My name is Swapneel Mehta and I am a postdoctoral associate at Boston University and MIT for 2023-25. I am the co-founder of a nonprofit, SimPPL working on rebuilding digital trust. I co-founded a startup incubated at MIT and UNICEF, focused on digital health literacy in India. I have been an Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leader, and Google Research Innovator, conducting research into platform governance and deploying real-world interventions to limit the effects of online misinformation.

Since 2017, I have trained students from the global majority to equip them to lead the Google and Mozilla award-winning projects I am now engaged in, with 10+ nonprofits and local newsrooms in India, Bangladesh, Mongolia, the US, UK, and Germany. I have worked at Twitter, Slack, Adobe, Oxford, Fortune 50 companies, startups, and CERN in various machine learning and data science roles (for details see my CV).
