Jacy Reese Anthis
Graduate, Computer Science
BioJacy Anthis is a sociologist and statistician researching machine learning and human-AI interaction, particularly the rise of "digital minds" and how humanity can work together with highly capable AI systems. His research has been published in top academic venues, such as CHI, HRI, and NeurIPS, and featured in global media outlets, such as Vox, Forbes, and The Guardian. Anthis has presented his work at conferences and seminars in over 20 countries. He is a co-founder of the nonprofit research organization Sentience Institute, a PhD candidate at the University of Chicago, and currently a visiting scholar at the Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) at Stanford University.

Rika Antonova
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and a recipient of the NSF/CRA Computing Innovation Fellowship. Currently, I work at the Interactive Perception and Robot Learning (IPRL) lab headed by Jeannette Bohg. In the summer of 2024, I will be transitioning to a faculty position at the University of Cambridge.
I completed my PhD work on data-efficient simulation-to-reality transfer at the Robotics, Perception and Learning lab at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden), working in the group headed by Danica Kragic. During my PhD, I also had an opportunity to intern at NVIDIA Robotics (Seattle, USA) and Microsoft Research (Cambridge, UK).
Previously, I was a Masters student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, developing data-efficient approaches for learning controllers for bipedal locomotion (with Akshara Rai and Chris Atkeson). During my time at CMU, my MS advisor was Emma Brunskill, and in her group I also worked on developing reinforcement learning algorithms for education.
Prior to that, I was a software engineer at Google, first in the Search Personalization group and then in the Character Recognition team (developing open-source OCR engine Tesseract).
