I am a PhD student at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, affiliated with the MUST Lab, where we work on building data-driven solutions for sustainable urban mobility.

I hold a Masterโ€™s (MTech) degree from IIT Roorkee, and my academic journey lies at the intersection of transportation systems, urban livability, and environmental sustainability.

My research primarily investigates:

  • Urban air quality and human exposure to pollution
  • Travel Behaviour
  • Activity-travel behavior and its environmental impact
  • Gender differences in travel behavior and health outcomes

At MUST Lab, we aim to develop transport infrastructure professionals equipped to tackle emerging challenges at the nexus of transport, health, and environment.

In addition, I actively apply machine learning and data analytics in transportation to promote informed policy and sustainable mobility solutions.
