Hello! I am Bhavya Chopra, a first year CS PhD student at the EPIC Data Lab, advised by Prof. Aditya Parameswaran at University of California, Berkeley. I am interested in designing and building interactive systems to support data science workflows.
Previously, I was a Research Fellow with the PROSE Team at Microsoft, advised by Dr. Austin Z. Henley, Dr. Gustavo Soares, Dr. Chris Parnin, Dr. Anna Fariha, and Dr. Ashish Tiwari. My work focused on identifying challenges in conversational and recommendation-based AI systems for data science; and exploring agent-based frameworks to enable collaborative debugging with LLMs.
Before that, I completed my bachelors in Computer Science and Design engineering (with honors) from IIIT-Delhi in 2022. I developed interfaces for inclusive and immersive storytelling experiences for children with visual impairments with Prof. Richa Gupta, and also learnt program analysis techniques to understand the use of assertions in Java open-source repositories with Prof. Rahul Purandare.

TechTree: Course Repository for IIIT-Delhi
Designed, developed, and hosted TechTree for the academic department and faculty at IIIT-Delhi to maintain and share descriptions of over 350 courses with students. TechTree enables 3000+ students every semester to plan their courses through visualization of course pre-requisites via interactive tables and directed acyclic graphs.
