Dr Saurabh Khanna

Dr Nigel James Junior Research Fellow in Education Data Science and Statistical Methods

I'm a Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College and a member of the Centre for Research in Education at Oxford (CredOx). My research at CredOx involves adopting an interdisciplinary, data-driven approach to unravel the complexities of access, inclusion, and attainment within top-tier higher education institutions. With a focus on leading research universities, especially those within the Russell Group and Oxford and Cambridge, I identfy factors determining the success of access programmes, university extension schemes, and other initiatives designed to boost the enrolment of talented individuals from diverse backgrounds.

In addition to my work with CredOx, a second dimension of my research delves into understanding and quantifying the boundaries of human knowledge in our digital age. I'm currently exploring the 'incompleteness' of digital information and its impact on human behaviour, the intersection of evidence and entertainment through 'misinfotainment', and the disparities present in online occupation imagery and entertainment media. My academic journey led me to earn a PhD in education policy with a minor in computer science from Stanford University. During my time there, I was honoured to be a Human-centered AI Fellow, a Stanford Data Science Scholar, and a William R and Sara Hart Kimball Fellow. My foundational studies encompassed computer science engineering at BITS Pilani, economics at Stanford, and education at TISS Mumbai.
