About

I'm a researcher and tech entrepreneur, currently a Q Entrepreneurial Fellow at the Querrey InQbation Lab (The Q), part of Innovation and New Ventures (INVO) at Northwestern University, where I'm building AstraClips. Previously, I was a Postdoc Fellow at Emory School of Medicine with Dr. Hyeok Kwon. I received my PhD from the School of Engineering & Science at Stevens Institute of Technology, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Dr. Sang Won Bae. My research focuses on applying my knowledge in applied machine learning and affective computing to problems across ubiquitous computing, mental health sensing and interaction techniques.

Before commencing my Ph.D, I graduated with a Bachelors in Technology from IIIT Guwahati, with a major in Computer Science Engineering. As an undergraduate, I worked on multiple research projects under the guidance of Dr. Ferdous Ahmed Barbhuiya, and Dr. Kuntal Dey, among others.
