STS

STS

My engagement in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) examines how technological systems are governed—and how those choices determine whether innovation promotes equity, accountability, and human dignity, or reproduces existing inequalities.

Through interdisciplinary research, public dialogue, and policy-oriented analysis, I explore how ethical frameworks, institutional structures, and social contexts shape the real-world consequences of emerging technologies.

Academic Research in STS & Ethics

STS & Ethical AI — Pediatric Vision Screening

Under the mentorship of Amol Joshi, I conducted STS research on the ethical deployment of AI in pediatric vision screening. Through seminars, independent research sessions, and peer-led discussions on AI governance, I examined how technical systems intersect with public health, equity, and institutional responsibility.

I authored a 38-page research paper analyzing smartphone-based AI diagnostics for children aged 0–5, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and strategic implementation in underserved contexts. The project earned an A (4 credits) and strengthened my interest in policy-aware, human-centered technology design.

Public Dialogue & Human-Centered Innovation

18 Under 18 STS Forum

As an invited speaker and organizer, I led discussions on ethical technology, coordinated events, and synthesized insights from 20+ academic and policy sources. My work highlighted equity challenges across eight technology sectors, translating complex STS debates into accessible dialogue for youth audiences. As a lead organizer of Human-centered Innovation Society, I helped guide interdisciplinary forums connecting technology, design, healthcare, and education. I hosted discussions, organized Humanity Hackathons, and supported the development of AI tools for blind STEM learners. I also chaired a youth forum recognized in the Top 5% of CTB initiatives.
