Hi, I'm Kathleen! This website highlights research I conducted during my PhD studies at WPI advised by Prof. Elke Rundensteiner. My research focused on fair and responsible data science, with a concentration on building algorithmic systems and technologies for tasks such as selection problems, ranking, preference aggregation, and score-based rankers that ensure data-driven decisions are made in a fair and inclusive manner.
