develops mathematical and computational fraAbebe's research develops techniques in artificial intelligence and algorithms, with a focus on inequality and distributive justice. Her work includes algorithmic frameworks for examining issues in underserved populations. Her interest in merging inequality studies and computer science stemmed both from her educational background in Ethiopia as well as her study of the Cambridge public schools through attendance of school board meetings. Through these experiences she emphasizes the potential social harms of inequitable algorithmic design in her work. Throughout 2019 Abebe served on the National Institutes of Health Working Group, which was tasked with developing a comprehensive report and recommendations for the NIH. meworks for examining questions related to inequality and distributive justice; founder of the multi-institutional extradisciplinary research initiatives MD4SG & Black in AI; works with the Ethiopian government to improve the algorithm they use to match H.S. students with colleges;
