Research Scientist at Sony AI
About Me
I am a Research Scientist on Sony AI's AI Ethics team.
I am also a Visiting Scholar at University of Colorado Boulder.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate in Information Science at CU Boulder researching identity representations in technical infrastructures. I graduted with my PhD in Information Science at CU Boulder, where I was supported by a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship.
I was advised by Jed Brubaker in the Identity Lab. I have conducted consulting work with Twitch's policy team and Microsoft's Responsible AI. I have also interned with Google's Ethical AI team and Meta's Community Integrity team.
Broadly, I am interested in AI ethics and responsible AI, data curation, identity theory, infrastructure studies, and digital identity.
I focus primarily on machine learning infrastructures that operationalize human identity characteristics, like gender and race.
In particular, I explore the real-world implications of machine learning for those with historically marginalized identities.
PDFs of my work can be found on my Research page. Non-publication specific projects can be found under the Projects tab. This includes the HCI Gender Guidelines and my Prelim Reading List documentation.
