Shravika Mittal

Bio

I am a second-year CS Ph.D. student at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Munmun De Choudhury in the Social Dynamics and Wellbeing (SocWeB) Lab. Broadly, my research interests are in Social Computing and Natural Language Processing. Stemming from these disciplines, I wish to understand how and why technology-mediated interactions, on online platforms and AI-powered systems, occur using computational analysis and theories of social engagement. My ongoing work explores how engagements with socio-technical systems impact people's perceptions about different topics of discussion. I am honored to be supported by the Quad Fellowship.

Prior to starting my Ph.D., my work with Dr. Munmun De Choudhury uncovered the stigmatization of marginalized communities, such as survivors of gender-based violence or those with a mental health disorder, in mass communication and social media. I also interned at Adobe Research with Kanak Mahadik, Ryan Rossi, and Sungchul Kim on GPU instance recommendation for deep learning training workloads.
