I am a computer engineer and researcher with a passion for advancing hardware and embedded systems technology. As a Grand Challenges Initiative (GCI) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fowler School of Engineering, Chapman University, I am currently focused on developing an innovative, affordable refreshable Braille device and software to enhance early STEM education for individuals with blindness and visual impairments.  

I received my doctoral degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of South Florida, Tampa, in 2023. My research interest focuses on designing efficient and intelligent edge AI systems for resource-constrained devices by exploring the synergies between computer architecture, machine learning, in-memory computing, image processing, and IoT to enable smarter and more sustainable smart embedded systems. 

I received my B.E. degree in Electronic and Communication Engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University, India, in 2014 and my M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of South Florida, Tampa, in 2020.
