Hello world! 👋 I am an Assistant Professor of Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam, and a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford [Pembroke College]. I lead research at theinvisiblelab.org where we leverage machine learning and information retrieval to study both the diversity and the limits of human knowledge in an increasingly digitized world. A selection of ongoing projects include:
- Developing methods to theorize, quantify, and boost invisible information
- PictoPercept: Capturing invisible biases through pairwise visual wikisurveys
- Lost Without Translation: Estimation and implications of invisible languages on the Internet
- Shadowbans: Computational prediction of shadowbans and their implications
- Beyond Words: Communication beyond the human species
I received my PhD in Education Policy [minor in Computer Science] from Stanford University, where I was a Human-centered AI Fellow, a Stanford Data Science Scholar, and a William R and Sara Hart Kimball Fellow. My prior background spans Computer Science Engineering [BITS Pilani], Economics [Stanford], and Education [TISS]. More here.
I am fond of exploring unorthodox films from diverse cultures, plant-based cooking experiments, and playing sidekick to this angel.
