About
As a graduate in Cognitive Science from IIT Gandhinagar, my research interests lie in the fields of action and motion perception, neuroaesthetics, the bio-mechanics of dance movement, affective neuroscience, emotions, and affective computing. My background as a trained Bharatnatyam dancer provides me with a unique and informed perspective, allowing me to approach the study of dance from a cognitive science viewpoint.
In my free time, I enjoy reading books, expressing my creativity through doodling, and taking leisurely walks to clear my mind.
