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. -

Tatiana Monserrat Miranda-Benavides
Ph.D. Student in Iberian & Latin American Cultures, admitted Autumn 2025
Ph.D. Minor, PhilosophyBioResearch traces continuities between early modern Iberian literature and twentieth-century Latin American literature, using philosophy as a methodological framework. Past work has moved across ethics, philosophy of language, and rhetoric, applied to a range of texts spanning the medieval and early modern Iberian periods through the modern Latin American novel.

Pardis Miri
Basic Life Research Scientist, Genetics
BioPardis Miri, PhD, is a Research Scientist and former Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University, where she develops technology aimed at improving mental well-being. She holds a PhD in Computer Science and has extensive training in affective science under Professor James J. Gross. Pardis leads a multidisciplinary team (http://wehab.stanford.edu
) conducting clinical and real-world studies to assess how wearable technologies can reduce stress and enhance glymphatic flow in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients.
During her postdoctoral work, Pardis served as the principal investigator of FAR, a multi-disciplinary project to design, build, and evaluate an end-to-end wearable system for children with emotion dysregulation, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. FAR aims to support more adaptive emotion-regulation strategies through a combination of systems design and behavioral research.
Pardis is advised by Professors Michael Snyder, Keith Marzullo, and James J. Gross, and collaborates with Professor Antonio Hardan of the Stanford School of Medicine on research involving children with autism spectrum disorder. -
