Tolani Britton

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
School of Education, UC Berkeley

Tolani Britton uses quasi-experimental methods to explore the impact of policies on students’ transition from secondary school to higher education, as well as access and retention in higher education. Recent work explores whether the disproportionate increase in incarceration of Black males for drug possessions and manufacture increased gaps in college enrollment rates by race and gender over two time periods- after the passage of the Anti-Drug Act from 1986 - 1993 and after the passage of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act from 1995 - 2000.

Ronald Cohen

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
Chemistry, Earth and Planetary Science, UC Berkeley
Destinguised Professor in the Departments of Chemistry, and of Earth and Planetary Science

Ronald Cohen's lab research is focused on understanding basic processes that impact air quality and climate. Broadly, the lab studies how nitrogen moves through and between the atmosphere and biosphere, what the urban atmosphere can tell us about urban metabolism, formation of atmospheric aerosols as well as clouds, and how to build new techniques and improve existing ones for studying these important atmospheric processes.

Perry de Valpine

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
Environmental Science, Policy, and Management; UC Berkeley
Professor; Environmental Science, Policy, and Management; UC Berkeley

Perry de Valpine is a mathematical and statistical ecologist. He leads the development of a computational statistics programming system called NIMBLE. NIMBLE facilitates the implementation and sharing of algorithms, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo and sequential Monte Carlo, that can operate on general model structures. In ecology, his work has primarily addressed questions about ecological population dynamics with a focus on how to estimate realistic models from noisy data to estimate abundance, density feedbacks,...

Anca Dragan

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), UC Berkeley
Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), UC Berkeley Founder, Interactive Autonomy and Collaborative Technologies Laboratory (InterACT Lab) Anca Dragan's goal is to enable robots to work with, around, and in support of people. She runs the InterACT Lab, which focuses on algorithms for human-robot interaction - algorithms that move beyond the robot's function in isolation, and generate robot behavior that also accounts for interaction and coordination with end-users.
