Chinasa T. Okolo, Ph.D.

I am a Ph.D. graduate of the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. I came to Cornell after receiving a degree in Computer Science from Pomona College in Spring 2018.

My dissertation research examined how frontline healthcare workers in rural India perceive AI and analyzed how AI explainability can meet the needs of novice technology users in the Global South.

My research continues to explore the promise of human-centered AI by examining how African governments can facilitate effective AI and data governance, investigating the socioeconomic impact of data work in the Global South, and analyzing datafication and algorithmic marginalization in Africa.
