PhD Student, Human-Computer Interaction @ CMU HCII
<aside> 👋🏽 I’m a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University (HCII, School of Computer Science), where I am thankful to be advised by Sauvik Das at the Spud Lab. In my PhD, I am focussing on building intelligent agents for security and privacy. Though established as a critical field, security and privacy are often a secondary concern, an afterthought for users. I aim to creatively leverage intelligent and emerging technologies to help users approach critical decisions more thoughtfully (UIST’24 Demo). Prior to joining CMU, I graduated in Computer Science and Design from IIIT Delhi, India, where I was advised by Aman Parnami at Weave Lab. I studied and built solutions to counteract dark patterns in smartphone overuse and binge-watching (DIS’24 Provocation, DIS’22). I also interned at the iLab, University of Calgary, Canada, under Ryo Suzuki, where we explored concepts towards the vision of seamlessly blending the physical and virtual worlds (UIST’22, UIST’23, CHI’23).

I enjoy crafting compelling tools that explore novel concepts for interesting application areas, leveraging emerging technologies in creative ways.
