She has a doctoral degree in the field of post occupancy evaluation and human- environment interaction with special focus on urban school environs.

She has presented papers on cultural continuity, aesthetics and heritage & environ- behaviour studies in National & International conferences.

She strongly believes that while technology contributes towards making life comfortable and work more efficient, its mindless application to creating the built is resulting into a serious alienation of people and their architecture, adversely affecting the man- environ relationship.

She also believes that practice and the academia need to synergize for the betterment of the field of architecture and its fraternity at large. Improvement and enrichment of mutually conjoined fields of research, academia, practice and policy- making are possible only with such a collaborative effort.
