About Me
I am a computational cognitive neuroscience researcher at the University of Minnesota working in the Naselaris Lab with Thomas Naselaris and CVN Lab with Kendrick Kay. My research uses computational models to characterize the geometry of neural representations underlying vision and mental imagery, with an emphasis on their shared and distinct coding mechanisms.
I hold a master's degree in Mathematics and Computing (MSc, IIT Guwahati) and received my PhD from IISER Kolkata in 2021. My PhD thesis focused on exploring the neural timeline of different real world perceptual decision making tasks.
Looking ahead, I seek to leverage the computational tools and insights developed during my PhD and postdoctoral research to advance our understanding of mental imagery, with the goal of informing more individualized approaches to mental health.
