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. At Cornell, I direct the Cornell Global AI Initiative—an interdisciplinary, university-wide effort to integrate global perspectives into the design, evaluation, and governance of AI technologies. I'm currently also a non-resident fellow at the Center for Democracy & Technology.
My research focuses on building safe and globally equitable AI systems. I combine human-centered methods, computational evaluations, and field studies to understand and improve how AI systems work across diverse cultural and socioeconomic contexts. My research spans three areas:
My research has been covered by The New Yorker, The Atlantic, MIT Technology Review, Fast Company, and Al Jazeera. My research is generously supported by NSF, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Infosys, and others. Before Cornell, I completed a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, where my dissertation received the William Chan Memorial Dissertation Award and the WAGS/ProQuest Innovation in Technology Award.
