Algorithmic Monoculture and Social Welfare
Jon Kleinberg and Manish RaghavanTo appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
I'm a final-year PhD candidate in the Computer Science department at Cornell University, where I have the great fortune of being advised by Jon Kleinberg. I'm supported by an NSF GRFP award and a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley in May 2016. My primary interests lie in the application of computational techniques to domains of social concern, including algorithmic fairness and behavioral economics, with a particular focus on the use of algorithmic tools in the hiring pipeline. I'm also a member of Cornell's Artificial Intelligence, Policy, and Practice initiative and the Mechanism Design for Social Good working group on Bias, Discrimination, and Fairness. In my spare time, I play for Cornell's Mundial FC club soccer team.
