Eshwar Chandrasekharan

I am an Assistant Professor in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I study how digital environments shape human behavior and build systems to make them healthier and safer. My research spans Human‑Centered AI, AI Safety, NLP, Social Computing, and Computational Social Science. I lead the SCUBA Lab, where we build NLP and human-centered AI systems that make online spaces safer, audit how AI systems and algorithms shape what people see, and study how to foster healthier online behavior.
