I am a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, where I work at the intersection of Human-Centered AI. I am advised by Professor Saiph Savage. My research sits at the intersection of Human-AI Interaction, the societal impacts of generative AI on knowledge workers, and workplace technologies.
I draw on social and cognitive science theories to guide the design and development of AI systems. In my current research projects, I am studying how generative AI can be leveraged to enhance group sensemaking, creativity, and accessibility.
During my undergraduate, I also worked as a Research Assistant 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.
