Research
My interests broadly lie in the field of trustworthy machine learning (ML). Specifically, I focus on algorithmic transparency and its effects on decision-making in human-machine teams. I build tools for routing decision-makers to appropriate forms of decision support and for capturing how AI systems are used in decision-making contexts all over the world.
