Professor Carla E. Brodley is the Dean of Inclusive Computing at Northeastern University, where she serves as the Executive Director for the Center for Inclusive Computing and holds a tenured appointment in Khoury College of Computer Sciences. Dr. Brodley served as dean of Khoury College from 2014-2021. Prior to joining Northeastern, she was a professor of the Department of Computer Science and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Tufts University (2004-2014). Before joining Tufts, she was on the faculty of the School of Electrical Engineering at Purdue University (1994-2004).
A fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Brodley’s interdisciplinary machine learning research led to advances not only in computer and information science, but in areas including remote sensing, neuroscience, digital libraries, astrophysics, content-based image retrieval of medical images, computational biology, chemistry, evidence-based medicine, and predictive medicine.
Brodley’s numerous leadership positions include serving as program co-chair of the International Conference on Machine Learning, co-chair of AAAI, and associate editor of the Journal of AI Research and the Journal of Machine Learning Research. She previously served on the Defense Science Study Group, the board of the International Machine Learning Society, the AAAI Council, the executive committee of the Northeast Big Data Hub, and DARPA’s Information Science and Technology Board.
Carla is on the Board of Trustees of the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and the Board of Directors of Alegion, Inc . Additionally, she serves on the Computing Research Association Board of Directors, and is a member of Mass Technology Leadership Council.
Catherine Gill oversees business development and strategic partnerships for Khoury College. She is also currently the managing director for the Align Master’s Program at Northeastern University. Align provides a direct path to a Master’s in Computer Science for non-computer science majors and people without programming experience.
Prior to assuming this role, Gill was Executive Vice President at Root Capital, a social enterprise that provides financing and advisory services to rural businesses in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. At Root Capital, she also played a leadership role in developing the Women in Agriculture Initiative, which has invested in more than one hundred gender-inclusive businesses across the globe. Gill holds a bilingual MBA from the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de la Empresa (IESE) in Barcelona, Spain, and a B.A. in ancient Greek from Wellesley College; and serves on the boards of the Partnership for Gender Equity and the Criterion Institute.
Megan Giordano is the Program Manager of Diagnostic Grants for the Center for Inclusive Computing. Prior to joining the Center, she held multiple roles in Khoury College of Computer Sciences, most recently as the Assistant Director of Student Services, creating and managing student success and engagement initiatives. She also served as an academic advisor for Khoury students. Megan earned a master’s degree in Higher Education and Student Affairs from Indiana University, a BS in mathematics education from Purdue University, and previously was a middle and high school math teacher.
Talisa Jackson is a doctoral candidate at George Mason University where she is studying science education. Through her research, Talisa seeks to examine the representation of girls of color in STEM-related picture books with the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented populations in the STEM field. Prior to joining us at the Center for Inclusive computing, Jackson worked at the National Science Foundation as a program specialist.
Prior to pursuing her doctoral studies, Jackson taught kindergarten and fourth grade in Title I schools in North Carolina and Virginia. Her experience in Title I schools, where 70% or more students receive free or reduced lunch, opened Talisa’s eyes to STEM education inequalities. This led her to research the various ways girls and people of color can be encouraged to participate in the STEM field.
Sally Wynn is the Grants Program Manager at the Center for Inclusive Computing. She earned a master’s degree in Public Health from Boston University with a certificate in Health Policy & Law.
Sally Wynn’s areas of study include understanding societal and institutional barriers to accessing opportunities, especially regarding women and underrepresented minorities in the United States. Prior to joining the Center, Sally worked at a non-profit in Boston where she focused on the intersection of respiratory health and health equity in New England.
