Priyanka Srivastava

Priyanka Srivastava is the principal investigator at the Perception and Cognition (PAC) Lab at IIIT Hyderabad. Her team investigates the determinants of human perception and thinking ability and uses emerging technologies like VR/AR, to understand how our brain is wired. Her current work at IIIT Hyderabad is breaking the glass ceiling in gender typecasting and depression. An early interest in human behaviour led her to study cognitive mechanisms, using virtual reality to screen and diagnose mental health issues in youth, linguistic geographies and vulnerable demographics.
