- Education
- PhD in Philosophy, University of Toronto
- BA in Philosophy and Computer Science, New York University, Abu Dhabi
Her research bridges ethically significant questions in computing with formal epistemology, focusing on topics like functional and demographic diversity, misinformation, fairness, and polarization dynamics. She develops computational models to address ethical challenges in AI and social networks while exploring how technology influences human identity and cognition.
Key publications examine diversity trade-offs (2024), ethical-epistemic frameworks (2022), and threshold views in decision-making. Her forthcoming work at The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science warns against overconfidence in algorithmic track records.

Alice integrates ethics into computer science curriculum, designing courses like Ethical Issues in Big Data (University of Toronto, 2024) and Persons, Minds and Bodies (PHL 240, 2023), which explores technology's impact on personal identity. She also contributes to ongoing debates about gaslighting, reward systems in science, and interpretability in AI through draft manuscripts.
