Sagar is a Ph.D. student at the Northeastern University Network Science Institute in Boston, MA. They are a member of the Communication and Media Marginalization Lab at Northeastern University, and a research affiliate with Majumder Lab at Boston Children Hospital’s Center for Health informatics. With a combined undergraduate degree in physics and philosophy, Sagar’s research attends primarily to information, language, and communication. Their work broadly investigates the relationship between context and information in language, and how that effects individual sentence construction, interpersonal communication , and population-level knowledge. Being in part a media and communication scholar, and having led panel discussions on the necessity of researchers to partner with journalists, Sagar is passionate about the role science communication as one of the primary methods by which academic research is able to stay in dialogue with the people and problems of the modern world. Outside of research, Sagar spends most of their time doing yoga, preparing and playing DJ sets, and learning how to sew.
