Kenny Peng

I am a second-year computer science PhD student at Cornell. Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Princeton, where I was lucky to work closely with Arvind Narayanan and Evita Nestoridi.

I study interactions between machine learning, algorithmic decision-making, and society.
