Aleksandra profile picture

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Public Affairs at Princeton University. I'm also excited to be part of Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy.

I study societal impacts of algorithms, machine learning and AI, and develop and deploy algorithms and technologies that enable data-driven innovations while preserving privacy, fairness and robustness. I also design and perform AI audits.

Research

Privacy, algorithmic fairness, accountability and transparency are currently at the center of key debates across academia, industry and policy. My research sits at the intersection of these topics and aims to leverage algorithmic thinking in order to provide new solution spaces that allow for a better balance between individual interests, societal goals, and technical innovation.

I develop algorithmic and systems advances that can enable data-driven innovations while preserving individual privacy, defined in the paradigm of differential privacy.

I work to understand how opaque AI systems (including generative AI) may be affecting individuals and society, and to develop algorithmic techniques for mitigating their negative consequences.
