Mohna Chakraborty

The goal of my research is to examine the real-world usage of GenAI techniques and develop approaches to improve the skills needed in LLMs to handle social situations and enable the explainability, interpretability, replicability, and overall robustness of LLMs in handling social situations. Science Mentor: David Jurgens, Information; Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of ...

Rosiana Natalie

I have a strong research interest in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human-Computer Interaction, and Accessibility. My research centers on developing human-AI interactive systems to improve video accessibility for blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals. Audio Descriptions (AD) provide a verbal narration of on-screen actions, objects, and settings, allowing BLV individuals to enjoy videos without ...

Jeremy Seeman

I’m broadly interested in understanding how public data curators embed socially desirable values like privacy and confidentiality protections, equity, and reproducibility into their data publishing practices. My methodological research combines tools from theoretical computer science and computational social science to design and characterize complex structured errors induced by these practices. In doing so, I aim ...

He also serves as the Postdoctoral Affairs Co-chair for the University of Michigan Postdoctoral Association and as a Student Liaison for the Healthcare Applications Society within ...

Bernardo Modenesi

The labor market is a setting increasingly disrupted by AI (both in allocation of wages and of jobs) and yet understudied in the ethical AI research space. My research agenda has been focused on the combination of unsupervised learning methods, from network theory, and discrete choice tools, in order to improve the understanding of labor ...

Elyse Thulin

My research focuses on applications of computational methods to better understand human behaviors. One of my main projects applies natural language processing methods to examine interactions in an online substance use recovery group to better understand substance use recovery pathways, mental health, and social relationships. Accomplishments and Awards Sandy Hook Promise, University Of Michigan School ...

Edgar Franco-Vivanco

Edgar Franco-Vivanco is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and a faculty associate at the Center for Political Studies. His research interests include Latin American politics, historical political economy, criminal violence, and indigenous politics. Prof. Franco-Vivanco is interested in implementing machine learning tools to improve the analysis of historical data, in particular handwritten documents. He ...

Maryam Bagherian

My background is in applied mathematics and my primary research interest centers on developing algorithms and methodologies for data science using machine learning. More specifically, I am focused on developing algorithms for multidimensional multimodal big data which find primary application in medicine yet it is generalizable to other branches where bid data emerge.  My current ...
