I am currently pursuing my PhD at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), India. Additionally, I serve as a Junior Research Fellow in Neuroimaging, associated with the “India ENIGMA Initiative for Global Aging and Mental Health,” at NIMHANS in collaboration with the University of Southern California (USC), USA.

I am also a published author under the “Prime Minister’s Young, Unique, Versatile Authors (PM-YUVA) Mentorship Scheme.” My debut novel, titled “The Least in the Company” was published by National Book Trust, Government of India in 2023.
