Stefano Santo Sabato
Visiting Research Scientist, Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA)
Visiting Scholar, EnglishBioStefano Santo Sabato, PhD is an AI researcher and serial entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience spanning applied artificial intelligence, collaborative virtual environments (CVE), and large-scale digital knowledge systems. Over the course of his career, he has led and contributed to more than 100 AI projects across the United States and Europe, working at the intersection of advanced technology, human-centered design, and organizational infrastructure.
Trained as a computer scientist and holding a PhD in Software Engineering, Stefano’s early academic work focused on collaborative virtual environments, intelligent interaction, and the design of systems that support shared cognition and coordination in complex digital spaces. As a university researcher and professor in Italy, he developed a strong research foundation in applied AI and distributed collaborative systems, contributing to the evolution of human-computer interaction in networked environments.
In parallel with his academic work, Stefano played a role in national digital transformation efforts as a member of the Italian Digital Agenda Task Force, where he contributed to strategic initiatives including the development of frameworks for digital identity and modern public digital infrastructure.
Today, Stefano is affiliated with Stanford University as a Visiting Research Scientist, engaging with interdisciplinary research in spatial, textual, and human-centered AI. His work emphasizes the importance of top-down, multidisciplinary approaches to AI design—grounded in the idea that intelligence must be embedded within systems that preserve context, continuity, and institutional memory.
He is also the founder and CEO of Fyberloom, a San Francisco-based AI company building next-generation infrastructure for organizational knowledge mapping. Drawing from his long-standing research interests in collaboration, context, and intelligent systems, Stefano’s work explores how enterprises can move beyond fragmented information toward continuously evolving, navigable knowledge environments.
Outside of research and technology, Stefano is an avid guitarist, with a long-standing interest in the cultural dimensions of memory, storytelling, and human expression. -

Serena Sanulli
Assistant Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the organizing principles of the genome and how these principles regulate cell identity and developmental switches. We combine Biochemistry and Biophysical methods such as NMR and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange-MS with Cell Biology, and Genetics to explore genome organization across length and time scales and understand how cells leverage the diverse biophysical properties of chromatin to regulate genome function.

Aliya Saperstein
Benjamin Scott Crocker Professor of Human Biology
BioProfessor Saperstein received her B.A. in Sociology from the University of Washington and her Ph.D. in Sociology and Demography from the University of California-Berkeley. In 2016, she received the Early Achievement Award from the Population Association of America. She has also been a Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and Sciences Po (Paris).
Her research focuses on the social processes through which people come to perceive, name, and deploy seemingly immutable categorical differences —such as race and sex—and their consequences for explaining, and reinforcing, social inequality. Her current research projects explore several strands of this subject, including:
1) The implications of methodological decisions, especially the measurement of race/ethnicity and sex/gender in surveys, for studies of stratification and health disparities.
2) The relationship between individual-level category fluidity or ambiguity and the maintenance of group boundaries, racial stereotypes, and hierarchies.
This research has been published for social science audiences in the American Journal of Sociology, the Annual Review of Sociology, Demography, Ethnic & Racial Studies, and Gender & Society, among other venues, and for general science audiences in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and PLoS One. It also has been recognized with multiple article awards, and gained attention from national media outlets, including NPR and The Colbert Report. -
