Bio
Morganstern is an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science Georgia Tech. Prior to this appointment, she was fortunate to be hosted by Michael Kearns, Aaron Roth, and Rakesh Vohra as a Warren Center fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her PhD working with Avrim Blum at Carnegie Mellon University. Morgenstern studies the social impact of machine learning and the impact of social behavior on ML's guarantees. How should machine learning be made robust to the behavior of the people generating training or test data for it? How should ensure that the models we design do not exacerbate inequalities already present in society?
