Saiph Savage is a Mexican computer scientist and researcher. Her research is in civic technology, human computer interaction, and crowdsourcing. She is best known for her civic tech research that focuses on improving the conditions of crowd workers, and in studying political disinformation[1]. She frequently collaborates with Mexico's Federal Government to deploy and study her civic technology at scale. Her research has been featured in The New York Times.[2], the BBC[3], Deutsche Welle[4], Fortune Magazine[5], Forbes[6] among other publications.
Early life and education
Savage earned her B.S. in Computer Engineering at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City[7]. She also has a M.S. and Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Santa Barbara[8]. During her Ph.D., Saiph developed civic technology for combating disinformation[9] and improving gig work[10].
Career
Savage is the director of the Human Computer Interaction Lab at West Virginia University, and co-director of the UNAM Civic Innovation laboratory. Her research work focuses on designing civic technology that can impact governments[11], the labor conditions of gig workers, and the fight against disinformation. She introduced Human Centered Design into rural West Virginia[12] and has advised Mexico's Federal Government to adopt a Human Centered Design approach[13][14][15].
Application areas of her work include intelligent tools to help gig workers earn higher wages[10], large scale studies of political disinformation campaigns in the United States and Latin America[9]. Savage has authored and co-authored over 20 full-length, significant scientific publications. Through her research, she helped push the creation of a Federal Advisory Committee in Mexico for exponential technology[11]. Dr Savage also has US and Chinese patents[16].
Awards & Honors
Savage was named one of the 35 innovators under 35 by MIT Tech Review[1], as well as a Google Anita Borg Scholar[17]. She has also been awarded a large grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF)[18] to design civic technology for the future of work. Dr. Savage was also named keynote speaker for NeurIPS[19], the largest and most important scientific conference on Artificial Intelligence, and has been profiled by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)[20]
