Pen name 'Sophie Srishti'

I am Associate Professor and Head of the Department of English & Cultural Studies and Department of Languages at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus. With a passion for language, literature, and linguistics, I supervise PhD scholars and design interdisciplinary curricula that blend language, literature, linguistics, NLP, gender studies, cinema, psychology and Digital Humanities. My research interests span NLP, theoretical linguistics, and the intersections of literature with psychology and gender. I have authored two books, The Lexicon-Syntax Interface: Perspectives from South Asian Languages and Hindi Verb Classes & Their Argument Structure Alternations. I have presented papers and published several articles in reputed journals and conferences, including Springer, Routledge, and John Benjamins.

I am committed to continual learning, with certifications in digital humanities, psychology, and storytelling. In fact, I have been instrumental in initiating the MA English with Digital Humanities program at my institution! I have attended numerous conferences, workshops, and faculty development programs, including those organized by IITs, CIIL, and international universities. Outside academia, I am a creative writer, nature enthusiast, and proud feline parent. I enjoy music, photography, and storytelling, which bring a unique perspective to my research and teaching. I've published two books, Nestled in Love, a story anthology, and Seasons in Love, a poetry collection, which explore themes of love, relationships, and self-discovery. I am a member of several learned societies, including FOSSSIL, and serve on the editorial board of international journals. I am proficient in MS Office and have qualified UGC NET in Linguistics. My language proficiency includes English, Hindi-Urdu, Bhojpuri, and Sanskrit.

Let us connect and explore the world of digital humanities, language, literature, and linguistics together!
