Hi! I am an Assistant Teaching Professor at the Northeastern University Khoury College of Computer Sciences in Oakland! My research is focused on cybersecurity, ethics, social bias in machine learning, and teaching ethical computing. I strongly believe that the most efficient path to ethical tech is to have computer/data scientists who reflect the population that their products are designed to affect. I love teaching and working with students, so let me know if you have something you’d like to work on!
