About Me
I am a fifth year PhD student in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University. My reserach focuses on building scalable information retrieval and natural language processing systems, and making machine learning models trustworthy and fair.
I work with Dr. Lee Giles and Dr. Shomir Wilson in analyzing and simplifying privacy policies at scale. I designed and developed PrivaSeer, a one-of-a-kind search engine indexed on over 3.5 million privacy policies.
I work on making machine learning models fair and trustworthy. I am interested in understanding the biases in machine learning models and how to mitigate them.
