Eitan Yaffe
Affiliate, Medicine - Med/Infectious Diseases
BioDr. Eitan Yaffe is a computational biologist studying the evolution of natural microbial communities under selective pressures, such as antibiotics. He is currently a research associate in the lab of Dr. David Relman at Stanford University, where he develops experimental and computational approaches to investigate strain dynamics, horizontal gene transfer, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in the human microbiome.
Dr. Yaffe holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he focused on epigenetics and chromatin folding. He earned his MSc in Computer Science with a specialization in the 3D structure of protein channels, and his BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. -
Lisa Yamada
Software Developer 2, SoM - CNC - Cracking the Neural Code
BioLisa Yamada is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, working with Professor Paul Nuyujukian in the Brain Interfacing Laboratory at Stanford University. She is interested in applying data science and engineering tools for medical applications towards higher quality and more equitable care. As a computational neuroscientist and clinical research coordinator, she is currently investigating quantitative measures for seizure analyses using human neuroelectrophysiology data (e.g., intracortical EEGs of participants with refractory epilepsy). She graduated from Trinity College (Hartford, CT) with BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and earned her MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities like hiking.

Daniel Yamins
Associate Professor of Psychology and of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab's research lies at intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, psychology and large-scale data analysis. It is founded on two mutually reinforcing hypotheses:
H1. By studying how the brain solves computational challenges, we can learn to build better artificial intelligence algorithms.
H2. Through improving artificial intelligence algorithms, we'll discover better models of how the brain works.
We investigate these hypotheses using techniques from computational modeling and artificial intelligence, high-throughput neurophysiology, functional brain imaging, behavioral psychophysics, and large-scale data analysis. -
Haoxue Yan
Lecturer
BioHaoxue ("How-sh-ew-eh", she/her) is a Lecturer in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). Though Haoxue is trained in metallurgy in her graduate studies, she constantly seeks to expand her knowledge base so that she can make materials science interesting, relevant, and approachable for her students. In her classroom, Haoxue is committed to fostering an inclusive and engaging environment that promotes a sense of curiosity and life-long learning in her students as they grow into observant and critical thinkers.

Ryan Yan Yan
Ph.D. Student in Psychology, admitted Autumn 2022
Master of Arts Student in Psychology, admitted Summer 2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in value computation and representation in the brain, as well as the individual differences in this process in healthy people and people with mood disorders. I am also interested in how reward processing interplays with subjective feeling states such as mood and motivation.

Terrance Yan
Affiliate, School of Medicine - Biomedical Ethics
BioTerrance Yan is the music director and conductor of the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and the Infinite Philharmonic, an ensemble he co-founded with his colleagues at Apple. He has also conducted orchestras including the Arkansas Symphony, the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra, and the Collegium Musicum of New York.
Terrance’s creative endeavors span a wide range of collaborative and socially engaged projects, including Violins of Hope with luthier Avshi Weinstein, Immunity at Stanford with cellist Joshua Roman, and the annual Stanford Anatomical Gift Program Memorial Service.
Terrance is a member of the International Conductors Guild. He has served as a conducting fellow at numerous music festivals and masterclasses, studying with distinguished conductors such as John Farrer, Geoffrey Robson, Julius Williams, Diane Wittry, Markand Thakar, and Donald Portnoy. Alongside his artistic career, he maintains a parallel path in the tech industry. He holds a Master of Music degree from San Francisco State University, an MBA from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and an MS in Information Systems from Boston University. -
Sylvia Yanagisako
Edward Clark Crossett Professor of Humanistic Studies, Emerita
BioSylvia Yanagisako is the Edward Clark Crossett Professor of Humanistic Studies and Professor of Anthropology, Emerita. From 2023-2026 she will be Centennial Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics. Her research and publications have focused on the cultural dynamics of kinship, gender, work and capitalism. She has also written about the orthodox configuration of the discipline of anthropology in the U.S.
Professor Yanagisako’s latest book, Fabricating Transnational Capitalism: a Collaborative Ethnography of Italian-Chinese Global Fashion (Duke University Press, 2019), co-authored with Lisa Rofel, analyzes the transnational business relations forged by Italian and Chinese textile and garment manufacturers . This book builds on her monograph (Producing Culture and Capital (Princeton University Press), which examines the cultural processes through which a technologically-advanced, Italian manufacturing industry was produced. Professor Yanagisako is currently conducting research on sea level rise, seashore management and family legacies in Hawai’i.
