Hi, I'm Rachel Kim.

I am a PhD student in Societal Computing at Carnegie Mellon University in the School of Computer Science's Software and Societal Systems Department. I am advised by Hoda Heidari and Rayid Ghani.

My research interests lie broadly in the intersections between computer science and public policy.

I completed my HBSc in Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Toronto. During my undergraduate years, I had the honour of working with Ashton Anderson and Peter Marbach.
