About Me

I am a senior PhD student at Northeastern University working with Dr. Jennifer Dy in the Signal Processing, Imaging, Reasoning, and Learning group (SPIRAL). Prior to NEU, I completed my B.S. in Computer Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). My primary research interests are at the intersection of uncertainty quantification, subgroup discovery and fairness in machine learning, with an application to medical imaging (skin lesion classification). I examine how fair data practices and the creation of new fairness evaluation tools can impact outcomes for everyday people.
