David Millman
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioDavid Millman is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford Law School. He aspires to use law, advocacy, and public policy to help communities and the people in them, particularly by addressing inequalities, climate change, and our nation’s housing crisis. David has a wide range of legal, academic, political, and nonprofit experience ranging from being a zoning district author, a state sexual violence prevention nonprofit director, a student body president, and a candidate for local office. He aims to be a housing, community development, and civil rights attorney. His work has been featured in USA Today, AP News, Yahoo News, The Week, and many regional and local publications for advocacy around housing affordability, sexual violence prevention, local government, climate change, and food insecurity.
When he was 19 years old, David for local office in Hanover, NH to solve community issues around COVID-19 and the region's housing crisis. This effort turned into a multi-year campaign around reforming zoning laws and restoring civic participation. The exposure to local government, in combination with a long-standing fight against sexual violence, has led to a law degree at Stanford University.
He has presented work in front of town councils, state legislatures, and even the UK Parliament. While at Dartmouth College, he was the first-ever male recipient of Hannah T. Croasdale Award, which is “awarded each year to the member of the Senior Class who has made the most significant contribution to the quality of life for women at Dartmouth,” due to his longstanding commitment and work against sexual violence on campus. As Student Body President, he helped lead the campaign for the implementation of free teletherapy services on campus, establish a now-institutionalized campus food pantry, and design new campus bus routes for students to get home safely — all initiatives which continue to this day. Most recently, he completed a Master’s degree at the London School of Economics (LSE) in Local Economic Development, writing a dissertation on effective strategies around empowering the homelessness in Central London. -

Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
BioBio
Brando Miranda is a current Ph.D. Student at Stanford University under the supervision of Professor Sanmi Koyejo in the department of Computer Science. Previously he has been a graduate student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Research Assistant at MIT’s Center for Brain Minds and Machines (CBMM), and graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Miranda’s research interests lie in the field of meta-learning, foundation models for theorem proving, and human & brain inspired Artificial Intelligence (AI). Miranda completed his Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science under the supervision of Professor Tomaso Poggio – where he did research on Deep Learning Theory. Miranda has been the recipient of several awards, including Most Cited Paper Certificate awarded by International Journal of Automation & Computing (IJAC), two Honorable Mention with the Ford Foundation Fellowship, Computer Science Excellence Saburo Muroga Endowed Fellow, Stanford School of Engineering fellowship, and is currently an EDGE Scholar at Stanford University.
About me (Informal)
I am a scientist and an engineer that is interested in moving forward the powerful and beautiful field of A.I. closer to true Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). I believe an important direction is understanding how to combine cognitive and neuro-inspired models, specially investigating how reasoning and learning work together. In addition, I also believe being able to adapt to new tasks using prior experience and knowledge is crucial for AGI to occur. Consequently, I decided to pursue a Ph.D in AI and machine learning. I currently work on meta-learning and machine learning (ML) for Theorem Proving (TP) at Stanford University. -
