Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAkriti Verma is a postdoctoral researcher based in Melbourne with a decade of experience bridging academic and industry settings to advance human–computer interaction at the intersection of emotion and AI. Currently completing a PhD in Digital Emotion Regulation, she applies machine learning and deep learning to design empathetic, evidence-based interventions that promote wellbeing and counteract emotional manipulation and toxic online cultures. Her interdisciplinary work spans psychology, communication studies, and data science, and she translates research into policy-relevant outputs for governments and NGOs addressing technology-facilitated abuse and support for SGBV survivors. With multilingual communication skills, international experience, and a track record of industry collaborations (including AI projects at TCS), she pairs rigorous analysis with practical system design. Notably, she is developing research that reconceptualises social media as an empathetic guardian—seeking early detection and intervention pathways that preserve personal agency and ethical inclusion.
