My current interests focus on
Walkable and Cyclable Cities.
Pedestrian and Bicyclist safety.
Children's Road Safety.
Safe Mobility for Blind Pedestrians and Persons with Walking Disabilities.
I have a background in transportation engineering (Ph.D., M.Tech) and programming (Python, R, Stata, etc.). In 2022, I defended my Ph.D. thesis on "Study of Pedestrians’ Unsafe Road Crossing Behaviour at Signalised Intersection Crosswalks." Before joining IIT Guwahati, I conducted research at CSIR - Central Road Research Institute.
