Christopher L. Dancy
Dr. Christopher L. Dancy is an associate professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and African American Studies at Penn State where he also currently holds the Harold and Inge Marcus Industrial and Manufacturing Career Development professorship. He directs The Human in Computing and Cognition (THiCC) lab and is currently a faculty partner in the Center for Black Digital Research/#DigBlk. His expertise and interests lie at the intersection of human behavior, computational systems, and social structures, with a goal of studying the Human in various computing systems and engineering processes.
Dr. Dancy is an NSF CAREER award recipient, with a goal of moving AI and computing towards the development of socioculturally competent AI systems, and is co-lead of the Computational Representation of Human Decision Processes research thrust for the NSF funded AI Institute for Societal Decision-Making where he is using computational cognitive systems to study and intervene in the real impacts of racialization and antiBlackenss on decision making processes and outcomes.
This event is co-sponsored by Africana Studies, Center for Digital Scholarship (CDS), Center for Technological Responsibility Reimagination and Redesign (CNTR), and the Black Beyond Data Project at Johns Hopkins. We are grateful for funding through the Mellon Foundation.
