-<p class="card-text">Her research focuses on designing and developing immersive, user-centered solutions that enhance accessibility and inclusivity, particularly for blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals. With a background in Computer Science and Engineering, Sanchita’s work seeks to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and user experience. She is currently working on studies that investigate cognition in BLV people and multiple tools and technologies through which this can be achieved.</p>
+<p class="card-text">Sanchita Kamath is a Ph.D. candidate in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction, Data Visualization Education, and Embodied Learning. Her research explores how generative AI and immersive technologies can make data experiences more inclusive, non-visual, tangible, and human-centered. At the (x)Ability Lab, Sanchita designs and evaluates multimodal and embodied interfaces that bridge cognitive and physical engagement in data understanding. Her projects include VR-based learning environments, AI-driven visualization tools, and interactive pedagogical frameworks that reimagine how data can be felt, explored, and understood beyond sight. Her broader goal is to advance accessible data education by merging design, technology, and embodied experience to create equitable pathways for learning and exploration.</p>
