I’m a PhD Candidate with Dr. Tanzeem Choudhury at Cornell Tech. I’m currently working with the wonderful people at People-Aware Computing Lab.

I focus on developing mindless interventions that can facilitate emotion regulation with minimal attention from the users. I take inspirations from cognitive neuroscience, build devices, design behavioral experiments, and deploy!

In the past, I’ve worked with the iMed group led by Dr. Wanda Pratt, the Ubiquitous Computing group led by Dr. Shwetak Patel, the neuroscience-y labs and Invention Studio in Georgia Tech, and Meta Reality Labs.
