Vimal Mollyn

I'm a third year PhD student in the Future Interfaces Group at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am advised by Chris Harrison.

My research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Augmented Reality and Machine Learning, with a focus on creating novel and delightful ways for users to interact with their computers and the world.

Previously, I graduated with a bachelor's and master's from IIT Madras, where I majored in Engineering Design and Data Science.
