I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology I direct the People, AI and Robotics (PAIR) group. I am also a Sr. Research Scientist at Nvidia.

I earned a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and completed a postdoc at Stanford. My current research focuses on machine learning algorithms for perception and control in robotics.

I am the Director of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at New York City's Office of Technology and Innovation. I am responsible for work related to the city's AI Action Plan, being New York City's public commitment to lead the responsible use of innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology, particularly at the level of local governments. I bring my years of experience in global AI governance and AI risk management to the role, having previously founded Responsible AI LLC, a startup, and expertise in ML for financial services and academic research.

I remain active in academic research and am published in leading venues. I am currently an Ethics Chair of the NeurIPS machine learning conference and Area Chair for the ACM FAccT conference on Fairness, Accountability and Transparency.
