Research interests

I am generally interested in cognitive neuroscience, perception and consciousness. One main focus is how visual information in the human brain is processed for perception and action. I am also interested in meta-science and improving the reliability of science, especially with regards to replications and science communication.

CV

I studied Biochemistry (B.Sc. honours) at the University of Delhi and Neuroscience (M.Sc.) at the University of Freiburg. In March 2026, I completed my PhD in the Experimental Cognitive Science group and the research unit Modal and Amodal Cognition. Currently, I am continuing that work as a postdoctoral researcher. My full CV is here .
