Jennifer Mickel

Hi, I’m Jenn! I’m a researcher studying the social impact of generative AI systems and developing robust algorithms, frameworks, and evaluations that support the development of systems that empower people without perpetuating societal harms.

I finished my undergrad at UT Austin in 2024 where I was a Dean’s Honored Graduate and studied Computer Science and Mathematics in the Turing Scholars and Polymathic Scholars honors programs and minored in African and African Diaspora Studies, Sociology, and Women and Gender Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. Currently, I am a software engineer building evaluations on the LLM Observability team at Datadog and working on research with my wonderful thesis advisors Dr. Maria De-Arteaga, Dr. Kevin Tian, and Dr. Leqi Liu.
