I am currently working as a post-doctoral research scientist. I am based in IST Austria, and previously at Oxford University. I am working in Dr. Tim Vogels’ group, for the ICGeneology project.
I completed my Ph.D. at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Warsaw, Poland. I was working in the laboratory of Neuroinformatics, under the supervision of Prof. Daniel K. Wójcik. Here, I studied the propagation of currents in brain tissue.
Before this, I worked at the National Center for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, in the laboratory of Prof. Upinder S. Bhalla, where I was involved in the development of a user interface for MOOSE v2.0 and in the visualization tool called Moogli.
In my previous life, I wrote software for modems and building components for a Solar telescope.
