work

I am currently a professor in Artificial Intelligence at Duke University and director of the TRUST Lab. At Duke, I am also the Associate Director for the Society-Centered AI Initiative, where I am Director of Graduate Studies for our Society-Centered AI graduate education program. I am a Coach K Center on Leadership and Ethics Scholar and a Fellow in the Pluralism, Free Inquiry, and Belonging program.

I am also the founder of Tensor & Trust, a trustworthy AI strategic consulting firm, where I work with both Fortune 500 companies and small family-owned businesses on AI integration. My approach is centered on responsibility, creativity, and human values.

My current research interests are in AI for Science, Explainable AI, technology evaluation, and AI alignment.

Previously, I was Managing Partner and a senior data scientist at Edge Analytics, a boutique machine learning consulting firm, where I led projects and developed algorithms for the largest companies in the world. I have created technology for products spanning health & wellness, fitness & sports, privacy/compliance, interior design, and energy forecasting.
