Rachel Schlund
Ph.D. Student, ILE School, Cornell University (Spring '21 - Present)
I am a Ph.D. student in Organizational Behavior at Cornell University. My research utilizes theory and methods from social psychology and judgment and decision making to understand human perception, judgment, and behavior. Currently, I am conducting research on the application of new technologies and algorithms in the workplace, morality, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. I received my BA in psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and graduated summa cum laude with highest honors in the major.

I am a junior from Bowie, MD studying the intersections of Business and Sociology at Georgetown. I'm interested in understanding how social science can be used to improve business practices, especially in the ways of fairness, diversity, and inclusion.
