I am a scientist working at HRED, US DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory with secondary appointments at Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University and Department of Cognitive Sciences, School of Social Sciences, University of California, Irvine. Broadly, I am interested in complex systems physics and its application to neuroscience.

I obtained a PhD in physics (2015) from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune in my home country, India, for which I received a national fellowship (JRF & SRF) from CSIR, HRD Ministry, Government of India.

Before joining my current position, I was a postdoctoral fellow (2016-2017) at Network Neuroscience Lab, Mathematics Department, University at Buffalo, SUNY, Buffalo, NY, and a visiting fellow (2015-2016) with Prof. Rajarshi Roy, University of Maryland, College Park.
