About
As a senior researcher, I build multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary collaborations to deploy and study novel technologies in shared public spaces. Currently, I’m studying the opportunities and challenges generative AI poses for global democracy. I have also driven research on AI-augmented surveys and emerging spatial inequalities in AI usage that featured in the Microsoft New Future of Work report.
Previously, I led research on Project Eclipse, a deployment of 100+ low-cost air quality sensors in Chicago. Our work was published in leading venues across public health, environmental science, and computer science, served as the foundation of a data science-driven reporting series by Muckrock, WBEZ Chicago, and the Chicago Sun-Times, and became a case study for the World Bank / USC Annenberg Summer Institute.
