Geetha Priya Padmanaban completed an MS in Human-Computer Interaction from Indiana
University.
My passion lies in bridging human factors and technologies to solve
inter-wined social problems. In the past, I worked on building user interfaces for
mission-critical products in healthcare and financial domains. During her coursework,
she developed a deep interest in client-facing roles while interacting with the UX
community. The puzzling and diverse aspects of designing solutions have lured me to dive
into HCI.
Currently, she works as a “Graduate Ambassador” and also as a “User
Experience Designer” with Dr. Saptarshi Purkayastha” for an NSF-funded
research project. In the past, she worked with Prof. Mark Larew for the I-300
Human-Computer Interaction course, which focuses on the usability aspects of the
product.
Apart from academics, she loves sketching, traveling, and doing
adventure activities. She fights for causes such as healthcare, awareness, education,
and often engages herself by volunteering in a community that supports these causes.
