I am a Research Scientist at ASAPP, where I study how people interact with conversational AI systems. My research focuses on understanding, measuring, and improving the quality of human-AI conversations. Broadly, I am interested in questions such as: What makes a conversation with an AI feel successful? When do users feel understood? Where do conversations break down, and how can conversational agents recover effectively? My work draws on insights from cognitive science, psycholinguistics, and human-computer interaction to help build more effective and user-centered AI systems.

Before joining ASAPP, I completed my PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in the supervision of Samar Husain. My doctoral research focused on language processing, examining how humans plan and structure speech in real time. Using a combination of psycholinguistic experiments and large-scale corpus analyses, I investigated how grammatical structure and cognitive constraints shape language production.
