About

I am an Assistant Professor (tenured) at the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen (The Netherlands). My research addresses problems that arise when humans and AI systems interact, with a focus on fairness and transparency in high-stakes decision-making.

My main goal is to advance the responsible design and deployment of AI systems, in ways that support a fairer, more just society and preserve human agency. To do this, I take a multidisciplinary approach that combines new AI techniques with insights from behavioral research, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative methods.

Prior to my current appointment, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin, working closely with Maria De-Arteaga. I received my PhD from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany, where I wrote a dissertation “On the Interplay of Transparency and Fairness in AI-Informed Decision-Making.” I also hold a master’s degree in Operations Research from Georgia Tech. As a doctoral student, I was fortunate to do a research internship with Microsoft in Redmond. Before starting my PhD, I worked for two years as a Senior Data Scientist at IBM in New York.

I am lucky to work with many brilliant students. Currently, I am a PhD advisor for Ranjan Mishra (Groningen), and I informally co-advise Luca Deck (Bayreuth).
