About Me
Biography
I am currently pursuing a PhD in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sydney, under the supervision of Dr. Anusha Withana at the AID lab. My doctoral research focuses on sensory augmentation, helping people with vision impairment to understand the environment through haptics.
My academic journey began with a unique dual degree program, earning both a Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Honours Class I) and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney. This interdisciplinary background allows me to approach research problems from both technical and human-centered perspectives.
Throughout my studies, I developed a strong interest in how assistive technologies can transform human-computer interaction. My work investigates how we can leverage haptic feedback and sensory augmentation to create more accessible and intuitive experiences for people with vision impairment.
Beyond research, I am a passionate educator, teaching courses ranging from data management to usability engineering, helping students bridge the gap between technical implementation and user-centered design.
Unique Perspective
With a dual background in Advanced Computing and Commerce, I bridge the gap between deep technical implementation and human-centered business value.
- Technical Feasibility
- User-Centered Design
- Strategic Business Value
