I am an Early-Career Researcher and an Assistant Professor at the School of Liberal Arts, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. My work sits at the intersection of higher education policy, digital technologies, and pedagogy, with a focus on how technological transformations are reshaping teaching-learning, and higher education systems. I have contributed to multiple research and consultancy projects in this area, and my work has appeared in reputed journals as well as policy-oriented publications.

I previously held a postdoctoral position at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, in collaboration with Imperial College London, and completed my PhD at Indian Institute of Technology Jammu. Alongside my academic work, I have served as a policy consultant with the Commonwealth of Learning.

My research has been supported by several competitive grants, including the BAICE Travel Grant, the National University of Singapore Internship Grant, and the SEAMEO-RIHED Grant. Prior to pursuing my doctoral studies, I completed dual master's degrees in Education and Physics and have received numerous accolades, including a gold medal and position, during my academic journey.

If I am not in my office, I am likely exploring unfamiliar landscapes or enjoying quiet moments in nature-and perhaps attempting to learn cooking, inspired by the flavours of my hometown, Jammu.
