I am currently a post-doctoral research fellow in the Keck Center and Department of Physiology at UCSF in the San Francisco Bay Area. I did my graduate studies in the Computational Neurobiology program at University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Salk Institute, and finished up with a short stint as a postdoc in UC Berkeley. My undergraduate education was in Engineering Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT).

I am interested in Systems Neuroscience, especially in neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory, decision making, information coding and plasticity in circuits of the brain. For my post-doctoral work in Loren Frank's lab at UCSF, I am studying how memories are stored and represented in the hippocampus, and the interaction of the hippocampus with decision-making areas in the brain. For my graduate work, I studied the rat vibrissa system in Dan Feldman's lab at UCSD and later at UC Berkeley. Specifically, I investigated how sensory stimuli are represented in the somatosensory system using a combination of behavioral, electrophysiological and computational techniques.
