I am an Assistant Professor in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science where I advise students in Information Science and Computer Science. I'm currently also a non-resident fellow at the Center for Democracy & Technology.
I design, build, and evaluate Globally Equitable AI technologies that improve socioeconomic outcomes for marginalized communities. My work integrates human-centered methods, computational audits, and field evaluations to ensure that AI systems are safe, inclusive, and grounded in local contexts. My research program advances three interconnected thrusts:
More broadly, my research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), ICT for Development (ICTD), Human-Centered AI (HAI), and Social Computing. At Cornell, I also lead the Cornell Global AI Initiative—an interdisciplinary, university-wide effort to integrate global perspectives into the design, evaluation, and governance of AI technologies. 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, and others. Recent News
