About Me
Hello đŸ‘‹ I am a postdoctoral researcher at CNRS Paris collaborating with Prof. Marc Baaden on developing interactive molecular visualization using AR/VR technologies.
Previously, I obtained my PhD from Inria Center at University of Bordeaux under the supervision of Prof. Martin Hachet. Prior to that, I completed my MS (by Research) from IIT Kharagpur, India and my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) from West Bengal University of Technology, India.
My research interest lies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with a particular focus on designing novel input and interaction techniques.
