Hi, I'm Ashish Sharma

I’m a Senior Applied Scientist at the Microsoft Office of Applied Research. My research focuses on developing human-AI collaboration systems. My work explores ways to model and understand the behaviors and skills of both humans and AI systems, combining techniques from natural language processing, reinforcement learning, data science, psychology, and mental health.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Tim Althoff. My work has been recognized with an outstanding paper award from ACL, the best paper award from The Web Conference, and the JP Morgan Chase AI Research PhD Fellowship. Also, my work has been deployed in the real-world by Mental Health America.
