Academic interests
Neha's doctoral project studies how AI-generated creative outputs represent political subjectivities of marginalised communities and how different audience groups interpret and engage with such outputs. The project specifically examines how generative AI models shape political visibility in creative domains, and how consumers’ perceptions of AI-generated content affect democratic and cultural participation. This project is part of UiO's AI:Democracy group.

She worked for a year in the tech industry, training GenAI models, and now combines her interests in her ongoing research in how AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs) shape the political visibility of marginalised communities through creative expression.
