Bio

Welcome!

I am Krisha Mehta, a first year PhD student at the Computer Science department at the University of Chicago. I am advised by Prof. Alex Kale at the Data Cognition Lab. I am interested in studying how visualizations can help people reason about uncertainty and drive their decision-making.

Apart from that, I love to buy and read books (yes, those are two separate hobbies) and can cook a mean daal makhani. Occasionally, I summarize research papers on a blog called Computers, Papers and Everything.

My CV is available here.
