Research Interests: Sensing Systems, Mobile Computing, and Interaction Systems
I am a researcher on the MIND team at Apple. I received my CS Ph.D. student from Stony Brook University, working with Shubham Jain at the intersection of Ubiquitous Sensing and Health Systems in the PiCASSo lab. I have worked on around-the-ear devices. I spent the summer of 2025 with Microsoft Research, Redmond, in the Networking Research Group. My research has been awarded by Stony Brook University and covered by the Economic Times, Outlook, Financial Express, and The Hindu.
Before starting my Ph.D., I worked with Nipun Batra as a Research Fellow at IIT, Gandhinagar, to develop systems for continuous lung health monitoring. In 2018 along with my team, I developed Air Cognizer, an Android application for predicting Air Quality Index (AQI) via smartphone camera images, advised by Aakanksha Chowdhery.
