Hi Hi :)
My name is Carter Buckner, and I’m a researcher focusing on privacy-preserving and trustworthy ML.
I am most interested in user-centric approaches that address AI privacy, user trust, and government policy. I am currently exploring how explainable AI can be used to make AI privacy solutions more effective.
I received M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Arkansas. You can learn more in my other interests section.
