Surbhit Wagle

Hi I am Surbhit. I am a PhD student in the research group of Prof. Tatjana Tchumatchenko at the University Clinic in Bonn, Germany. 

Brief academic history: Before starting my PhD in 2020, I worked as a junior research fellow in the laboratory of Prof. Upinder Singh Bhalla at the National Centre for Biological Science in Bangalore, India. In his lab, I worked on developing a web-interface for the FindSim tool. I also managed to set-up the heavy simulations on the supercomputers at Neuroscience gateway at UCSD using REST framework. In addition to these software development projects, I also worked on optimizing a biochemical signaling model of autism.  I obtained my M.Tech from Biological Sciences and BioEngineering department  at the Indian Institute for Technology Kanpur, India. I wrote my master's theis on a novel smarthphone/android-based suite of games that for autistic children (paper). Before that, I did my bachelor's in computer engineering.  

Research Interests: My research intersts include an amalgam of theory of and experimental neuroscience. I am excited to work on projects involving differential equations, mRNA/protein dynamics, data anlysis and tool development.  For my Phd project I am developing a theoretical model of protein and mRNA trafficking dynamics to understand how synaptic plasticity emerges from the underlying protein and mRNA dynamics.
