Advising Fellows

• B.S. Class of 2025; M.S. Class of 2026
• Concentration: Neuroscience

Hi! My name is Justin, and I am a coterm studying CS on the AI track. I recently graduated with a BS in SymSys concentrating in neuroscience. I'm particularly interested in vision neuroscience​, and I've been a research assistant in the Vision Perception and Neuroscience Lab for the last three years. I am currently applying to law school. I'd love to talk with you about course recommendations, career paths, and the many merits of SymSys. Looking forward to meeting you!

• Class of 2026; M.S. Class of 2027
• Concentration: Human-Centered AI

Hi! I’m Kristine, and I’m a senior from Michigan, concentrating in Human-Centered AI, minoring in creative writing, and coterming in CS (HCI.) I’m interested in the intersection of design, technology, psychology, and business. In my free time, you’ll most likely find me reading, listening to music, writing, watching shows, or going to cafes and thrifting with friends. Come talk to me about why I chose SymSys, classes, creative writing, music, studying abroad (I studied abroad at Oxford!), or anything else, SymSys-related or otherwise!

• Class of 2026, MS Class of 2027
• Concentration: Human-Centered AI

Hey! I’m Hoang, a senior from Minnesota, and I’m a SymSys undergrad (HCAI track) and CS Coterm (AI Track). I’m interested in applying CS to fields like Linguistics (I’m also a Spanish minor) and Education. I’ve done research at the Language and Cognition Lab along with the Social Interaction Lab and have worked as a SWE over the summers. Outside of school and work, I’m really into basketball and tennis, and if I have time I also love to read. Feel free to reach out about course plans, research opportunities, book recs, or anything else (SymSys-related or not)!
 

• B.S. Class of 2025; M.A. Class of 2026
• Concentration: Human-Computer Interaction

Hello! I’m Rebecca, a 5th year student from Hemet, CA. I did my undergraduate degree in Symbolic Systems, with a concentration in HCI, and a minor in Italian. Now I’m working on my Master’s degree in the Linguistics department—I’m really interested in how mental health disorders impact language use, and I’m writing my M.A. thesis about that. During my undergrad, I was a research assistant in the Heller Biology Lab and the Language and Cognition Lab, a Frosh RA for 2 years, a Peer Advisor in the DLCL, and a SWE intern at Pinterest. SymSys is the reason I applied to Stanford, and I’m really excited to share my love for this department to the student body through my role as an advising fellow!! 

• Class of 2026
• Concentration: Human-Centered AI

Hi! My name is Tracy, a senior from Houston, TX, and I’m concentrating in Human-Centered AI and coterming in CS AI. I’m interested in designing and building human-centered technology to increase equity, accessibility, and trust & safety. Currently, I’m writing an honors thesis on applying generative AI and mixed-initiative interaction in the accessibility space. In my free time, I love to paint, play volleyball, read, and do movie & game nights with friends. Come and chat about why I chose SymSys (after much back-and-forth with design & other similar majors), classes, HCI research, studying abroad (I went to Beijing!), or anything SymSys-related!

• Class of 2026
• Concentration: Cognitive Science

Hi! I am Sunny, a senior from Beijing, China. I am an undergraduate student in Symbolic Systems and a Computer Science coterm. I am interested in human and machine cognition and passionate about building safe and interpretable AI systems. In my free time, I love to read, run, hike, and play racquet sports.
