I am a post-doctoral researcher working with Angela Yu in the Cognitive Science department at UC San Diego. I am interested in theoretical neuroscience, machine learning and cognitive psychology (among other things). More details to come!

I was a post-doctoral researcher working with Rajesh Rao, affiliated with the Neural Systems Laboratory. I received a Phd in 2008 from the University of Washington for my dissertation titled Brain-Computer Interfaces for Control and Computation. Some of my past activities include Human-aided Computing in collaboration with Desney Tan at Microsoft Research, the Brain-Controlled Humanoid Robot, and co-managing the Spring 2006 course CSE599e: Brain-Computer Interfaces.

Research

I'm interested in computational perspectives on neuroscience, cognitive psychology, psychiatry and neuropharmacology.

In the distant past that was my graduate career, I worked on a variety of brain-computer interface problems, examining the interplay between brain signal decoding and application context. In the distanter-than-that past, I did some research on database systems. See my publication list for more details.

Personal

I come from Bangalore, India. I received a Phd in Computer Science from the University of Washington in 2008. I graduated in 1999 with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. In my copious spare time, I sing with the University Chorale Recital Choir Cascadian Chorale Pacific Camerata and the newly reconstituted CSE Band, also known as The Parody Bits.

What's New

• May 2011 My first neuroscience journal article. Really hoping the next ones come out faster!
• May 2011 Singing with the Pacific Camerata! Renaissance/Baroque music, good to be back.
• Apr 2011 Softball in the spring! The department team (earthpigs) made it to the consolation playoffs..
• Jan 2011 Best of times/ worst of times and all that. It's been a fascinating year, and I'm quite hopeful for this year's prospects.
