About Me.
I am a social-technical researcher guided by wisdom, patience, and thoughtfulness. My interdisciplinary background, rooted in medicine, allows me to address technological challenges from a humanistic and reflexive approach. My work aims to incorporate reflexive practices throughout AI Research and data-driven processes. To learn more, check out some of my research publications.
