About Me

PhD Candidate at Cornell Tech working in the small data lab and advised by Deborah Estrin, Nicki Dell and Tanzeem Choudhury. I am also a doctoral fellow at DLI. My research focuses on a multi-stakeholder approach to designing behavior change interventions for under-served communities—in the US and in ''developing'' countries.

Broadly, my research interests are in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), information and communication technologies for development (ICTD), and behavioral sciences.
