Vyoma Raman (she/her) is completing her PhD with a focus on machine learning fairness and natural language processing. She is advised by Angelina Wang and is an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and a Cornell Graduate School Dean’s Scholar. Vyoma’s research centers on building and evaluating equitable language technologies, particularly to promote human rights and disability justice. She previously earned her master’s degree in computer science at Stanford University and bachelor’s degrees in computer science and interdisciplinary studies at UC Berkeley. In her free time, Vyoma enjoys writing satire and reading murder mysteries.

Mehrnaz Sabet works in the Collaborative Technologies lab at Cornell where she leads research on human-drone systems. Her research is focused on aerial autonomy through the design and development of drone systems to study how we can reliably increase drone autonomy when drones are deployed to work with humans in time-critical applications such as search and rescue operations. Prior to Cornell, she received her undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering.
