Since 2009, I have been a part of the Saarbrucken Graduate School of Computer Science.
Currently, I am working at MPI-SWS in the Networked Systems group with Dr. Krishna Gummadi as my adivsor.
My research focuses on studying the impact of offline boundaries like national/politcal, geographical, cultural and linguistic boundaries on the user interactions and behaviour on Online Social Networks.
I am a recipient of the Google European Doctoral Fellowship in Social Networking and my research is supported by the fellowship.

Projects
- Geographic Dissection of the Twitter Network
Geography plays an important role in shaping societal interactions in the offline world. However, as more and more social interactions occur online via social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, users can interact with others unconstrained by their geolocations, raising the question: does offline geography still matter in online social networks? We attempt to address this question by dissecting the Twitter social network based on users' geolocations and investigating how users' geolocation impacts their participation in Twitter, including their connections to others and the information they exchange with them.
- Characterizing Information Trade on Twitter
This is an ongoing project where we are studying how Twitter users trade information with other users both within and across national boundaries. This is the first attempt towards understanding how the offline boundaries manifest themselves on the online world.
