Judith Ellen Fan
Assistant Professor of Psychology, by courtesy, of Education and of Computer Science
BioI direct the Cognitive Tools Lab (https://cogtoolslab.github.io/) at Stanford University. Our lab aims to reverse engineer the human cognitive toolkit—in particular, how people use physical representations of thought to learn, communicate, and solve problems. Toward this end, we use a combination of approaches from cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to achieve deeper understanding of quintessentially human ways of thinking and imagining. Our broader goal is to leverage such scientific understanding of human cognition to guide the development of technologies that augment human agency and creativity.

Ke 'Kay' Fang
Ph.D. Student in Psychology, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am a PhD student in the Cognitive Science Area of the Department of Psychology. My research focuses on computational approaches to understanding how distributed individual minds give rise to emergent collective phenomena, including cooperation, norms, and polarization. Before Stanford, I got my master’s degree at New York University, where I worked on topics in social psychology. Prior to that, I received my bachelor’s degree in Management from Lanzhou University in China.
