About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Prof. Aniket Bera. My research lies at the intersection of affective computing, multi-modal learning, and human motion generation. I focus on building emotionally expressive and context-aware virtual agents that interact naturally with humans in real time. Previously, I earned my B.Tech and M.Tech in Electronics and Electrical Communications from IIT Kharagpur.
