Emma Lurie

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, working with Danaé Metaxa and Sorelle Friedler. In January 2027, I will join Barnard College as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. My research addresses how platform design and tech policy can promote democratic values and protect civil liberties. The projects I work on often draw on some combination of AI auditing, HCI research, and legal analysis.

I completed my PhD in Information Science at UC Berkeley and JD at Stanford Law School. I have a BA in Computer Science and Chinese Language & Culture from Wellesley College.
