I am a second-year master's student at Carnegie Mellon University (Robotics Institute, School of Computer Science). I am co-advised by Prof. Jeffrey Bigham and Prof. Aaron Steinfeld in the Accessibility at CMU group. I am interested in Artificial Intelligence and Human-Computer Interaction.

Previously, I was a research fellow at Microsoft Research India, where I worked in Technology and Empowerment. Prior to that, I graduated with distinct honors from Delhi Technological University, India.
