I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. My research is in digital health, wearable technology, and data science, with a focus on human-centered computing solutions that enable personalized health. 

I founded and co-direct the Augmented Health Lab - a consortium of interdisciplinary researchers working together to tackle grand challenges in healthcare. I am also an affiliate of the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH). 

In addition to the above, I founded and lead Computer Science Summer Research (CSSR) @ Dartmouth to train and equip a more diverse pool of undergraduate students to pursue advanced degrees.

Before joining Dartmouth, I was a Rice Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in the Scalable Health Labs. I obtained my M.S. & Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, from Georgia Institute of Technology, and my B.Sc. also in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin.
