Owens Huang
Affiliate, Music
BioOwens Huang began his musical journey during the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020. In his youth, adventurous backpacking trips through countries such as India and Tibet profoundly shaped his musical expression and life philosophy. These explorations infused his compositions with introspective themes and a distinctive blend of Eastern artistic elements, seamlessly interwoven with classical, jazz, and metal influences.
Drawing inspiration from his role as a hedge fund manager, Huang engages with the dynamic realms of finance and global events, transforming them into creative works that weave together themes of Asian history, culture, philosophy, geopolitics, and market dynamics. In 2023, he premiered his first sonata, Place of Origins, at Taiwan’s National Recital Hall. In 2024, he debuted The Silicon Island in Taiwan, followed by Universal Connection in Mountain View, California. In 2025, he spoke at the CLSA Japan Forum and hosted his first concert in Tokyo. To date, Huang has published 18 works on major music streaming platforms.
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is actively involved in the artistic, technology, and financial communities and serves on the board of the American Composers Forum. Guided by a vision of connection, Huang seeks to build collaborations across science, technology, and global finance, using music as a catalyst for dialogue and unity. -

Caitlin Nicole Hubbard
Assistant Professor of English
BioCaitlin Hubbard is a scholar of early modern theater and performance history, specializing in Restoration drama, the seventeenth-century court masque, and Shakespeare.
Her research focuses on the way that the practicalities and materiality of the stage space affect dramatic literature at the level of form. Her current book project, Reading Between the Scenes: Spectacle as Action and Idea in Early Modern English Theater, analyzes how the evolution of theater architecture and set design throughout the seventeenth-century, including the move from outdoor to indoor theaters and the introduction of changeable scenery, formally restructured both the craft of playwrighting and the experience of reading drama.
Courses she teaches include The Shakespearean Stage, in which students take on the roles and recreate the documents used by an early modern playing company to experience how performance transforms text, and What Women Want in Medieval and Renaissance Literature, which recenters female voices and female desire in the canon of early English literature. -
Wray Huestis
Professor of Chemistry, Emerita
BioProfessor Wray Huestis’ research concerns the molecular mechanisms whereby cells control their shape, motility, deformability and the structural integrity of their membranes. Metabolic control of interprotein and protein-lipid interactions is studied by a variety of biochemical, spectroscopic and radiochemical techniques, including fluorescence and EPR spectrometry, autoradiography and electron microscopy. The role of lipid metabolism and transport in regulating the fluid dynamics of cell suspensions (red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes) is examined using circulating cells and cells grown in culture. Cell-cell and cell-liposome interactions are studied using model membrane systems with widely differing physical properties. Complexes of liposomes and encapsulated viruses are used as selective vectors to deliver water-soluble compounds across the membranes of intact cells. The particular projects described in the listed publications have as a common goal an understanding of the molecular workings of the cell membrane.

Jackelyn Hwang
Associate Professor of Sociology
BioJackelyn Hwang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Director of the Changing Cities Research Lab. Jackelyn’s main research interests are in the fields of urban sociology, race and ethnicity, immigration, and inequality. In particular, her research uses innovative data, measures, and methods to answer: how do neighborhood-level dynamics that are typically racialized drive changes in US residential segregation? Her projects focus on how residential sorting mechanisms shape how gentrification unfolds over time and space, the consequences of gentrification on residential displacement, and developing data and measurement infrastructures for improving measures of gentrification, including developing automated methods using computer vision to measure visible neighborhood conditions and their changes over time from Google Street View imagery. By improving our understanding of urban change and segregation, her work aims to advance policy solutions that promote racial equity as cities change.
Jackelyn received her B.A.S. in Sociology and Mathematics from Stanford University and her Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Policy from Harvard University. After completing her Ph.D., she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. Her research has been supported by the American Sociological Association, the Joint Center for Housing Studies, the National Science Foundation, among others. Her work has appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, City & Community, Demography, Social Forces, Sociological Methods and Research, Sociological Methodology, and Urban Affairs Review, and other academic journals.
