I’m an Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Computer Science in the Department of Philosophy and in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, where I am a core member of the Institute for Experiential AI and the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks. I co-founded the Intelligence, Data, Ethics and Society (IDEAS) summer institute for undergraduate students to both broaden participation in and advance a cross-disciplinary approach towards the field of responsible AI.
In addition to my position at Northeastern, I’m currently a visiting AI fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. I’m part of the inaugural cohort of Schmidt Futures AI2050 Early Career Fellows, and the 2020-21 Council Fellow on the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Data Policy.
