I am an Assistant Professor at the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), where I hold joint affiliations with the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering, as well as Human-Centered Design. My research is centered around empowering machines with adaptive and emotional interaction abilities, with a primary goal of improving the quality of life in health and social care domains.

At the core of my work is the exploration of interpretation algorithms and techniques that enable machines to infer knowledge about users' emotional and interaction states. This involves analyzing audio-visual, behavioral, and physiological signals to gain insights into user experiences. By developing computational models of human social intelligence, I aim to equip social robots with the ability to assist in the cognitive rehabilitation and diagnosis of developmental disorders, such as intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder.

In addition to my research endeavors, I am actively engaged in teaching various courses at IIIT-Delhi. These include Affective Computing, Machine Learning, and Social Robotics. As an educator, I find immense inspiration and learning opportunities in interacting with the bright minds of the younger generation, allowing me to further enrich my knowledge and stay attuned to emerging trends and perspectives in the field.
