About

I am a PhD Candidate in GCCIS at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and work at Sappi-RIT Digital Innovation Lab. I am advised by Konstantinos Papangelis who is also a lab director at Niantic x RIT Geo Games and Media Research Lab and Vassilis-Javed Khan who is UX scientist at Sappi Belgium.

My research focus includes designing and evaluating visual analytics tools with user-centered design in work settings. My work advocates for coordinated machine learning experience for real-world decision-making processes building upon core principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I also investigate and evaluate the UX of Human-AI Interactions.

I have masters and bachelors in software engineering. I am experienced in software development, data science, and visual analytics.

I am from a beautiful place on earth Mirpur Kashmir
