Hi! I research the online platforms and personalization. I am
                interested in understanding how social media platforms shape our
                beliefs—specifically the content curation algorithms, online
                communities and moderation strategies within. 
                
                I recently defended my PhD! During my PhD I worked with 
                Dr. Rachel Greenstadt 
                as a research associate at the PSAL lab @ NYU, with 
                Dr. Rishab Nithyanand 
                as his PhD student @ University of Iowa, and I am also a member of 
                Center for Publics, Platforms & Personalization.
                
                Currently, I am relaxing.
