Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaty Gero is a human-computer interaction researcher and Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Sydney with 11 years of experience exploring creativity support and writing assistants. Her PhD from Columbia examined how creative writers use language models, and her postdoctoral work at Harvard investigated evaluation methods and how people form mental models of generative AI. She now focuses on the ethics of data collection, community-built models that resist corporate dominance, and questions of ownership, agency, and learning in AI systems. Supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the Brown Institute, Katy blends rigorous academic research with practical product and engineering experience from earlier roles in R&D and hardware-focused startups. She is also a poet, bringing a practitioner’s sensitivity to language to her technical work.
