Eshwar Chandrasekharan
I am an Assistant Professor in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science @ University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
I study how technology shapes what people create, curate, and consume online.
My research intersects with Social Computing, Computational Social Science, HCI, NLP, and Human-Centered AI.
Here's a link to my Google Scholar and my CV.
More info about current projects are on my lab's webpage.
