Welcome!
Currently, I work as a Postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Psychology, University of Osnabrück, Germany. I earned a Ph.D. in the Psychology discipline from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Mumbai, India. I earned my M.Sc. in Cognitive Science from the Center of Behavioural and Cognitive Science (CBCS), University of Allahabad in 2017. Prior to that, I completed my B.Sc. in Mathematics at Bareilly College in 2015.
My research interests continue to evolve, encompassing a wide range of topics within Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences. My current research revolves around topics such as emotions, cognitive control, computational modelling, and meta-science. At the heart of my work lies a motivation to understand the human mind in ways that can help people live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives.
