Sustainable Design
& Technology

I am a Researcher at MIT Urban Risk Lab and also pursuing a Bachelors degree focusing on architecture in India. My main research interest lies in synthesizing technology and design, with my work focusing on data-driven design workflows in both urban and architectural scales. I have been working with computational design, machine learning, deep learning, data science, and synthetic data generation to design better and more sustainable future cities. I have research papers & abstracts published in global conferences like CAADRIA, Design Modelling Symposium (DMS), and Design Computing and Cognition (DCC) In 2023, I was awarded the prestigious "Young CAADRIA Award" for excellence in research and academics. I have also co-led technical workshops at conferences like, CAADRIA and DigitalFutures. I am an accredited LEED Green Associate and Kaggle Expert.
