Hi, welcome to my website! :)

I'm a Ph.D. candidate from the Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I completed my Masters in the same discipline in September 2022. I completed my Bachelor's in Information Technology from Mumbai University, India.

My research interests lie in studying and understanding driving behavior with respect to the use of advanced driver assistance systems. In the broadest sense, my research focuses on studying the correlation between distracted driving and the use of automated vehicle systems. How human drivers interact with automated safety features and how that changes their driving behavior is something I've always been deeply interested in. Driver behavioral adaptation to distraction and in-vehicle safety features is my primary interest. I'm currently involved in multiple projects studying the same as a member of the Pradhan Research Group at the Human Performance Lab, University of Massachusetts.
