About

My research interests span the fields of audio, virtual and augmented reality, acoustics, signal processing, and computer graphics. In my doctoral work, I worked on novel physically-based simulation techniques for simulating complex acoustic phenomena arising out of propagation of sound waves in large environments. I have applied these techniques to produce high-fidelity sound for applications in interactive graphics, VR, AR, and HCI. I am currently working on improving the state-of-the-art of audio in virtual reality and augmented reality.
