I am an Assistant Professor at the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science where I advise students in Information Science and Computer Science. I also lead the Cornell Global AI Initiative—an interdisciplinary, university-wide effort to integrate global perspectives into the design, development, evaluation, and governance of AI technologies.
My research aims to design, build, and evaluate Globally Equitable AI technologies to improve socioeconomic outcomes for historically marginalized communities. My research program focuses on addressing three pressing and high-impact problems: (1) Examining and combating misinformation and propaganda in low-income communities (2) Understanding and mitigating ableism for disabled people (3) Designing and evaluating responsible AI technologies in the Global South. More broadly, my research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), ICT & Development (ICTD), Human-Centered AI (HAI), and Social Computing. Before Cornell, I completed a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, where my dissertation was recognized with the William Chan Memorial Dissertation Award and the WAGS/ProQuest Innovation in Technology Award. My research is generously supported by Microsoft, Google, Meta, Infosys, USAID, and others. Recent News
