Bio-sketch

Dr. Savita Yadav did her schooling from N. C. Jindal Public School, New Delhi. She received her B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics and M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Delhi in 2001 and 2003, respectively, and her M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar in 2006. Subsequently, she completed her Ph.D. from Netaji Subhas University of Technology in 2023. She has been a meritorious student and held positions throughout her student life.

She is a faculty in the department of computer science and engineering at Netaji Subhas University of Technology, New Delhi since 2007. She introduced courses on Human Computer Interaction at both undergraduate level and postgraduate level in the university. She also teaches courses on data structures, operating systems and database management systems. The emphasis of her research is on the interaction of people with smartphones and other touchscreen devices. She has published several research papers in SCIE, SSCI, Scopus and UGC-CARE indexed journals.

In addition, she has presented papers in several international conferences whose proceedings were published by IEEE and Springer. She received the best paper awards in the International Conference on Computational Performance Evaluation organized by North-Eastern Hill University (a central university) during 1st-3rd December 2021 and the International Conference on Electrical, Electronics, Information and Communication Technologies organized by K. Ramakrishnan College of Engineering during 16th-18th February 2022 for parts of the work presented in this thesis.

She has reviewed papers for acclaimed journals like Acta Paediatrica (Wiley), Computer Applications in Engineering Education (Wiley), Education and Information Technologies (Springer), Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies (Wiley) and Universal Access in the Information Society (Springer). She has chaired sessions in IEEE INDICON 2020 held during 11th-13th December 2020 and IEEE DELCON 2022 held during 11th-13th February 2022.

She has been actively supervising Ph.D. thesis, M.Tech. dissertations and B.Tech. projects many of which are on human-computer interaction
