Freddy is a fifth-year PhD student in the Computing and Data Science department at Boston University, and advised by the fantastic Allison McDonald. His work explores how power dynamics are shifted by technology with a focus on applying human-driven methods to complex issues. Currently, his projects are on 2nd order dynamics in digital spaces within labor unions and the motivations used by cryptographers for their research.
Lingyi Xu is a Ph.D. student in the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University. She seeks solutions to data missingness in multimodal learning across visual, tabular, and text data. Her work investigates how heterogeneous, incomplete data modalities can be represented and aligned to make learning more adaptable and their relationships more interpretable.
Stella is a PhD student at Boston University Computing and Data Sciences, where she works at the intersection of cognitive science and AI.
Her research centers on modeling human decision making, combining neural networks with traditional cognitive models to uncover the psychological principles behind how we choose. She is also building large-scale, high-quality datasets to drive this work forward.
