Hello, I’m Christina!

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of California, Los Angeles advised by Kai-Wei Chang. I am supported by the Eugene V. Cota-Robles Fellowship and the GEM Fellowship Program. My research focuses on:

1. applications of NLP methodologies for bias mitigation and quantification in social science
2. studying dialectical biases in existing machine learning systems, and
3. assessment and development of community-grounded content moderation approaches to support marginalized digital communities

This culminates under the goal of engaging with, studying, assessing, and critiquing socio-technical systems that people engage with in their everyday lives, as well as developing more inclusive and equitable systems.

Beyond this work, I love doing community service and watching anime!
