Assistant Professor, Penn State IST
I study how data and AI impact communities.
My current work is focused on helping communities respond to new platforms and AI systems, while designing future AI systems that are more community-centered, accountable, and equitable. I do this through co-research with communities, building and evaluating new tools, and advocating for legal and policy approaches I believe will help make a future that works.
