UPDATE: I will be joining the ECE dept. at Northwestern University as Asst. Professor & Allen K. and Johnnie Cordell Breed Jnr. Professor of Design from Fall 2023. I am actively looking to work with students/researchers at all positions. Please, email me at niveditaATnorthwesternDOTedu ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology with Dr. Josiah Hester . My research envisions creating sustainable computational materials and things that operate by harvesting energy from the environment and, at the end of their life cycle, can be responsibly composted or recycled. My research process involves working at the intersection of device fabrication, low-power systems, and design. I actively look to apply my work to application do
In Dec ’22, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. Gregory Abowd and Dr. Thad Starner , where I built the first realized example of sustainable computational material — interactive stickers. This work has appeared in ACM IMWUT , ACM UIST , ACM MobiSys , and NPJ Flexible Electronics. It has won two best papers (ACM IMWUT, ACM SenSys-ENSsys), two best poster awards (MobiSys, UIST), and research highlights in Communications of the ACM and SIGMOBILE GetMobile Magazine. For
