Kristina Gligorić is an assistant professor of computer science at the Johns Hopkins University, working at the intersection of computational social science and natural language processing. Her current research focuses on making AI more socially aware, and developing AI methods for the social sciences, with the goal of understanding, simulating, and changing human behavior in critical domains such as diet and health. She collaborates with tech companies, practitioners, and interdisciplinary researchers to turn her work into real-world impact, advancing AI methods, models, and datasets to address societal problems. She received her PhD in computer science from EPFL in 2022 and was a postdoctoral scholar in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University before joining Johns Hopkins in 2025.
