Dr. Todd P. Coleman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, and by courtesy, Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He received B.S. degrees in electrical engineering (summa cum laude), as well as computer engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Michigan. He received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from MIT in electrical engineering and computer science. He did postdoctoral studies at MIT and Mass General Hospital in quantitative neuroscience.
Dr. Tobias Lanz is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection and the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford. His research focuses on B cell biology in neuroimmunological diseases and rheumatic diseases with neurological manifestations. He uses high-throughput screening technologies, and methods from structural and cell biology to identify new autoantigens and to understand how certain self-reactive B cells escape tolerance mechanisms.
Dr. Tobias Gerstenberg leads the Causality in Cognition Lab (http://cicl.stanford.edu). The CiCL studies the role of causality in our understanding of the world, and of each other. In their research, they formalize people’s mental models as computational models that yield quantitative predictions about a wide range of situations. To test these predictions, the lab uses a combination of large-scale online experiments, interactive experiments in the lab, and eye-tracking experiments.
