Priscilla Kang (PK) is a junior undergraduate student at Duke University studying Public Policy and Computer Science, with interests in how technology shapes institutions and public life. She is involved in Duke Cyber and other campus organizations, where she enjoys engaging with questions around emerging technologies, ethics, and policy. Her research and project work have focused on topics such as AI governance, financial and climate data transparency, and how public institutions use data systems to make decisions. She has worked on policy-oriented projects through internships and student leadership roles, often at the intersection of technology and public accountability.

Moonwon Seo is a master’s student in Applied Ethics & Policy at Duke University. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2021 with a B.A. in Public Policy and a minor in Philosophy, Politics & Economics. Before Duke, Moonwon spent 3.5 years at a DC-based public health nonprofit advancing healthcare access and managing federally funded initiatives, managing projects on equity-driven program operations. At Duke, his research and interests focus on the ethical deployment of AI-powered technologies - especially the challenges around protecting data rights, consent, and accountability in the application of emerging technologies. Last semester, Moonwon’s passion for coffee turned into an in-depth report examining how blockchain technologies are being implemented in the coffee supply chain, and its potential to function more as “tech-forward” greenwashing than meaningful transparency. 

Enqiang (Yutong) Yuan is a sophomore majoring in Public Policy and Asian & Middle Eastern Studies with a certificate in Digital Intelligence. Her work centers on the ethical and political dimensions of AI in high-stakes contexts such as immigration, caregiving, and global compliance. In the Duke Oca Lab, she conducted a case study on AI-powered refugee status determination algorithms, analyzing documentation, model behavior, and risk scores to surface ethical and legal concerns. She also contributes to research on ethical issues in AI companion tools for elders with aphasia, focusing on how interface design and data flows shape user vulnerability. Beyond campus, she serves as in-house legal counsel for Marbella AI, drafting cross-border contracts and helping design compliance strategies for AI-based education services.

Peter Banyas is a senior studying Electrical & Computer Engineering and Philosophy. He has a blast leading the Duke Cyber Club as President, where he introduces students to the world of “wielding magic in the margins.” He concurrently works for a startup called Lumbra, where he’s building agentic AI for the US national security enterprise. Last year, Peter consulted for NATO leaders on defense innovation and cyber resilience. This year, he helped White House policymakers understand the risks of ideological variance and factual distortions in LLMs. At Duke, he has conducted research on breaking cryptographic schemes with AI and misdirecting AI-powered drones with electromagnetic and acoustic attacks.

Jeanette Pan is a first-year Electrical & Computer Engineering student at Duke University pursuing a certificate in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. She is interested in applied technology and cybersecurity, with a focus on translating complex technical systems into accessible impact. Jeanette is Co-Director of the Duke Digital Frontiers Conference and competes in the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge. Her research explores the ethical use of AI in revitalizing Indigenous languages through community-informed design. Before Duke, she debated competitively at the national level and co-organized two TEDx conferences, experiences that shaped her approach to facilitating technical conversations across disciplines.
