My current research interests span the Computational Social Sciences
and ICT4D
. Specifically, I’m interested in misinformation, social media and information flow in online communities. I interned at Microsoft Research India
under Anirban Sen and Joyojeet Pal (UMich Ann Arbor). Previously, I’ve been a part of the MPhasis Lab
(under Mahavir Jhawar and Subhashis Banerjee) and BharatSim
(under Debayan Gupta).
I graduated magna cum laude from Ashoka University
with a Gold Medal in Computer Science. Beyond academics, I’m a competent artist, photographer, archer and an incompetent pianist.
