Hi, I am a 2nd-year PhD student at the Exertion Games Lab, Monash University, Australia. I am advised by Prof. Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller and Prof. Elise van den Hoven. My research is around building and evaluating user experiences for bodily extensions that promote embodiment across everday life.

My research interest span across soft exoskeletons, embodied interaction, novel interactions and wearables at large. Previosly, I worked as a research intern/assistant at Microsoft Research India and Weave Lab, IIIT-Delhi.

In my spare time I enjoy hacking hardware, playing and watching sports, and hiking.
