I am a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. My research interests span causal inference, machine learning, and AI’s implications for people and society.
I am working to broaden the use of causal methods for decision-making across many application domains; and, in the broad area of AI’s implications for society, my projects include work at the intersection of security and machine learning. I have a strong interest in computational social science questions and social media analyses, especially that require causal understanding of phenomenon in health, mental health; issues of data bias; and understanding how new technologies affect our awareness of the world and enable new kinds of information discovery and retrieval.
