About me
I am an Assistant Professor of Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam, and a Research Associate at Pembroke College, University of Oxford. My research is aimed at quantifying the limits of human knowledge in an increasingly digitized world. Some of my ongoing projects include:
- quantifying diversity and incompleteness in information on the internet
- studying diversity in global occupation imagery using Google Images and ILO reports
- studying diversity in entertainment media using the IMDb corpus
- scientometric analyses of communication and media studies
- ‘misinfotainment’ and the blurring lines between political and entertainment communication
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.
