About

I am currently working as postdoc at Center for Neuroscience, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India. My research interest lies in development of advanced optogenetic imaging technologies. I did my Ph.D. from Photonics Laboratory, Department of Physics and Computer Science, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, India. My Ph.D. thesis is on formulation of computational models of optogenetic control of neuronal signaling. I did M.Sc. (Physics) from DEI, Agra in 2017 and B.Sc. from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Agra, India in 2015.

I am a recipient of the INSPIRE Scholarship and Fellowship Awards by the Department of Science and Technology of Govt. of India, and several best paper presentation awards at International and National Conferences. I also received the prestigious ISCA young scientist award in 108th Indian Science Congress in 2023.
