Hello

I’m a researcher, educator, and advocate for ethics and diversity in Computing. As of Sept 2025, I am a Tenured Associate Professor of Computer Software and Systems at the University of Washington (Bothell).

Our paper on “Reasoning Well, Judging Poorly: Theory of Mind Scaffolding Exposes the Limits of LLM Persuasion Judges” has been accepted in EMNLP 2026.

I will be giving a keynote on Theory of Mind and LLMs at NeurIPS 2026 workshops https://social-llm-workshop.github.io

I am currently the editor for Nature Journal on Federated Learning Behavioral AI for Human-centric Systems. Submit your articles here.

Fun: See my academic tree to celebrate those who came before me.
