Soham De
I’m a PhD student at the University of Washington and a part of the Center for Informed Public, advised by Martin Saveski. My research interests are broadly within Computational Social Science, which includes the study of misinformation and social media. I’m specifically interested in building healthier online spaces in a post-LLM world - let’s chat if this sounds exciting!
Previously, I interned at Microsoft Research India under Anirban Sen and at the University of Michigan under Joyojeet Pal. 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.
