Environmental Injustice and Deaths of Despair: Lessons from Montana’s Tribal Lands
Research Areas: Health Informatics Information Justice, Human Rights, and Technology Ethics
The proposed project uses the case of Native American Lands in Montana to investigate the dynamic interactions between environmental change and socio-economic conditions, in order to identify potential pathways whereby environmental hardship may contribute to (and result from) forms of socio-economic distress linked to deaths of despair.

FAI: A Human-centered Approach to Developing Accessible and Reliable Machine Translation
Principal Investigator(s): Ge Gao
Funders: National Science Foundation
Research Areas: Human-Computer Interaction Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
This project develops human-centered machine translation tools to improve cross-lingual communication in high-stakes contexts like health care and employment. By creating an AI-assisted bot that detects translation errors, guides user input, and supports recovery from miscommunication, it aims to make translation more reliable, accessible, and safe for lay users.
