I'm a research fellow working with Bill Thies at the Technologies for Emerging Markets group in Microsoft Researh India. Prior to this, I graduated with a masters from both Universite Paris-Sud and TU-Berlin.
During my masters, I worked as a research assistant and finished my thesis with Prof. Patrick Baudisch and Stefanie Mueller in the HCI lab at Hasso-Plattner Institut. I also interned at several other interesting research labs such as work practice technology group at Xerox Research, Analytics and visualization (Aviz) lab at INRIA-Saclay and in the Global Information Systems group at ETH Zurich.
My broad research area is Human–computer interaction. I am interested in understanding how interactive computing can meaningfully impact the lives of people who are marginalized and underserved in the society, e.g, how computing can affect areas like health and education for people living in developing regions, people with disability, etc.
