Hi, I’m Leah.
(pronounced lay-uh..yes, like the Star Wars character)
I want to understand how we can better leverage emerging transportation technologies for the benefit of, rather than detriment to, society.
I am an Associate in Exponent’s Vehicle Engieering Practice, specializing in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles.
I hold a doctorate in Systems Engineering from the George Washington University, where I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a fellow with GWU’s Co-Design of Trustworthy AI Systems NSF Research Traineeship Program. My dissertation research examined several potential impacts of autonomous vehicles and used them as a case study of the potential societal effects of AI-enabled automation in the physical world.
