Assistant Professor, Centre for Education & Technology for Education (CETE), IIT Jodhpur, India
About me:
I am an assistant professor in the Centre for Education & Technology for Education (CETE) at IIT Jodhpur. 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), Teacher Professional Development (TPD), and Engineering Education. 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 to learners and teachers across different teaching-learning settings
Unpacking the role of factors such as teachers' beliefs, attitudes, and cultural contexts in their pedagogical decision-making when using LA tools
Exploring and designing ways for teachers to integrate technology effectively into the teaching-learning process.
Investigating the effect of flipped classroom design factors and teacher-related factors on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model.

A podcast with Prof. Sridhar Iyer from the Interdisciplinary Program in Educational Technology at IIT Bombay.
This podcast was created for KEF Kaarvaan while I was working at Kotak Education Foundation. KEF Kaarvaan is a podcast by the Kotak Education Foundation, providing a dynamic platform for educationists, scholars, learners, trainers, policy-makers, and change influencers to share perspectives and exchange knowledge on the #FutureOfEducation and #SkillDevelopment.
