Mackenzie Jorgensen
PhD Candidate in Computer Science · King's College London
I am a Computer Science PhD Candidate funded by the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted Artificial Intelligence
at King’s College London.
My research focus is on mitigating the harms that can result from algorithmic decision making.
I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Villanova University
with a Bachelor of Science in May 2020. I studied Computer Science and Philosophy as a Presidential Scholar.
As an undergraduate, I completed research projects in the U.S. and Germany in the fields of big data analytics, multi-agent communication and coordination, and hate speech
moderation through machine learning.
