I got my Ph.D. from IIT-Madras in 2004, and then went on to do my post-doc in various places that includes a two year stint in INRIA, Rocquencourt, France, and at UCSB, USA. My general research interests are systems biology and dynamical system analysis of neuronal models. Presently, I am interested in understanding learning and memory in both Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression from systems biology perspective. Besides, my interests also revolves around mathematical modeling of circadian rhythms, cell division cycle, and understanding of biological network dynamics.
