Psychology, UC Berkeley
Professor, Psychology, UC Berkeley Faculty Steering Committee Member; Kavli Center for Ethics, Science, and the Public; UC Berkeley

Jack L. Gallant's research program focuses on computational modeling of the human brain. These models accurately describe how the brain encodes information during complex naturalistic tasks, and they show how information about the external and internal worlds are mapped systematically across the surface of the cerebral cortex.

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.
