I am an Assistant Professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. My research interests are Human Computer Interaction and Information Communication Technologies for Development. One main stream of my work is in understanding human perception and cognition to create immersive environments. My second stream of work focuses on engaging feminist perspectives and approaches towards designing technologies for/with underserved communities, particularly in patriarchal contexts.
