About Me
I'm Supratim, a Design Researcher & Artist.
In my 2nd year of PhD @ Georgia Institute of Technology advised by Dr. Noura Howell at the Future Feelings Lab & Dr. Michael Nitsche.at the Digital World & Image Group.
I design embodied, tangible critical and creative experiences for learning and expression. My work makes use of creative tech.
My research involves understanding how hybrid methods of making, performance and futures thinking methods rooted in the community or culture can facilitate critical AI learning experiences (Critical AI literacy).
Previous @IBM, Mercedes Benz Research & Winuall.
