Staci Lewis
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsStaci is interested in the impacts of land-use change on coral reef ecosystem services, and the transformation of governance regimes towards adaptive management of marine and coastal resources. Her work is based in the Republic of Palau, an island nation in Micronesia, where she is studying the emergence of watershed management and the sedimentation impacts on coral reefs in two watershed systems that have experienced modern increase in land development.

Qiao Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Statistics
BioI am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Statistics, Stanford University, advised by Prof. Wing Hung Wong (NAS member). Prior to that, I was a PhD student at Tsinghua University, where I spent two years at Stanford University, jointly advised by Prof. Wing Hung Wong. My research interests lie in the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and computational biology. I'm especially fascinated by solving several problems in statistics, such as density estimation, causal inference, and likelihood-free Bayesian, with deep generative models. Besides, I'm also interested in various problems in computational biology and biomedical informatics, which involve genomic data, pharmacology data, and biomedical data analysis.

Yougeng Lu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioYougeng Lu (he/him/his) is a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Natural Capital Project on developing urban nature exposure model. His research focuses on exploring the linkages between exposure to urban nature, such as green space and street trees, and individual's physical activity and mental health. Yougeng received his Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Development from the University of Southern California, where he developed a high spatiotemporal resolution PM2.5 prediction model with low-cost air sensors and studied how people's travel behavior affects their air pollution exposure. He holds an M.Sc. in Urban Planning from University of Washington, Seattle; and a B.Sc. in Geography from Wuhan University, China.

Simon Sihang Luo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Political Science
BioSimon Sihang Luo is a political theorist whose work focuses on comparative political theory, contemporary political theory, and radicalism. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Indiana University, Bloomington.
Simon’s current book project investigates the multiple uses of the memories of the Cultural Revolution in theoretical debates in the contemporary Chinese intellectual sphere. By tracing the genealogy of Cultural Revolution memories in post-Mao China, the book project demonstrates how political actors holding different ideological positions make the Cultural Revolution a usable past as they articulate different visions of China’s political future. By so doing, the book project analyzes how the past is useful for democratic and antidemocratic politics in a rapidly changing society, and how narratives of a revolutionary historical event constitute a repertoire of political knowledge for the public sphere.
Simon has published scholarly articles about democratic theory and global encounters of ideas. In public writings in both English and Chinese, Simon has written about the history of political thought, political emotions, historical interpretations, labor politics, and the transnational dissemination of political knowledge.
Simon has taught multiple courses, in various roles, in political theory, Chinese politics, American politics, and ethics. At Stanford, Simon will continue to bring his research interests to the pressing issues in domestic and global politics of our age in his classroom, and offer courses related to political memories, citizenship, radical political theory, and the rise of China.
