My research sits at the intersection of Machine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction. I evaluate and mitigate biases in AI using applied Machine Learning.
Outside the lab, I run cyber-safety and digital-literacy workshops for girls from underrepresented backgrounds, and mentor undergraduates on Ph.D. prep through UCSD’s STARS program.
