Honglei Xun
Affiliate, Jasper Ridge
BioI am a California Naturalist, Midpeninsula docent, and lifelong learner with a background in finance and product management. I came to the U.S. as an international student and later built a career in technology. Over time, I felt drawn back to ecology—particularly field observation, plant–fungus relationships, and the natural and cultural history of landscapes.
I am taking courses at Jasper Ridge to train my eye, ground my understanding in science, and learn directly from living systems. I am especially interested in how ecological knowledge can be translated into meaningful public interpretation, so that people without formal science backgrounds feel welcomed into nature.
I hope to be known as someone who listens closely to the land, learns carefully, and shares knowledge in a way that is accessible, thoughtful, and rooted in place. -

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.
