"Simplicity is the ultimate sophestication." - Leonardo da Vinci

I am an undergraduate student at University of South Florida majoring in Computer Science. I am researching at the Affective Computing & Computer Vision lab, advised by Dr. Shaun Canavan . My research examines Human-AI collaboration in stressful envirnments, deciphering the construct of loneliness with a focus on interplay of loneliness with emotions and various socio economic metrics.
I am fascinated by the idea of emotion regulation via sensory modalities like using touch, music, and/or aroma for therapeutic purposes.

You can find my CV here, research on Google Scholar and latest thoughts on Twitter.
