As a Researcher at Data & Society, he is a member of the AI on the Ground Initiative and works on an NSF-funded multisite project, Pervasive Data Ethics for Computational Research (PERVADE). For this project, he studies how data ethics practices are emerging in environments that have not previously grappled with research ethics, such as industry, conference committees, and civil society organizations. He also studies how design practices can successfully integrate ethical values and principles.
