About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Technology Management and Innovation at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, working under the supervision of Prof. Oded Nov since September 2022.

Before joining NYU, I was an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Department of Computer Science at Union College, Schenectady, USA between September 2021 to August 2022.

I completed my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, USA, in August 2021 under the guidance of Prof. Aaron Striegel and Prof. Ronald Metoyer.

My research falls within the realms of human-computer interaction (HCI) and information visualization. I am generally interested in designing user interfaces and applying human-centered methods to understand people and their interactions with technology and visualizations.

I have a Master’s degree in Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing from Lancaster University, UK and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore, India.
