I currently work as a lab manager with Dr. Gerrit Maus
at the Visual Perception Lab,
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. My current project is on blink adaptation for vergence eye movements.
I have also started working with Dr. Maiko Uesaki, we are looking at the role the ventral intra parietal area plays in self motion detection using fMRI
and define VIP's connectivity using diffusion MRI. Earlier, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India,
majoring in Biological Science & Bio-engineering. My main research interests are in the nature of representations in our brain which allow for visual perception.
During my undergraduate education, I have spent the summer working with Dr. Jeremy Wolfe
at Harvard Medical School on Hybrid Foraging. I spent another summer with Dr. Jérôme Sackur at École Normale Supérieure, Paris,
working on metacognition in visual search. My undergraduate project on influnce of top-down processes
on visual search was completed with Dr. Devpriya Kumar.
Other than my research interests, I am an avid reader of non-fiction. I like birdwatching and travelling. I was once an
Arsenal fan
I have been strongly influenced by the works of Bertrand Russell and Francis Crick.
