Hi! Welcome to my personal website! My name is Dyuti, and I am an Assistant Professor of Organizational Communication. I hold a PhD in Communication with specializations in Organizational and Political Communication from the Brian Lamb School of Communication, Purdue University, where I was advised by Dr. Jeremy Foote. I am an alumnus of Community Data Science Collective, [a conglomerate of computational social scientists from the Univerisity of Washington, Purdue University, and Northwestern University with affiliates in several institutions, engaging in interdisciplinary research on HCI, Communication, HCDE, Information Science, etc. ] and Dr Bryce Dietrich's  Purdue Computational Social Science Lab.

My areas of interest are situated along three interrelated tracks: a) the organization and impact of online toxicity, tools, and moderation of online toxicity, b) the individual and organizational resilience, and c) computational communication research methods. 

In the first track, I am particularly interested in examining the role of sociotechnical systems in the organizing of online hate, and its impact on the users'  behavior. In other words, I am curious about why people organize and participate in online hate, and how do they persist in the face of challenges such as legal actions, deplatforming, etc. I am also interested in understanding how elements in online hate speech, such as the level of narrativity or the popularity of such speech influence their targets' willingness to speak out.

In the second track, I am interested in understanding how organizations and individuals enact resilience in the face of singular or recurring instances of adversity. In particular, I am interested in thinking and rethinking how we conceptualize resilience, and being resilient.

In the third track, I am interested in developing and practicing mixed-method research approaches combining computational and qualitative tools to provide rich insights combined with large-scale data analysis.
