I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, where I work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Human-Computer Interaction. I am advised by Professor Saiph Savage. My evolving research interests are in Human-AI Interaction, FutureOfWork, Social Computing, and Accessibility.  

​

As a mixed-method researcher, I build and evaluate computational systems to address complex problems related to Sensemaking, Collaboration, and Collective Intelligence. I have experience with pretraining, fine-tuning LLM and VLM, and building RAG pipelines. 

I draw on social and cognitive science theories to guide the design of these tools. In my current research projects, I am studying how LLMs can be leveraged to enhance group sensemaking and collective intelligence processes. I am also working on building accessibility tools for low-vision and blind knowledge workers. 

​

During my undergraduate, I also worked as a Research Assistant intern at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-Madras) and Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore (IIM-B).

​

Before joining the Ph.D. program, I built my social enterprise, Majdoors, an online gig platform for unorganized construction gig workers in India.​

​

I serve as chair of the ACM SIGCHI Boston chapter and am also affiliated with the Global Action Policy Initiative (GAP) at Northeastern University.
