Saloni Bhogale, the 2026 David Swanson Award recipient, presents her research on legal institutions in the developing world at Throughput Computing Week 2026. Using high-throughput computing resources at UW-Madison’s CHTC, she analyzed 80 million Indian judicial records to study barriers to court access, work that would have taken 15 years on a laptop. Her findings show that adding council members to village governments increases case filings by 51%, revealing a direct link between local democracy and access to justice.
