I am currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University College London(UCL), UK. I am an alumnus of Touch lab at IIT Madras. I was working as a postdoctoral equivalent fellow (Feb-Aug 2021) after submitting my PhD thesis (Jan 2017 to Jul 2021) under the guidance of Prof. Manivannan M. Touch lab at IIT Madras provided me opportunities to pursue multi-disciplinary research that involve Human Haptics, Psychophysics, Modelling and Simulation, Computational Neuroscience, Virtual reality, and VR-based Rehabilitation. I gained very good experience in the design and implementation of user studies, specifically to understand human perception and Human-Computer Interactions that involve haptics.
