Anchal Sharma — Product Engineer
Hi, I'm Anchal Sharma, I'm curious and like to create, so I spend my hours interchangeably between the 'Whys' (Intangible) & 'Hows' (Tangible) of processes. I find myself specifically drawn to innovations that exercise & meticulously intersect creative thinking, scientific thinking and strong user empathy. I'm currently dedicated to finding answers to a research question that intrigues me, about 3D Tactile perception & object recognition in the visually challenged and strive to produce scalable assistive technology for impact. Utilising the fundamentals of cognition and neuroscience, I wish to analyse the comprehension of 3D by visually challenged people and translate it in 2D for development of tactile books. At times when I'm not engrossed in research, I enjoy analysing start-up trends, strategy and reflecting on behavioural tendencies of consumers with my peers in diverse fields.
