Top SchoolArti Thakur is a Senior Researcher and PhD in Communication with eight years of experience bridging computational social science, HCI, and applied AI to study how people actually interact with systems beyond standard benchmark metrics. Based in Iowa and trained at UC Davis and KAIST, she has designed mixed-method experiments on social platforms, built a novel regression framework for methodological publications, and translated behavioral features into accurate personality predictions using machine learning. Her background spans industry and academia—from Samsung product analytics and Android development to quantitative roles at startups—giving her a rare blend of product-focused impact and rigorous research. She also mentors teams and teaches, bringing pedagogical design and active-learning practices into research training.
