Academic & Professional Service
Service
Reviewing and organizing are how a field decides what counts as good work. I take the reviewing load seriously for the same reason I work on evaluation: the instruments a community uses to judge quality determine what it produces.

Jul 2021 – present
Speech and NLP Reading Group
Organizer · Microsoft Research India
A weekly lab-wide reading group on recent and classical work in speech and language processing, including arranging external speakers. Sustaining one for years is a teaching problem in its own right: choosing what a mixed-seniority room can productively read, and making it safe for the most junior person present to say they did not follow the paper.
Dec 2021 – present
Technology for Emerging Markets Reading Group
Organizer · Microsoft Research India
A weekly reading group on user-centered technology, selecting material for a mixed-seniority audience and hosting invited talks.
