Malihe Alikhani

Malihe Alikhani is an assistant professor at Khoury College for Computer Sciences. Her research goal is to design inclusive and equitable language technologies. This involves developing systems that communicate effectively with diverse populations, especially those from underserved communities. By integrating insights from cognitive science and social sciences with machine learning, she designs computational models that capture the diversity of interpretation and reflect the success of language as a communicative tool.

She aspires to discern and address biases in learning models, especially in applications such as education, health, and social justice. This aspiration has led her to collaborate with educators, healthcare experts, and community leaders to create inclusive technology-enabled experiences.
