Saurabh Khanna

I am an assistant professor of communication science at the University of Amsterdam, and a research associate at Pembroke College, University of Oxford. I study the diversity and limits of human knowledge in an increasingly digitized world. Ongoing projects include:

• the invisible lab: developing methods to quantify diversity and invisibility in digital information
  • invisibility in entertainment media using film/tv/music corpora
  • invisibility in political media using news corpora
• pictopercept: innovative bias assessment through 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.
