Hi, I'm Om Dobariya, and I'm a curious person who likes exploring and learning different things.😀

I study how language shapes intelligent systems—and what those systems mean for business and society.

Selected research / 2025–26

Questions worth
chasing.

My research examines how linguistic cues shape AI performance, computational cost, and the ways organizations can use intelligent systems responsibly.

The person behind the prompts

Curiosity doesn’t stay
inside a single discipline.

I am a fully funded PhD student in Information Systems at Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, focused on Artificial Intelligence.

My interests span large language model behavior, prompt engineering, responsible AI, public policy, and enterprise systems. Outside research, I travel, stargaze, read classics, and walk until the trail becomes interesting.
