I earned my PhD from the Learning Sciences Research Group, TIFR Mumbai, followed by independent postdoctoral work at Roskilde University, Denmark, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA. I have also held tenure-track positions at SMU Dallas and SR University, India.

I co-chair Embodied@ICCE, an annual International Workshop on Embodied Learning: Technology Design, Analytics, and Practices at the International Conference on Computers in Education.

I work at the intersections between embodied cognition, technology-enhanced learning, and STEM education. My two-fold research involves designing innovative technology interfaces (such as VR) for embodied learning of complex scientific phenomena, and characterisation of learning processes in terms of mechanisms of cognition, action, and embodiment. For this, I often employ design-based methods, and a combination of qualitative interviewing, interaction analysis, and eye-tracking techniques.

Research is my primary responsibility. As part of the new Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for University Science Education (USE), my team and I design, implement, and test innovative new media-based interventions to foster university STEM learning.

As the USE Satellite Lead at AU, I collaborate with partners at AU, KU, and SDU to drive world-class collaborative research and development in higher science education in Denmark.
