About

I am a clinical neuroscientist interested in exploring the physiology of human motor control and the pathophysiology of movement disorders by integrating various non-invasive tools such as magnetic/low intensity electrical brain stimulation, electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography. Holding a diverse educational background, I totally believe in an inter-/multi-disciplinary approach to solving any biomedical research question. I am amazed by the complexity of the human brain which drives my curiosity and motivates me to do what I do. I thoroughly enjoy the whole process of doing good science, interacting with other enthusiastic scientists and passing on the same to the younger generation.
