Biography:
 
I received a BS-MS Dual Degree in Life Sciences from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata in 2022, wherein I explored the effect of prolonged usage of face masks on the perception of faces as part of my Master research project, before joining the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department as a graduate student at the VIU lab in September 2022. When I am not doing vision science or honing my computational skills, you would probably find me writing poetry, playing my guitar, enjoying Einaudi, or trekking Himalayan Mountains.
 
Research:
 
I am currently interested in investigating the neural correlates of eye movements in general, and gaze-following behavior in particular. More specifically, I intend to explore the temporal dynamics of brain activity involved in interpreting gaze cues, by utilizing concurrent measurements of behavioral and neural activities. Broadly, I am interested in combining psychophysical, neural, and computational approaches in an attempt to understand, model, and predict complex visual perceptual behavior.
