About Me
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 AI 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.
In summer 2025, I was a visiting student researcher at Stanford HAI, working on the intersection of Agentic AI and design.
As a mixed-method researcher, I build and evaluate computational systems to support how people think, work together, and co-create with AI.
I draw on social and cognitive science theories to guide the design of these tools. In my current research projects, I am studying how generative models can be leveraged to enhance group sensemaking, creativity, and accessibility. I am also working on building accessibility tools for knowledge workers who have low vision and are blind .
​
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.
\
I am open to mentoring undergrads/masters students for CS Ph.D. programs. If you feel like you lack exposure and experience, Please send me an email.

Organized a Paper Swap Workshop for CSCW


ACM Collective Intelligence Conference


Presented the research from my first year “GigSense: An LLM-Infused Tool for Workers’ Collective Intelligence.”. We built a platform to study sense-making and collective intelligence for knowledge gig workers.
​
ACM Europe Summer School



Attended ACM Europe Summer School at the University of Luxembourg in Luxembourg. I also presented my research on LLM based approach for sensemaking and collective intelligence.
CSCW 2023

Attending CSCW 23 and presenting my position paper on “Fostering Pluralism in Computer Science, especially in Generative AI.” We also pondered upon how to engage diverse stakeholders in research and methodological challenges in conducting diverse research.
NSF Future of Work at Human-Technology Frontier


Presenting my research work at NSF Future of Work at Human-Technology Frontier.
