Rohan Nagare

About

Research scientist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, with particular interests in circadian entrainment and circadian lighting. Past trainee for the National Institute of Health fellowship program in Alzheimer's Disease Clinical and Translational Research. Ph.D. and M.S. degree in "Lighting" from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Bachelor's degree in 'Electronics and communications' from the Indian Institute of Technology. Prior to enrolling at RPI, founded a start-up, Prism Surgicare Private Limited, with a mission to 'Illuminate Lives' by providing high quality surgicare lighting products. Recipient of the DLFNY-2016 and Jonas Bellovin Scholarship Award. Other research interests include embedded technology and power electronics.
