About

I am a researcher in the Technology and Empowerment (TEM) group (opens in new tab) at Microsoft Research India (opens in new tab). Broadly, I explore the introduction of emerging technologies to new populations, by developing ubiquitous computing systems, designing interaction techniques, and collecting and analyzing data. Over the past decade, I have worked on technological solutions for the developing regions focusing on Health, Sustainability, Education and Agriculture.

Currently, I am developing end-to-end system providing low-cost smartphone-based patient diagnostic solutions for critical diseases.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington (opens in new tab), working at the intersection of HCI and AI, focusing on extending interactivity, accessibility and security of conversational systems. While pursuing my Ph.D., I also worked as a Senior Research Engineer in the Cognitive IoT team at IBM Research India (opens in new tab). Prior to that, I graduated with a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Toronto (opens in new tab), and a Bachelors in Information and Communication Technology from DA-IICT (opens in new tab).
