I am a Ph.D. student in the Human-Centred Technology Research Centre at University of Canberra, Australia, since February 2021. I am advised by Dr. Ibrahim Radwan, Prof. Roland Goecke, and Dr. Ramanathan Subramanian. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and affective computing.

As an Affective Computing researcher, I develop computer vision algorithms for inferring dimensional human emotions from facial images and videos. My dissertation focuses on implementing novel algorithms for in-the-wild video data with limited number of samples. My previous work includes analysing emotional impairment in Parkinson Disease patients using EEG signals. I also worked on the explainable (X-AI) personality and multimodal behavioural cues for hireability prediction. I have a Masters in Mathematics, with focus on Graph Theory, and theoretical and computational Fluid Mechanics.
