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
My research examines how linguistic cues shape AI performance, computational cost, and the ways organizations can use intelligent systems responsibly.
Does tone alter LLM performance?
A multi-model investigation of whether—and how—tonal variations produce systematic differences in accuracy across subjects and reasoning modes.
Tone-dependent inference in large language models
An exploration of the relationship between prompt tone, answer accuracy, and the computational cost reflected in output-token consumption.
Evaluating LLMs for process model analysis
A comparative framework measuring how four large language models detect errors, reason about workflows, and improve BPMN process models.

The person behind the prompts
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.
