I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at The
University of Chicago, where I am also on the Committee on Data Science. I am
interested in all things data. My research agenda, data ecology, explores how
data affects our technological, economic, social, and cultural ecosystems. We
study ecosystems via dataflows and propose interventions--- primarily technical,
but also economic, social, and others---to control dataflows so we extract the
value of data while avoiding its potential harm. In addition, I am interested in
designing and implementing systems for data discovery and processing. I received
a SIGMOD'23 Test-of-Time Award and an NSF CAREER in 2024. I thank everyone who
makes our research possible, including DSI@UChicago, the Department of Economics
at UChicago, NSF, and industrial gifts. After doing my PhD at Imperial College
London (in distributed data processing) I did a postdoc at MIT (in data
discovery).
