About
Noelle Brown is an Assistant Professor, Lecturer in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah.
I earned my PhD in Human-Centered Computing at the University of Utah advised by Dr. Eliane Wiese. I am a Computer Science Education researcher, and my research focuses on exploring the design and impact of educational materials that teach ethics and responsible computing to undergraduate computing students. I am passionate about fair and ethical AI/ML, and I believe that I can have the most impact in the field by educating others.
As a lecturing faculty member, my focus is on teaching -- I do not take on research students or respond to inquiries regarding research supervision.
