I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics in the Ying Wu College of Computing at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. 

My research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) examines inclusive and responsible design of technology for and with underrepresented populations. Adopting human-centered approaches, we explore how technologies can better support and represent people of diverse ages and abilities. My research has been published at top-tier HCI venues including ACM CHI, CSCW, DIS, and TOCHI and recognized with best paper and honorable mention awards. It is supported by the National Science Foundation and VentureWell. 

I received my Ph.D. from University of Maryland, College Park.  Before joining NJIT, I was a user experience researcher in the Central Social Impact team at Meta Platforms, Inc. I have a Masters in HCI from University of Maryland, College Park and Bachelors in Industrial Design from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, (India).
