About

I am Pranav Muppirishetty, a Human-Technology Interaction researcher and Design Engineer with a passion for Music and Art. You'd often find me working on projects at the intersection of these fields. What excites me is how humans react and respond to such works. Most often, technology is cold and distant. I try to make it warm, fuzzy and chocolatey. I love collaborating with people of different skills and interests. I am also passionate about teaching, photography, cooking, psychology and philosophy.

Currently, I am working as a Usability Engineer at Philips Healthcare in Best, Netherlands. Before that, I worked as a Hybrid Teacher in the Artifice Squad of the Industrial Design department at Eindhoven University of Technology. My research areas include human-ai interaction and mental health support through conversational user interfaces

Education:

I graduated with a master's degree in Human-Technology Interaction from the Eindhoven University of Technology. I also have another master's degree in Engineering Design, specializing in Biomedical Product Design from the Indian Institute of Technology - Madras.
