Research & Development
With over 50+ years of combined industry and academic experience in AI and ML operations, Arthur is proud to adopt a research-led approach to product development. Our experimental approach and expert researchers drive exclusive capabilities in LLMs, computer vision, bias mitigation, and other critical areas.
John Dickerson
Chief Scientist
John serves as Co-Founder of and Chief Scientist to Arthur. He is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland. He specializes in solving problems at the intersection of economics and artificial intelligence using techniques from machine learning, stochastic optimization, and computational social choice. He has worked extensively in the design and fielding of markets in healthcare and in advertising. John brings to Arthur a unique blend of academic pursuit and industry problem solving. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University.
Teresa Datta
Machine Learning Engineer
Teresa is a researcher at Arthur interested in transparency and social impact of algorithmic systems from a human-centered lens. She is interested in use-case evaluations of tools for AI transparency and context-based mechanisms for accountability. Previously, she worked on XAI and HCI projects while completing her M.S. in Data Science at Harvard University.

Sahil Verma
Sahil is a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. He is interested in answering questions related to explainability and fairness in ML models. In the past, Sahil has worked on developing novel techniques to generate counterfactual explanations for ML classifiers and also spearheaded a team that wrote a large and comprehensive survey paper on counterfactual explanations. Currently, Sahil is interested in problems of explainability in recommender systems and fairness in LLMs.
