Percy Liang
Associate Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, of Statistics
BioPercy Liang is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University (B.S. from MIT, 2004; Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, 2011). His two research goals are (i) to make machine learning more robust, fair, and interpretable; and (ii) to make computers easier to communicate with through natural language. His awards include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (2019), IJCAI Computers and Thought Award (2016), an NSF CAREER Award (2016), a Sloan Research Fellowship (2015), and a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship (2014).

Hsiao-Wen Liao
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy program of research aims to answer two broad questions: What factors contribute to long and meaningful lives? How do individual life experiences, particularly those that are personally significant and challenging, shape the pursuit of meaning across adulthood in diverse contexts? I address these questions from a functional approach to autobiographical memory. Specifically, my work has focused on (1) emotional memories, meaning-making and adult well-being, (2) developmental changes in motivation and its relation to autobiographical remembering, and (3) sociocultural factors that shape the remembering. My most recent research explores potential cognitive costs associated with the pursuit of meaning in diverse aging groups.

Oliver Lindblad Petersen
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Mathematics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research concerns mathematical problems arising in General Relativity. I am especially interested in the behaviour of solutions to wave equations close to lightlike hypersurfaces, such as Cauchy horizons and event horizons. This leads to singular and degenerate hyperbolic PDEs on Lorentzian spacetimes. My research has been applied (with I. Rácz) to prove rigidity theorems for vacuum spacetimes with a compact Cauchy horizon, dropping the analyticity assumption in classical works by Moncrief and Isenberg.

Andrei Linde
Harald Trap Friis Professor
BioWhat is the origin and the global structure of the universe?
For a long time, scientists believed that our universe was born in the big bang, as an expanding ball of fire. This scenario dramatically changed during the last 35 years. Now we think that initially the universe was rapidly inflating, being in an unstable energetic vacuum-like state. It became hot only later, when this vacuum-like state decayed. Quantum fluctuations produced during inflation are responsible for galaxy formation. In some places, these quantum fluctuations are so large that they can produce new rapidly expanding parts of the universe. This process makes the universe immortal and transforms it into a multiverse, a huge fractal consisting of many exponentially large parts with different laws of low-energy physics operating in each of them.
Professor Linde is one of the authors of inflationary theory and of the theory of an eternal inflationary multiverse. His work emphasizes the cosmological implications of string theory and supergravity.
Current areas of focus:
- Construction of realistic models of inflation based on supergravity and string theory
- Investigation of conceptual issues related to the theory of inflationary multiverse -
