Philip Feldman

Dr. Philip Feldman has spent most of his career building technology for people to use: graphical interfaces, robots, even exercise machines that play video games. He has degrees in art and ecology, as well as a PhD in Human Centered Computing. He has 12 patents and his academic research focuses on how technology affects why people believe things and how populations make decisions. He has developed several techniques for polling populations using large transformer language models, which allow the latent beliefs of a group to be explored.

He is currently a research professor in Information Systems at the University of Maryland Baltimore County where he studies how to build diverse and resilient systems and that can improve the way we communicate with each other through our ever-present devices.

Dr. Feldman is an avid photographer, a lover of the outdoors, and a cycling enthusiast. He also loves to cook, but is trying to get better at it. He can often be found looking for unusual and interesting places in his home state of Maryland.
