ABOUT ME

"One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful" 

- Sigmund Freud

I am currently a graduate student at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Iowa State University. My primary field of investigation is Computational Neuroscience in general and the design of Neuromorphic Computing Architectures, in particular. I am currently studying novel computational models for neuronal dynamics in the mammalian prefrontal cortex. My research is driven to bridge the 'gap' between mathematical modelling and VLSI implementation of Spiking Neural Networks towards diverse learning and inference tasks. To that end, one of my salient projects is to design a Digital Neuromorphic Processor/Neural-Accelerator with good balance between biological plausibility and large-network applicability having dynamic neurophysical behavior as evidenced by recent advancements in theoretical neuroscience. 

​

In my free time, I like to read titles on neuropsychology and clinical neurology. I practice historical, political and scientific awareness on a regular basis. Music is a central fabric to  my philosophy and I am an avid listener and (occasional!) player of multiple genres of music ranging from classical to pop Jazz to blues.
