About Me

Hello! I am Amreeta, a PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of California, Merced. I develop and apply deep learning and generative AI to answer social science questions. In my job market paper, I use computer vision and explainable AI to examine systematic differences in visual content strategies between India’s ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other national parties. More broadly, I study how political actors adapt their strategies to new technologies and how those shifts shape mobilization, democratic governance, and public opinion.

I manage the Political Economy of Agricultural and Rural Societies (PEARS) Lab, a computational social science lab focused on natural experiments, machine learning, and geospatial methods. I hold a BSc in Politics and International Relations from the University of Bristol (UK).
