Social scientist with expertise in AI, information science, and science & technology studies.
Working at the intersection of responsible AI, human-centered data science, and social sciences, I tackle the sociotechnical, organizational, and ethical challenges of doing AI.
I currently work as a Responsible AI (RAI) researcher at Microsoft via Kforce in Mihaela Vorvoreanu’s UX Research and Education (UXRE) team. In this role, I mostly focus on the emergent challenge of appropriate reliance on Generative AI (GenAI). I am also an RAI assessment lead and a redteamer for Microsoft’s Deployment Safety Board.
