I’m an Informatics researcher, bridging cognitive science, AI, and human-centered technology to study how people process sensory information in real-world interactions. With 8+ years of designing eye-tracking, motion capture, and mixed-methods studies, I advance behavior research through publications, datasets, and global collaborations — turning complex insights into intuitive solutions.
This naturalistic multimodal dataset captures 27 everyday interaction scenarios with detailed visuo-spatial & auditory cue annotations and eye-tracking data, offering rich insights for research in human interaction, attention modeling, and cognitive media studies.

We explore how cues like gaze, speech, and motion guide visual attention in observing everyday interactions, revealing cross-modal patterns through eye-tracking data and structured event analysis.

This doctoral thesis examines how visuospatial features both low- (e.g., kinematics) and high-level (e.g., gaze, speech) shape perception and attention in human interactions, combining cognitive science and computational modeling to inform human-centric technologies.

This study compares human and computational judgments of action similarity, revealing that both rely heavily on kinematic features like velocity and spatial cues and that humans don't rely much on action semantics.

This study analyzes how visuospatial features in film scenes shape attentional synchrony, using eye-tracking data to reveal how scene complexity guides visual attention during event perception.

This study explores how visuospatial features in film scenes—like occlusion or movement—relate to anticipatory gaze and event segmentation, using eye-tracking data and multimodal analysis to uncover patterns in human event understanding.

This research develops a conceptual cognitive model to examine how multimodal cues—like gaze, motion, and speech—influence event segmentation and prediction in narrative media, using detailed scene analysis and eye-tracking data from naturalistic movie viewing.

This study compares human judgments and a kinematics-based computational model in recognizing action similarity, revealing that both rely heavily on low-level kinematic features, with the model showing higher sensitivity but also greater bias.

This dataset captures 300+ hours of therapy sessions with 61 children with ASD, offering rich 3D behavioral data—including motion, gaze, and head orientation—from both robot-assisted and therapist-led interventions.

This study shows that incidentally processed biological figures influence visual perception based on structure, with upright point-light walkers with global-form features affecting processing more than inverted or scrambled PLWs with only local-motion cues.

This research proposes a cognitive science–informed Android app that improves transparency in Indian hospitals by providing patient relatives with real-time updates on health status, treatments, and expenses, aiming to reduce mistrust through clear, accessible communication.
