I am an Assistant Professor at Cornell Tech and in the Department of Information Science at Cornell University. I will be admitting PhD students this coming admissions cycle. If you are interested, please apply directly to the program and list my name on your application. If you are interested in working together, please read this.
My research is on responsible AI. My research statement (Spring 2024). Some themes I am interested in include:
- AI fairness (FAccT 2022, ICCV 2023, PNAS 2025, ACL 2025): how can we move beyond one-size-fits-all, mathematically convenient notions of fairness while still being tractable?
- Evaluation (ICML 2021, Patterns 2024, ICML Position 2025): how can we measure multi-faceted constructs in generative AI, like reasoning and fairness, and grapple with the trade-offs between incommensurate values?
- Societal impacts of AI (JRC 2023, Nature Machine Intelligence 2025): what are the effects of AI on aspects of humanity such as our information ecosystem and power asymmetries?
I was a postdoc at Stanford University HAI, earned my PhD in Computer Science at Princeton University advised by Olga Russakovsky, and received a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. I've received the NSF GRFP, EECS Rising Stars, Siebel Scholarship, and Microsoft AI & Society Fellowship, and have interned at Microsoft Research and Arthur AI.
