About

She identifies strongly with the fields of forensic psychology and forensic investigation, with her work primarily centered on research, report writing, and case study formulation. She completed her Master’s in Forensic Psychology from Rashtriya Raksha University in 2024, which strengthened both her academic foundation and practical understanding of the discipline. She also completed a one-month posting at the Central Institute of Psychiatry, gaining practical exposure to clinical psychology. Additionally, during her internship at Sabarmati Prison, Ahmedabad, she acquired valuable insights into legal psychology and contributed to rehabilitation-related work with prison inmates. Her research journey has been shaped by a deep interest in radicalization and psychological vulnerability. She worked on a project with the Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) titled “Recent Trends of Radicalization Among Young Adults in India,” and continued this line of inquiry in her Master’s dissertation, “Online Radicalization Among College Students in India.” In this research, she explored how digital platforms influence susceptibility to extremist ideologies and utilized statistical tools such as SPSS and the Chi-square test to derive evidence-based findings. Building on this foundation, she published an international paper titled “A Comparative Analysis of Online Radicalisation Among Youth in India” in IJIRT. Through survey-based data collection and comparative statistical analysis, she identified key behavioral, social, and psychological patterns linked to online radicalization among youth. Her research further highlighted how different demographic groups engage with extremist content online and offered insights into potential preventive strategies.
