Hi, I'm Saumik!

I'm currently a Research Scientist at Meta NYC on the Instagram Trust & Safety team. I'm working on deploying AI systems to automatically flag content violations.

Previously, I was a PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis, where I worked on the AI-Assisted Decision Making. Some of my research topics included:

• Efficient algorithms for imitating low-skill human behavior (NeurIPS 2026)
• Personalized intervention strategies for improving human decision making (RLC 2026)
• Analyzing human usage of AI assistance in ethical domains (AIES 2022, AIES 2023)

Outside of work, I enjoy playing board games, climbing, pickleball, traveling, and cooking. I'm also a strong advocate for improving our cities, especially in the areas of public transit and housing affordability.
