It has been my childhood dream to pursue a career in research. I am immensely curious and passionate about understanding how things work. At IISER Mohali, where I did my Masters, I got exposure to different areas of scientific research, such as physics, maths, chemistry, and biology. It was the complexity of biological systems, especially the brain, that truly fascinated me. So, for my Masters, I studied the small (yet complex) nervous system of C. elegans, both theoretically and experimentally. In the Rabinowitch lab, I am further exploring the role of the structure-function relations of the C. elegans nervous system. Outside the lab, I like to spend my free time reading novels and exploring this new place and its exciting culture.
