Cornelia Paulik
I am an Assistant Professor of Practice at UC Berkeley's School of Information and currently a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University.
Before this, I was a Research Scientist at Stanford University and a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Data-Intensive
Development Lab at UC Berkeley.
My research is at the intersection of health and the environment, utilizing foundational models and other machine learning architectures in the NLP and CV space.
Note to prospective PhD students: due to the high volume of emails I receive, I may not be able to respond to your questions individually. If you are interested in having me as a co-advisor, please apply through the iSchool PhD application process and mention this in your application.
