About Jeffrey Basoah
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Human-Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction with a focus on AI fairness. I am a member of the Tactile and Tactical (TAT) Design Lab, under the guidance of Dr. Daniela Rosner, and the Wildlab, where I am also advised by Dr. Katharina Reinecke. My work across these labs focuses on exploring design, technology, and social impact through interdisciplinary research.I am deeply invested in promoting responsible AI/ML systems that prioritize fairness, inclusivity, and equity. My research investigates the sociotechnical implications of race and culture, especially in how intelligent systems and automated language technologies interact with underrepresented communities. Leveraging inclusive design and justice-driven frameworks, I aim to enhance user experiences with a particular emphasis on Black American communities. In addition to my academic pursuits, I serve as a board member of Acquiring Knowledge for Transcendence and Design Team Lead at A Vision for Engineering Literacy and Access, both nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting underrepresented youth in education. My career goal is to establish a research lab that addresses social disparities in tech design, ultimately contributing to data-driven solutions that mitigate racial biases and amplify diverse voices within intelligent systems.
