In the summer of 2024, she participated in a DukeEngage program in which she investigated AI use in elections information dissemination for minority language voters in the United States. Angela is continuing her research on campus through Bass Connections and is thrilled to expand this work beyond national borders through the Laidlaw Scholars Program.
