I am a 4th-year PhD Candidate in Operations Research at Georgia Tech ISyE, advised by Dr. Juba Ziani. My research interests lie at the intersection of OR-CS-Econ. In particular, I work on decision-making problems with humans in the loop, with specific emphasis on strategic behavior, privacy and fairness. [research statement]*
Some key aspects of my current work involve: i) design of mechanisms/markets for responsibly collecting and transacting data; ii) studying the benefits and harms of AI-assisted decision making; and iii) understanding long-term fairness in resource allocation in dynamical systems and designing interventions for the same. I am also actively interested in mechanism design for the LLM-disrupted future! For example, see these two papers which I love [1][2].
Support: I am grateful to have been supported in the past by the Stewart Fellowship, the Jerry & Harriett Thuesen PhD Fellowship and the ARC-ACO Fellowship!
Note: My first name is derived from two Bangla words 'deep/দীপ' (source of light) and 'ansh/অংশ' (portion/fragment) which put together, mean 'fragment of light'. However, given that it is significantly hard to say (and I feel physical pain when it is butchered), for all practical purposes, I prefer to be called Sen.

[10 Feb 2026] We have a new paper out which studies whether fully decentralized data-sharing coalitions, where players can choose both participation and privacy levels, are viable or not. Read it here!
[28 Jan, 2026] I recently joined the EAAMO Bridges Inequality group !
[15 Jan, 2026] We have a new (and massively updated) version of an old paper out! Read it here!
[18 Sep, 2025] Our strategic classification paper is now accepted at NeurIPS 2025 :)
[22 Mar 2026] I am giving a talk at the INFORMS Optimization Society Conference 2026. Detailed schedule here.
[10 Apr 2026] I am giving a long format talk at the ISyE PhD student seminar on our recent paper on stable data coalitions --- To Share or Not to Share: That is the (DP) Question! My advisor is also giving a series of talks covering this paper at the MIT-ORC on Mar 5 (link) and the Apple Privacy Workshop on Mar 12.
