About Me

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, under the supervision of Dr. Bobby Bodenheimer. My research examines how people perceive, navigate, and collaborate in immersive environments, particularly how differences in locomotion methods or access to spatial information affect collaborative navigation and spatial learning in VR. I enjoy developing VR/AR systems and teaching students how to build XR applications. Apart from my research, I love traveling solo and capturing serene photos of places, moments, and people. I also love to draw and paint, write stories in Bengali, my first language, and decorate my home for festivals and celebrations. You can find a collection of my photographs on my photography page or on my Instagram profile, and explore my stories, artwork, and festive creations on my creative work page. You are welcome to explore my social networking pages to get to know me better.
