About Me

I am a software engineer working at Informatica R&D on UI platform development. I obtained a PhD in computer science from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a focus on human-computer interaction and health informatics.

Research Overview

My research lies in the areas of Human-Computer Interaction, Health Informatics, and Pervasive Computing. In particular, I am interested in exploring how various qualitative and quantitative HCI techniques can be applied to design innovative and intuitive mobile, tablet, and desktop applications. For example, using an iterative participatory design approach, I designed a Personal Health Application for older adults to manage medications and other health-related tasks. Details about my different research projects can be found here.

Education

Ph.D., Computer Science, University of Colorado Boulder, 2013
M.S., Computer Science, University of Colorado Boulder, 2008
B.E., Computer and Information Systems Engineering, NED University of Engineering and Technology, 2005
