Dr. Wadhwa’s research and teaching interests include software engineering, interaction design, information visualization and computing education. In her teaching engagements, Dr. Wadhwa has supervised many undergraduate and postgraduate students in the NUS School of Computing. She has developed, coordinated and taught several courses in the areas of software engineering and human-computer interaction e.g. object-oriented analysis and design, software engineering principles and patterns, software system design, interaction design, and information visualization. In her recent research work, Dr Wadhwa has worked on gender issues in human-computer interaction, user modelling and evaluation of health applications and in improving the quality of software design models. Her research has been presented at major conferences such as the FSE Foundations of Software Engineering, the Workshop at ICSE International Conference on Software Engineering, and CHI Conference on Human-Computer Interaction. Dr Wadhwa has also contributed book chapters to volumes including Wiley Handbook for Human-Computer Interaction and Springer’s Informatics and Communication Technologies for Societal Development. Dr Wadhwa is a founding member of the Centre for Computing for Social Good and Philanthropy at NUS. She initiated the Code for Community programme, to bring computing education to underserved communities. She has been very active in organising and judging many national and international competitions and hackathons including CodeXtreme, NUS Data Science Challenge, Singapore Science and Engineering Fair(SSEF), and Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Dr Wadhwa is also acting Chair of ACM-w Asia Pacific and Founding advisor for WiT(Women in Tech) at NUS. She also serves as a Faculty representative for the Student Chapter of the Singapore Computer Society and a Residence Fellow at Tembusu College, NUS.
