James K. Chen
Jauch Professor and Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology, of Developmental Biology and of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory combines chemistry and developmental biology to investigate the molecular events that regulate embryonic patterning, tumorigenesis, and sperm development. We are currently using genetic and small-molecule approaches to study the molecular mechanisms that sustain stem-like cancer cells or promote spermiogenesis. We are also developing new technologies for optically controlling developmental signaling proteins.

Lanhee Chen
Hoover Research Fellow, HOOVER RESEARCH
BioLanhee J. Chen, Ph.D. is the David and Diane Steffy Fellow in American Public Policy Studies at the Hoover Institution, Director of Domestic Policy Studies in the Public Policy Program, and an Affiliate of the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. He is also a presidentially-appointed and Senate-confirmed member of the independent and bipartisan Social Security Advisory Board.
Chen is a veteran of several high-profile U.S. political campaigns and served as policy director for Governor Mitt Romney’s 2012 bid for the presidency. In that role, he was Romney’s chief policy adviser; a senior strategist on the campaign; and the person responsible for developing the campaign’s domestic and foreign policy. Previously, Chen served as a senior appointee at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the George W. Bush Administration, in private law practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, and has advised numerous other presidential, gubernatorial, and congressional campaigns.
Chen earned his Ph.D. and A.M. in political science from Harvard University, his J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School, and his A.B. magna cum laude in government from Harvard College. -

Xiaoke Chen
Associate Professor of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to understand how brain circuits mediate motivated behaviors and how maladaptive changes in these circuits cause mood disorders. To achieve this goal, we focus on studying the neural circuits for pain and addiction, as both trigger highly motivated behaviors, whereas, transitioning from acute to chronic pain or from recreational to compulsive drug use involves maladaptive changes of the underlying neuronal circuitry.

Yunwei Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Economics
BioYunwei Chen is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, affiliated with the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. She is also a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Stanford Impact Labs and a Global Health Postdoctoral Affiliate with the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health.
Her academic training is in global health economics. Prior to joining Stanford, she earned a PhD in Health Policy and Management (Economics Track) from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024.
Her research explores innovative solutions for effective delivery of public health interventions in resource-limited settings through rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental designs. Her current research agenda is centered on integrating digital health technologies to develop comprehensive and tailored interventions for children and mothers living in resource-limited settings during crucial developmental stages, aiming for both effectiveness and scalability. -
David Cheriton
Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus
BioCheriton's research includes the areas of high-performance distributed systems, and high-speed computer communication with a particular interest in protocol design. He leads the Distributed Systems Group in the TRIAD project, focused on understanding and solving problems with the Internet architecture. He has also been teaching and writing about object-oriented programming, building on his experience with OOP in systems building.

Christopher Chidsey
Associate Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Chidsey group research interest is to build the chemical base for molecular electronics. To accomplish this, we synthesize the molecular and nanoscopic systems, build the analytical tools and develop the theoretical understanding with which to study electron transfer between electrodes and among redox species through insulating molecular bridges

Jennifer Chien
Postdoctoral Scholar, Philosophy
BioJennifer Chien earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego, and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Wellesley College. They were a recipient of the Graduate Fellowship for STEM Diversity. Jennifer is an interdisciplinary researcher focused on preserving user agency across AI/ML pipelines by linking technical decisions with their social consequences. Their work connects technical decisions with social and societal consequences to characterize, measure, and mitigate disparities in autonomy and support safer, more responsible AI. This includes exploring instrumental, cognitive and affective, and epistemic forms of agency. At UCSD, they served as President of Graduate Women in Computing, leading mentorship, outreach, and community-building initiatives and received the Doctoral Awards for Contributions to Diversity and to Service and Leadership, as well as the Xilinx Women in Technology University Grant. Jennifer is currently an Embedded Ethics Fellow in partnership with HAI and the Computer Science department.

Ani Chiti
Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
BioI am a Brinson Prize Fellow at Stanford University, primarily interested in the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the formation of heavy elements, the early Milky Way, and local dynamical tracers of dark matter. I observe and characterize nearby stars and galaxies that formed at early times to understand these topics, in an approach known as "Near-field cosmology" or "Galactic archaeology".
Before joining Stanford, I was the inaugural Brinson Prize Fellow in Observational Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. I obtained a PhD in Physics from MIT in 2021, and received bachelor's degrees in Physics and Mathematics from Cornell University in 2014. -

Hongchan Choi
Affiliate, Music
BioAs a musician/engineer, Hongchan strives to push boundaries of the open web platform for music technology.
He studied with Jonathan Berger, Chris Chafe, and Ge Wang for my doctoral research at CCRMA between 2010 and 2014. After completing the doctoral thesis 《Collaborative Musicking on the Web》 in 2014, Hongchan joined Google Chrome where he currently leads various web music technology projects as a Technical Lead and Manager.
Outside of Google, he serves as a co-chair of W3C Audio Working Group driving a collective effort of multiple industry professionals to design advanced audio capabilities for the web platform. Hongchan also continues to engage with academia as an Adjunct Professor at CCRMA, Stanford university. -

Angele Christin
Associate Professor of Communication, by courtesy, of Sociology and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAngèle Christin studies the social and cultural impact of algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Her award-winning book, Metrics at Work: Journalism and the Contested Meaning of Algorithms (Princeton University Press, 2020) examined the dramatic transformations of journalism with the rise of social media platforms, metrics, and algorithms. Drawing on ethnographic methods, Angèle compared how American and French journalists made sense of traffic numbers, which in turn came with distinct effects on the production of news in the two countries.
Her most recent project examines the paradoxes of algorithmic labor through a study of influencers and influencer marketing on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
