I am a second-year undergraduate, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Human-Computer Interaction at  Carnegie Mellon University. I am passionate about ideas that lie at the intersection of caregiving/healthcare and technology. 

 

I am an undergraduate researcher at the Robotic Caregiving and Human Interaction Lab working with Professor Zackory Erikson on creating and evaluating assistive interfaces to control robots for people with motor impairments and older adults. Most recently, my paper won a Best Paper Award at the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Conference 2024. In high school, I published a paper on low-cost anaemia prediction technology using image processing and machine learning which was what piqued my interest in healthcare technology.

 

I am also the President of CMU Abhinaya, Carnegie Mellon University's competitive Indian classical dance team. I have been learning and performing Odissi for over 14 years and continue to do so through my involvement with CMU Abhinaya. I am passionate about equal access to menstrual products and reducing menstrual stigma which I pursued through my initiative Let's Talk Period, Period. I am also the Editor-in-Chief of The Scientific Teen.
