Ashique KhudaBukhsh

Ashique KhudaBukhsh is an assistant professor at the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). His current research lies at the intersection of NLP and AI for Social Impact as applied to: (i) globally important events arising in linguistically diverse regions requiring methods to tackle practical challenges involving multilingual, noisy, social media texts; (ii) polarization in the context of the current US political crisis; and iii) auditing AI systems and platforms for unintended harms.

With three published collections of poems to his credit, an experience of directing music at a New York theater play, occasional dabbling at journalism and column-writing, and a recent success at swimming 50 meters underwater (a navy seal requirement), Ashique enjoys his multiple distractions that keep him away from work.
