Hi, I am a 5th year Ph.D. student in Societal Computing (S3D) at Carnegie Mellon University. I love to build (hardware and software) systems. I am interested in how we can enhance utility of smart environments and promote human-AI collaboration towards user health and wellness, while alleviating privacy concerns. I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Yuvraj Agarwal, and to get an opportunity to work closely with Dr. Mayank Goel, Dr. Amy Ogan and Dr. John Zimmerman.

I am actively engaged with Edusense classroom sensing project, and Autonomous project for supporting people with Dementia. Before grad school, I worked with Bidgely UtilityAI on promoting energy efficiency using smart meter disaggregation, and completed my undergraduate (B.Tech) in Computer Science from IIT Delhi .

I am actively looking for internship opportunities in Summer 2025. Please reach out to me at prasoonpatidar [at] cmu [dot] edu. Here is my CV for more details.
