Ashlyn Campbell

Bio

My name is Ashlyn Campbell and I am a doctoral student in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. My research explores approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in computing education, focusing on how to expand access by centering the knowledge students already bring and supporting their pathways to shape the future of AI. I am advised by Dr. Barbara Ericson and Dr. Mark Guzdial. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Sociology from Georgia State University (GSU). During my time at GSU, I founded and led the RISE in Computing Stars, an research-informed intervention for freshmen college students in computing alongside Dr. Anu Bourgeois. Additionally, I worked as a research assistant with the Human and Technology Lab at Clemson University and completed internships at companies like Microsoft.

Outside of my professional experiences, I am passionate about academic & professional mentorship, STEM outreach, and public scholarship. As a Minority Serving Institution (MSI) Ambassador at the University of Michigan Rackham Graduate School, I work with a diverse team to create opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to learn about and thrive in graduate school. Additionally, I invest in computer Science outreach in high schools through programs like the University of Michigan Wolverine Pathways, Sisters RISE Up, and the Community Action Network with the Society of Women Engineers. In my free time, I enjoy writing advice for aspiring computer scientists on my substack.
