My name is Olawale (Wale) Salaudeen, and I am a postdoctoral associate at MIT in the Healthy ML Lab led by Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi. Prior to my postdoc, I earned a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Stanford Trustworthy AI Research (STAIR) Lab at Stanford University, advised by Professor Sanmi Koyejo. I am honored to have received a Sloan Scholarship, Beckman Graduate Research Fellowship, GEM Associate Fellowship, and an NSF Miniature Brain Machinery Traineeship. Additionally, I am fortunate to have interned at Sandia National Laboratories (w/ Dr. Eric Goodman), Google Brain (w/ Dr. Alex D’Amour), Cruise LLC, and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (w/ Dr. Moritz Hardt).

Before Illinois, I received a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics from the Texas A&M University.
