Hi I am Mona! I am a computer scientist (AI concentration) in training, Stanford student, undergraduate researcher and AI instructor passionate about helping humanity be around for long and prosper... . I am advised by Prof. Alex Aiken and Prof. Fei-Fei Li at Stanford Vision and Learning Lab, and also serve as leadership for multiple student organization on campus including CS+Social Good and Stanford Public Interest Technology Lab.
Interests
My immediate research interests include theory of mind, robotics, reinforcement learning and computer vision. However, I endeavor to work on my personal three-fold goals as described below:
First, I want to commit to pursuing integrity and moral education through taking multiple ethics and philosophy classes, participation in campus life where my peers discuss ethics of technology, personal studies and self-reflection. Second, I want to pursue a depth of understanding in math and computer science through my course work and auditing related material. Third, I want to be actively involved with the research community in forms that can have immediate benefits such as the BEHAVIOR project, or through working on applications of AI to my fields of interest such as genetics and law.
My long-term goals in pursuing computing research involve simultaneously working towards increasing my capacity to assist with ethically-development Artificial Intelligence in the long term, pursuing a PhD in the field, and making short term contributions that empower fellow researchers and make my field of interest more accessible and less expensive.
