Pranjli Khanna

Hi, I’m Pranjli. I’m a Data Scientist at Carnegie Learning, working at the intersection of data, technology, and education. I build predictive models, design & validate assessments, and study how student behaviors relate to learning outcomes.

My work combines methods from psychometrics, data science, and machine learning to make sense of complex student data and create tools that help teachers and learners.

I’m especially interested in the ways AI can make education more personalized and equitable—whether through affect detection, intelligent assessments, or large-scale analytics pipelines. To me, the most exciting part of data science is not just building models, but uncovering meaningful patterns that can have a real impact on people’s lives.

Outside of work, I’ve always been curious and multi-passionate. You can usually find me running or doing yoga, experimenting in the kitchen, or curled up with a good book.

Thanks for stopping by—I’d love to connect, collaborate, or just chat.
