I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech, where I am advised by Dr. Kurt Luther in the Crowd Intelligence Lab . Prior to joining grad school, I was a Software Engineer at Microsoft for two and a half years. I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Jadavpur University, India.
In my research, I take a mixed-methods approach that combines my skills in software development and human-computer interaction. The work entails the design and evaluation of sociotechnical systems that support expert-led crowdsourcing and collaboration. Overall, I am interested in human-AI interaction projects that aim to augment the work practices of experts.

Human-AI Interaction Course project 2021
We design a notebook to allow the user to upload an image of a person and modify the pose of that person by dragging and dropping body joints.
We use CoCosNet-v2 to synthesize the image of the reposed person. We use OpenPose to extract the pose of the person. We use IPython widgets to enable interaction with the extracted pose.
