"I highly recommend Snehashish De for roles in UX research, design, and VR/XR technology. As my Research Assistant at Indiana University Bloomington, he consistently demonstrated strong research skills, excellent work ethic, and a genuinely collaborative spirit. He is proactive with both logistical and technical challenges, always punctual, careful in maintaining high-end VR and EEG equipment, respectful of protocols, and rigorous in data analysis. Snehashish also shines in developing, deploying, and testing user-friendly applications that bridge creativity and computing. He was a key connector for our cross-functional team of educators, data scientists, and designers, helping implement an automation solution that streamlined our data collection process. On a personal note, he is a pleasure to work with, positive, reliable, and bringing bright energy to the team."
About me
I am a User Experience and Human-Computer Interaction researcher interested in how people understand, trust, and interact with emerging technologies.
My work spans Virtual Reality, accessibility, AI, and human-computer interaction. I use research to understand complex human behaviors and translate those insights into systems, prototypes, and experiences.
I'm especially interested in questions around creativity, language learning, intelligent systems, accessibility and how new technologies reshape the way people work and interact.
