My research focuses on exploring the ethical application of machine learning tools to pressing societal problems, particularly the expansion of credit access to underserved groups. As alternative credit decisioning tools are becoming increasingly utilized by FinTechs, the ethical implications as well as its predictability and fairness measures are yet to be determined.
