Educational Background 

Prior to joining IIT Jodhpur, I held Research Associate positions at several leading institutions, including the Petra Ritter Lab and Klaus Obermayer’s group at TU Berlin, Germany, as well as the Mriganka Sur Lab at MIT, USA. I completed my Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience at the CNRS Institute of Systems Neuroscience, France, where I was part of the Theoretical Neuroscience Group (TNG) and the Epilepsy Unit, working under the supervision of Viktor Jirsa. Prior to my doctoral training, I earned an M.S. in Applied Physics and Nonlinear Dynamics from the University of Texas, USA.
