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 am also the 2020-21 Council Fellow on the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Data Policy.

Note: I’m always looking to work with students who are passionate about the research topics that I work on. I am currently accepting applications for undergraduate and graduate research assistants, and summer interns for my project, “Responsible Research and Innovation in the Age of Big Data“. Contact me if you are interested in joining my research group.

- My article, “Diversity in sociotechnical machine learning systems”, (with Maria De-Arteaga), is now out in Big Data & Society, and it’s open access.
- I’m excited to share the application portal for the Intelligence, Data, Ethics, And Society (IDEAS) Summer Program–a week-long, expenses-paid program for undergraduate students on ethics, politics & social impacts of AI and data science. We are particularly excited to welcome students from historically underrepresented and marginalized communities. Please share!
- I’m going to be at UC Berkeley for most of Jun 27 – Aug 5, 2022 as a long-term participant at Simons Institute’s Summer Cluster: Interpretable Machine Learning. Please reach out if you’re in the area.
- I received a seedling grant from the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks at Northeastern for a project on responsible exploration and data sharing in epistemic networks.
- I have two open-access articles on algorithmic fairness out in Philosophy Compass and Canadian Journal of Philosophy.
- We have received a grant from Block Center for Technology & Society at Carnegie Mellon University for our project “An Integrated Framework for Studying and Regulating Human-AI Hybrid Decision-Making Systems” (co-PIs Zack Lipton, David Danks).
