I am a behavioral neurogeneticist specializing in the study of time, memory, sleep, and love. Utilizing fruit flies as a model organism, we investigate the neuronal mechanisms underlying these behaviors by selectively blocking specific groups of neurons to understand their roles. I obtained my Ph.D. from JNCASR Bangalore. Subsequently, I pursued postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University in the USA and the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.
