Our very own Mario Peng Lee, who recently graduated this Spring 2024 as a Departmental Honors recipient with a B.A. in Linguistics & Computer Science and Psychology and a minor in Data Science Engineering, was recognized for his work to increase awareness and critical thinking about AI safety! We applaud Mario for using his research experience in AI, machine learning, and natural language processing to help people and create positive outcomes.
