Welcome to my space! 

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Cognitive Science Department in IIT Kanpur, India. In the past, I was a Post Doctoral Fellow at Educational Technology, IIT Bombay. As a passionate educationist and science education researcher, I am deeply interested in understanding the process of learning. The journey of learning about a concept from being exposed to it for the first time is marked with several milestones that fade into the background once we know the concept. My focus as a learning sciences researcher is to extract those conceptual milestones from the learning process, identify and make explicit the underlying cognitive strategies, and connect them with learning outcomes. I, further, use this linkage between the processes and the outcomes to design efficient pedagogical resources. I use both qualitative and quantitative methods to identify and explain the trajectory of learning.
