Alexander Spangher
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioAlexander Spangher is a post-doctoral researcher advised by Daniel Ho, Sanmi Koyejo and Diyi Yang. His research focuses on modeling human decision-making in creative domains, especially in contexts where data is limited and rewards and goals are less clear. He is building out a new domain of learning, called emulation learning, with the goal of training the next generation of reasoning-oriented language models to be more proficient in these domains. His research has been used at technology organizations like OpenAI, Google and EleutherAI. He is especially passionate about helping journalists and has framed tasks and trained reasoning LLMs to help journalists find stories and sources, structure narratives and track information updates. These tools have been incorporated into newsrooms at the New York Times, Bloomberg and Stanford Big Local News, impacting thousands of journalists; and his work is also informing the next generation of journalistic education at USC Annenberg. His work has received numerous awards including two outstanding paper awards at EMNLP 2024, one spotlight award at ICML 2024, one outstanding paper award at NAACL 2022 and a best paper award at CJ2023; and he has been supported by a 4-year Bloomberg PhD Fellowship. His work is broad: in addition to his work in NLP and computational journalism, he has studied misinformation at Microsoft Research and collaborated with the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center to model plasma fusion processes.

Megan Sparrow
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Clinical Research / Women's Health - Sexual & Gender Minority Health, expected graduation Spring 2030
BioI am a medical student at Stanford University School of Medicine with a background in molecular biology and stem cell research. I received my B.S. in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology with a minor in Biomedical Research from UCLA, where I became interested in developmental biology and stem cell-based embryo models through my work in the Clark Lab. After graduation, I joined the Briganti Lab at UC San Diego as a Staff Research Associate and Lab Manager, studying the molecular mechanisms of dilated cardiomyopathy using iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Building on these experiences, my current interests center on women’s health, embryo and stem cell research, and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. In my personal time, you will find me at the beach, hiking, baking, or attempting to garden.
