I am a Sr Principal Research Manager in the Collaborative Intelligence (opens in new tab) theme at Microsoft Research Cambridge (opens in new tab). I lead the Teachable AI Experience team (TAI X) which aims to innovate new human-AI interactions that bring us to a more inclusive society. I believe strongly that we must innovate the machine learning techniques that we use in conjunction with designing new types of experiences. Projects have included:
