Hi! It's me, Sushrita Rakshit 👋

Thanks for stopping by! I am a first-year PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, where I am advised by Kristina Gligorić. I earned my BSE in Computer Science from University of Michigan, where I worked with Prof. David Jurgens in the Blablablab and collaborated with Prof. Jonathan Gratch at the University of Southern California. During my gap year, I collaborated with Prof. Hua Shen at New York University and worked as a software and machine learning engineer at Verizon.

I'm interesting in AI's role in human data. We can analyze data (survey humans) or mock it (simulate humans). Similarly, we can even permute, translate, and transpose data (HCI and SocialNLP). I center my work around this core allegory.

Outside of research, I'm an avid cook and cat lover. I've fostered 3 cats during my gap year, and I have a long-term goal of fostering 100 cats in my lifetime. I'm also an avid photographer (with my iPhone 16). Here's my digital scrapbook.
