Things I've built

Research systems and engineering work — from multimodal interfaces to deep-learning models. A few are open to collaboration or funding.

Selected work

Built & ongoing

Multimodal Elevator System — Gaze + Multilingual Voice
An elevator interface combining touch, multilingual voice (Hindi, Gujarati, English), and eye tracking — usable both hands-on and touch-free, which lowers hygiene barriers and helps users with motor impairments. Built as digital and edge-based hardware prototypes supporting floor selection, door control, and emergency operations; a 30-participant study showed strong usability and improved robustness, using modality fusion to resolve ambiguous inputs. Published at IndiaHCI '25; extensions are open to funding and industry partners.

Gaze-Optimised Virtual Keyboard for Indic Scripts
Doctoral research designing a hierarchical gaze-driven keyboard for complex Indic scripts (Hindi, Gujarati), minimising gaze travel using Fitts' Law–based layout optimisation. Integrates ML-based bigram/phonetic language models for predictive text entry, and dwell-free interaction to reduce eye fatigue. System design and experimental framework complete; user study underway.

Confidence-aware multimodal intent inference
PhD research at HAIx Lab fusing gaze, speech, EMG, and EEG to infer intent under real-world uncertainty — including EMG-based silent-speech decoding — for reliable communication and control.

Looking to collaborate

Extending the multimodal elevator system

The gaze-and-voice elevator interface has been published and evaluated with 30 participants — the foundation is solid. Looking to take it toward real-world deployment and broader accessibility scenarios.

Multilingual assistive communication

Low-cost gaze-driven text entry for Indic scripts, built for users in resource-constrained settings who cannot use standard input devices. Particularly interested in Hindi and Gujarati contexts.
