I am a Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Zoe Falomir at the Department of Computing Science. I received my Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur under the supervision of Prof. Nisheeth Srivastava. My research spans AI in healthcare, human biomechanics, reinforcement learning, and cognitive systems. I was also a Research Scholar at Rice University as a Mehta Rice Engineering Scholar (Sept–Dec 2024) under Dr. Vaibhav Unhelkar, where I worked on human task analysis. In my Ph.D., I developed intelligent AI trainers that model physical and mental states for task execution and healthcare diagnostics. I am also interested in using games to understand human decision-making.
At Umeå University, I work on developing systems to solve spatial problems creatively and train users' skills.
