Biography

I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Vision. My research interests include human-robot interaction, gaze tracking, and deep learning applications in HCI.

Currently, I am conducting research at the CAIRO HCI Lab under Prof. Bradley Hayes, working on enhancing human intent recognition using POMDP-based algorithms and integrating vision-based learning techniques with the Sawyer Robotic Manipulator.

Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore under Prof. Pradipta Biswas, where I developed gaze tracking systems for automotive applications and implemented deep learning models for human-robot collaboration.

My work has been published in top-tier conferences including ACM IUI, IEEE ICRA, and AutomotiveUI. I am passionate about developing intelligent systems that enhance human-computer interaction and make technology more accessible and intuitive.
