Sajel Surati
PhD Student, New York University
I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at New York University, advised by Emily Black and Rosanna Bellini.
My research sits at the intersection of responsible AI and human–computer interaction. I am interested in how people encounter algorithmic systems in their working lives — and in building tools and evaluations that make those systems more legible and more accountable to the people they act on.
My work has been covered by Forbes.
Outside of research I read, run, and cycle.
