Kenya Andrews is a proud graduate of the Dual Degree Engineering Program at Spelman College where earned a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and Auburn University where earned a Bachelors of Computer Engineering. Andrews is a PhD Candidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago in Computer Science. Throughout her PhD journey, she has obtained the Google + Black in Robotics (BiR) Fellowship, GEM Fellowship, NSF Bridge to Doctorate Fellowship, Bill and Melinda Gates Scholarship/Fellowship. Her main research interests are in: (1) Using machine learning algorithms to mitigate injustice amongst historically marginalized groups so that they have fair access to opportunities through increased visibility of those groups, (2) Working towards just algorithmic decision-making which is comprehensive for all people and encourages growth towards a thriving society for all people, and (3) Designing just and fair decision-making algorithms that drive Human-Robot Interaction (Including roboethics). Andrews’ most recent research projects are focused on analyzing, proving, and correcting instances in which people are invisible to algorithms/machines due to various aspects, such as silencing, which prevents them from having proper access to things they need. In her spare time, Andrews is passionate about mentoring students of all ages. She dedicates her time to coaching middle and high school students in robotics, guiding high school students in college preparation, and supporting college students in their professional development.
