I am a Principal Researcher at Fujitsu Research America working in the area of Human-AI Interaction. I build Human-AI systems where I design or redesign applications to enable higher productivity and creativity via the use of the latest AI models and techniques, and solve the inherent user-centric challenges in bringing these techniques to end-users. Previously, I worked as a Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research for four years where I built intelligent multimodal interactions for augmented and virtual reality. I use a wide range of techniques including machine learning, sensing, computational optimization, and human factors.

Prior to this, I did a postdoctoral stint at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo. I did my PhD from University of Toronto in the area of wearable device interaction where I was advised by Prof. Ravin Balakrishnan. My work has resulted in 30+ publications at top-tier HCI venues such as CHI and UIST including four Honorable Mention Awards. Prior to my PhD, I researched technologies for social development where I worked in collaboration with Microsoft Research India.
