Altug is a fourth-year PhD student in the field of human-computer interaction and machine learning, advised by Assistant Professor Ming Yin. His research centers on leveraging crowd wisdom to enhance machine intelligence (i.e., crowdsourcing and social computing), with a particular focus on addressing issues of fairness and bias in AI.

Specifically, he is interested in exploring different approaches to understand how bias impacts people's perceptions of fairness in AI-based decision systems, including investigating the impact of biased data on user engagement with the technology.

Through his research, Altug aims to contribute to the development of more equitable and socially responsible AI systems. He seeks to first understand the nature of bias in AI systems and then identify effective ways to address them.
