Summary
🎓
Top SchoolAnukriti Kumar is a Ph.D. student and graduate research assistant at the University of Washington working at the intersection of HCI and AI with a strong focus on accessibility and healthcare. She designs and evaluates human-centered systems that make printed and scientific content accessible to people with vision impairments, translating user studies into deployable computer-vision and smartphone solutions. With eight years of experience spanning research internships and industry roles—including a Research Fellowship at Microsoft Research and engineering internships at LinkedIn and D.E. Shaw—she bridges rigorous research with production-minded engineering. Her open-source contributions to the OCaml compiler reveal deep systems-level understanding beyond her HCI focus, highlighting an uncommon combination of compiler internals and applied accessibility research. Currently seeking a summer research internship in the U.S., she brings both multidisciplinary scholarship and a track record of impactful prototypes.
