Dr. Varsha Vasudevan

I am a neural engineer with expertise in computational neuroscience, neurophysiology, and human movement behavior. My research focuses on understanding the computational underpinnings of motor control in healthy and movement disorder patients with the goal of bridging the gap between theoretical modeling, behavioral analysis, and clinical applications.

During my PhD at the Department of Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, I specialized in computational modeling and behavioral psychophysical experiments focusing on eye movements. Currently, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Human Motor Neurophysiology and Neuromodulation Lab, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, I am expanding my skill set to include advanced techniques in EEG data analysis while exploring eye and hand movement behavior. In my previous postdoctoral role with the Movement Investigations Therapeutics group at the Paris Brain Institute, France, I focused on clinical data analysis, neurobehavioral modeling, and fMRI data analysis. This progression enables me to adopt a comprehensive approach to uncovering the computational principles that govern the human motor system. 

In addition to my research, I am committed to scientific communication and mentoring. I am passionate about fostering an inclusive and collaborative research environment and enjoy sharing my knowledge with students and colleagues.
