Profile

I come from the city of Pune in India. A chance encounter with a book titled “The Tell-Tale Brain – A Neuroscientist’s Quest for What Makes Us Human” by V S Ramachandraninspired me to take up Psychology as a subject. I completed a BA in Psychology at Fergusson College (India) and an MSc in Foundations of Clinical Psychology at Bangor University (UK). Interested in exploring the cognitive and brain systems that are at work when we are engaged in the social world, I have recently finished my PhD under the supervision of Dr Richard Ramsey on the neural mechanisms of how we interact and imitate in the social world. I am always on the lookout for new adventures, and I enjoy traveling, climbing mountains, and dream of becoming a skydiving instructor in the future, among many other things. A professional Indian classical dancer, I also love animals, reading, music, social work, and learning new languages.
