Hi, I'm Sachita, and I design interactive, user-centered interfaces that leverage AI and ML to support journalists in their day-to-day tasks, in service of broader decision-making about what information makes the news. I'm a 4th-year PhD @ Northwestern University, where I'm advised by Dr. Nick Diakopoulos . Before this, I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering at BITS Pilani's beautiful Goa campus .
I'm looking for research internships for Summer 2024! Please get in touch if my work sounds relevant/interesting/fun! I'd love to chat!
My research leverages methods and approaches from HCI, NLP and ML to explore, build, and evaluate intelligent interfaces that can incorporate journalistic values, influence professional practices, and support the societal and ethical responsibilities of the profession.
