Hi 👋, I'm Dora Zhao.

I am a second-year CS PhD student at Stanford University, co-advised by Professors Michael Bernstein and Diyi Yang. My research is supported by the Brown Institute for Media Innovation and the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans. Previously, I was an AI Engineer at Sony AI on the Ethics flagship project. I also worked in the Princeton Visual AI Lab, advised by Professor Olga Russakovsky.

My research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction and machine learning fairness. I am broadly interested in designing technical methods that empower community control over AI systems and improving practices around machine learning dataset collection.
