Summary
Shreya Bali is a Ph.D. student in Human–Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University who designs AI systems that preserve value pluralism in contested domains rather than collapsing decisions to single metrics. With eight years of experience spanning research and industry—including software engineering at Databricks and multiple CMU research projects—she builds interactive prototypes that balance model initiative with human oversight and deploys them in real-world studies. Her work blends algorithmic innovation, systems architecture, and field deployment, and has produced CHI‑recognized research and open-source tools such as a deployed Slack bot for workplace conversation. Comfortable moving between production engineering, ML research, and human-centered evaluation, she focuses on mechanisms for framework-switching, surfacing value conflicts, and coordinating stakeholders when legitimate perspectives diverge.
