Hi, I'm Anjishnu!

I am a Ph.D. student in CS at George Mason.

I research how meaning is represented across cultures and modalities, with a focus on aligning, editing, and evaluating these representations. My work also addresses social and linguistic biases, and I develop localized models aimed at practical, culturally grounded applications.

Please feel free to get in touch!
