Projects

My research discovered a significant oversight—technology is not designed to serve the unique necessities of people with disabilities. While it is typical to modify general-use technology
for better accessibility among individuals with disabilities, creating technology tailored to their
unique needs is rare. My long term research focuses on designing assistive technologies to address the unique needs of people with different disabilities. With my research I aim to democratize the access of technology.

Personal Informatics for People with Motor Disabilities

Personal informatics supports people from many backgrounds and life contexts in collecting and finding value in their personal data. This project aims to understand how to design Personal informatics tools for people with Motor Disabilities.

Designing for Improved Autonomy in Technology Adoption and Interaction

My research explored that individuals with upper body impairment often fail in assistive technology adoption. I design technology to improve the autonomy in this adoption and the interaction process.

Designing Technology for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury to Facilitate Self-care Adherence

Individuals with spinal cord injury need to perform numerous self-care behaviors frequently. Pressure reliefs are one such behavior to prevent pressure ulcers. We explore the potential for technology to facilitate Pressure Relief adherence.

Design and Evaluation of a "Chairable" Personal Informatics System for People with Severe Motor Disabilities

Building Design Empathy Among Novice Designers while Designing for People with Motor Disabilities

Technology Access of Elderly People in the Developing World (Past Project)

Technology Access of Elderly Women during COVID-19
