My main research projects are at the intersection of equitable AI, intelligent user interfaces for marginalized communities with an emphasis on low literacy Latino populations and with bridging healthcare disparities. This is a blend of AI, NLP, HCI and other acronyms. ;). I strive to not only advance computer science, but to impact the communities we work with.
Read MoreI am an associate professor in the departments of Health Informatics and Data Science and Surgery at Loyola University Chicago.. I am also affiliated with the Center for Advancing Safety and Machine Intelligence -CASMI- at Northwestern University. My research focuses on impacting marginalized and minority communities for whom the utilization of technology is structurally difficult, yet potentially beneficial. I previously taught at Northeastern Illinois University. I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northwestern University, an MSc. in AI and Education at DePaul University, and a BA in informatics from Universidad Diego Portales.

Health disparities are, in some dimensions, a problem of information access. My research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human computer interaction and education to advance cancer health equity through intelligent user interfaces purposefully designed to interact with marginalized, low-literacy communities. Check the following projects:
Previous projects:
Some of these projects have been on the national and international press: Check my interview with Le Monde,L'Atelier and this article in the New Scientist.

I am affiliated with the Center for Advancing Safety and Machine Intelligence -CASMI-. I previously taught in the Computer Science Department at Northeastern Illinois University. I got my undergraduate degree in Systems Engineer and Informatics at Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago, Chile. A masters degree in Computer Science at DePaul University with a concentration in AI; I got a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Infolab, in the Computer Science department of Northwestern University. Other interests include: Computational linguistics and enhancing social interactions with technology that can help make a difference, such as intelligent tutoring systems and other aspects of AI applied to the education of children. In the past I worked developing Virtual Peers for minority children with Justine Cassell at the ArticuLab.
