I'm Achi.
I'm a PhD student in Northwestern's Technology and Social Behavior program - a dual PhD program in Computer Science and Communication. As a member of the CollabLab, under the guidance of Professor Darren Gergle, I research the impact of AI on people with disabilities.
I'm passionate about understanding and mitigating the harms of emerging technologies through community engaged research, speculative fiction/design, and tech policy.
