge, UK (2024). -

Wanheng Hu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Philosophy
BioWanheng Hu is a scholar of Science and Technology Studies (STS) whose research examines the epistemic, ethical, and regulatory dimensions of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on machine learning in medicine. His current book project, Reassembling Expertise: Credible Knowledge and Machine Learning in Medical Imaging, is an ethnographic study of the Chinese medical AI industry. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork, the project analyzes how, and in what sense, human medical expertise is translated into AI systems and how the credibility of these systems is negotiated across industrial, clinical, and regulatory settings. His broader scholarship engages the social studies of science, medicine, and technology; the sociology of expertise; critical data and algorithm studies; media studies; and public engagement with science.
Wanheng is currently an Embedded Ethics Fellow at Stanford University’s McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society, in partnership with the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and the Department of Computer Science. He is also an affiliate of the Data & Society Research Institute, a member of the Schwartz Reisman Institute’s AI & Trust Working Group at the University of Toronto, and a member of Cornell University’s Artificial Intelligence, Policy, and Practice (AIPP) initiative. He was previously a Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Program on Science, Technology and Society (2022–23). He holds a Ph.D. in STS with a minor in Media Studies from Cornell University. His research has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the China Times Cultural Foundation, and Cornell’s Hu Shih Fellowship, among other sources, and has appeared in venues including Public Understanding of Science and The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Machine Learning. -

Elif Gediz Kocaoglan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioGediz completed her PhD in Bioengineering from Imperial College London. She specialized in plant synthetic biology, developed molecular tools and used regeneration as a model development process to test the functionality of these tools. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Dinneny Lab, where she explores the form-function relationship of the root epidermis and investigates how plants adapt to environmental stress. By integrating biodiversity with synthetic biology approaches, her work aims to uncover design constraints for developing climate-resilient plants.
