About me:

I am an assistant professor in the Center for Education Technology (CET) at IIT Jodhpur. I completed my PhD in Educational Technology from the Centre for Educational Technology at IIT Bombay. My research lies at the intersection of education, technology, and design, with a focus on the following broad areas: Learning Analytics (LA) for Teachers, Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), and Teacher Education (TE). I take a pragmatic worldview and primarily use mixed methods, user-centered and co-design methods, and statistical methods. My research broadly encompasses the following aspects:

• Exploring, designing, and evaluating analytics to close the feedback loop for learners and teachers across different teaching-learning settings

• Unpacking how teachers' beliefs, values, and cultural contexts influence their pedagogical decision-making when using LA tools

• Using multimodal data to conduct process-centered investigations of video-based learning environments

• Exploring and designing effective ways for teachers to leverage technology and design approaches in the teaching-learning process
