Farnaz Jahanbakhsh

Farnaz Jahanbakhsh is an assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD from MIT CSAIL and was a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Human-Centered AI Institute. Her research spans social computing and human-AI interaction, organized around a commitment to pluralism: the recognition that people's values, goals, and contexts are irreducibly diverse, and that computing systems too often flatten that diversity in ways that backfire. She studies and designs computing systems, from social media feeds to generative AI, that are accountable to this diversity.
