Background
  • Associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University with joint appointments in Machine Learning and Computer Science.
  • Research focuses on 'the science of evaluation and the evaluation of science', developing algorithms with strong theoretical guarantees and conducting large-scale controlled experiments for evidence-based policy and real-world deployment.
  • Uses human-AI collaboration to address fundamental questions about scientific work: correctness, quality, fundability, and authenticity.
  • Research has been applied to the evaluation of over 100,000 papers and thousands of grant proposals across more than 200 venues.
  • Methods extend naturally to other domains such as admissions and competition judging.
