Dipto Das

Dr. Dipto Das is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, affiliated with the Faculty of Information. His research focuses on examining the socio-technical impacts and biases of algorithmic systems and AI infrastructures, with a particular emphasis on low-resource languages and applications in the Global South. His work aims to advance theoretical development and design responsible, context-sensitive algorithmic systems. Using an interdisciplinary approach, he integrates knowledge from Computer Science, Information Science, and Human-Computer Interaction, employing mixed methods and participatory strategies to investigate algorithmic bias, governance policies, and ethical questions. His research has been published in top-tier international conferences such as ACM CHI and CSCW, earning several Best Paper Honorable Mentions. Dipto’s work also delves into culture, discourse, and power across multiple platforms, focusing on community-driven interaction and ethical AI development. His academic background includes a PhD and MS in Information Science from the University of Colorado, as well as degrees in Computer Science from Missouri State University and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
