Shruthi Chivukula

Educator/ Researcher @ Pratt Institute [School of Information]

I am an Assistant Professor at School of Information, Pratt Institute (Manhattan, New York). My interest lies in the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), User Experience Design, Ethics and Values, and critical qualitative research. My quirky side, I am a doodler who named her doodles "Shruudles", a Carnatic Classical Singer, a plant mom, a Formula1 follower who does not know how to drive, and a great cook (trust me!).
