I am an Assistant Professor in Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam, and a Research Associate at the University of Oxford (Pembroke College). I leverage machine learning and information retrieval to study the diversity and limits of human knowledge in an increasingly digitized world. Ongoing projects include:
- The (In)visible Lab: developing methods to quantify diversity and invisibility in digital information
- invisibility in entertainment media using IMDb and MovieDb corpora
- invisibility in political media using news corpora
- invisibility in scientific knowledge using Dimensions and OpenAlex
- PictoPercept: innovating bias assessment through pairwise visual wikisurveys
- Studying diversity in global occupation imagery using Google Images and ILO reports
- Scientometric analyses of communication and media studies
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, cooking experiments, and playing sidekick to this angel.
