Ishan Malhotra

Ishan is a second-year undergraduate at the University of Chicago, studying Computer Science and Economics. He is interested in CS research and has worked on multiple interdisciplinary research projects related to image and text analysis over the past years. Apart from that, Ishan enjoys being in the outdoors - hiking, rowing, skiing, or scuba diving with friends.

Brought up in New Delhi, India, Ishan has grown up reading and watching many variations of the mythological epics like The Ramayana and The Mahabharat. Over the years, he has become cognizant of the cultural and gender biases embedded in those classic stories. He is very excited to work with MIIE Labs to understand the extent of these subliminal messages and their contribution to inequality in society with AI and deep learning.
