Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSachita Nishal is a doctoral student at Northwestern University who builds human-centered AI systems to support journalists and other knowledge workers in search, information-seeking, and creative discovery. With nine years of research experience and publications at CSCW, FAccT, CHI and ICWSM, she prototypes, fine-tunes, and evaluates model pipelines combining classical ML and large language models and validates designs through user studies. Her work uniquely blends computational modeling of domain-specific documents (e.g., scientific papers) with careful attention to professional and ethical values in newsroom practice. Past internships at Microsoft Research and collaborations across computational social science and creative network modeling show she can translate network- and language-focused methods into real-world tools. Based in Evanston, she brings both technical depth and a theatrical background in directing, which surfaces in her emphasis on storytelling and human-centered interaction design.
