About

I’m a data scientist who does interdisciplinary research on responsible AI and helps data science teams understand their black-box models using explainable AI methods. Lately, I have also taken on new responsibilities in evaluating large language models: including curating/managing evaluation datasets, researching evaluation methods (both human and automatic), and detecting hallucinations.

I excel at bringing a humanistic perspective to technical issues while also having the skills to implement technical solutions that take social values into account. My research has won best paper awards at both FAccT and the Philosophy of Science Association. I have served multiple times on the FAccT program committee and am an area chair for FAccT 2024. I also curate a weekly newsletter that links to the latest AI ethics news.

Prior to this, I was a technical writer for a variety of software products, ranging from MLOps to REST APIs to complicated enterprise GUIs. An even longer time ago, I got a PhD in philosophy after stints in computer vision and physics.

I’m currently based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and you can contact me at [my first name]@fastmail.com.
