rwong34@gatech.edu

Richmond Wong is an Assistant Professor in Digital Media, where he runs the Creating Ethics Infrastructures Lab.

His research focuses on understanding the social values, ethical issues, and work involved in technology production and use. Specifically, he studies how technology professionals address ethical issues in their work, and how to create the social and organizational conditions that can help support technologists to make ethical decisions. He also develops design-centered approaches to engage groups that create or are impacted by digital technology, to proactively discuss and consider ethical issues related to technology such as privacy or fairness. Richmond's work utilizes qualitative and design-based methods, drawing from science and technology studies, speculative design, and human-computer interaction. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of California Berkeley School of Information, and a postdoc at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity.

Cindy Lin is the Stephen Fleming Early Career Assistant Professor at the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. She is the director of Critical Technocultures Lab. Prior to her professorship at Georgia Tech, she was an assistant professor at the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability and the Department of Information Science. She was also a Digital Life Initiative Visiting Fellow at Cornell Tech.  

Cindy’s (she/her) research centers on the data practices, exchanges, and expertise of climate change and their relationship to environmental governance in Indonesia and the United States.

Cindy’s current book project examines how environmental data and AI are used to map and predict land and fires on Indonesia’s tropical peatland, the world’s largest terrestrial natural carbon store. Drawing from 3 years of ethnographic research with government ministries and agencies in Jakarta and with North American technology firms contracted as service providers to these institutions, I show that what started out as a state-driven initiative to monitor fire risk from afar transformed into a set of computing and labor-intensive efforts to stabilize fires.

Her work has been published in leading computing venues including ACM CSCW, CHI, DIS, and PD and has been featured in Social Text and CoDesign. Her graduate studies and research have been funded by the National Science Foundation, Dow Sustainability Fellows Program, Rackham Graduate School and the International Institute at the University of Michigan.

Cindy is the co-author of Technoprecarious, a multigraph written with Precarity Lab. She was also the co-director of DoIIIT, an interactive design and making studio. She holds a Ph.D. in Information from the School of Information (UMSI) and a graduate certificate from the Science, Technology, and Society Program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

jiou3@gatech.edu

I am an Assistant Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Interactive Computing. I design culturally informed STEM education technologies and increase access to computer science education in sustainable ways for low-income students and underserved communities. My work prioritizes identity development, engagement, and long-term sustainability of interventions.

Prior to Georgia Tech, I was a post-doctoral researcher at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Academy. I have a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon’s HCI Institute and was advised by Amy Ogan and Ken Koedinger.

My research has contributed to the design of a tablet-based learning system used to supplement formal education by over 500 students in rural Tanzania, programmable video games codesigned with children to increase computational thinking and coding skills among low income and marginalized youth in the United States, codesign of a state-wide Artificial Intelligence middle school curriculum, and active collaboration with several schools and organizations. As a passion project, I review children’s storybooks that celebrate African history and culture.

Annie Anton, Ph.D., is a professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, which she chaired until 2017. Previously, she served as a professor in the Computer Science Department of the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University, where she was director of the CSC Policy and Compliance Initiative and a member of the NCSU Cyber Defense Lab. In 2010, she chaired the NC State University Reappointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee. In 2008, she chaired the NC State Public Policy Task Force. Anton's research focuses on methods and tools to support the specification of complete, correct behavior of software systems used in environments that pose risks of loss as a consequence of failures and misuse. This includes systems in which the security of personal and private information is particularly vulnerable. Current extensions to this work, include the analysis of federal security and privacy regulations, and compliance practices. Anton is the founder and director of ThePrivacyPlace.org, a research group of students and faculty at Georgia Tech, CMU, NC State and UMBC. This group is interested in technologies that assist practitioners and policy makers in meeting the challenge of eliciting and expressing policies and regulations (a form of requirements). These tools help ensure that software systems are aligned with the privacy polices and regulations that govern these systems. Her professional activities include a notable combination of multi-disciplinary research and education. She is co-founder of the annual Requirements Engineering and the Law Workshop (RELAW).
