Personal profile

Biography

I am a visual neuroscientist with a passion for understanding the neural and perceptual mechanisms underlying eye function and alignment. My research combines behavioural, neuroimaging, and brain stimulation techniques to investigate visual disorders, with the goal of revealing neural mechanisms that can inform clinical interventions.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher with Dr Daniela Balslev at the University of St Andrews on an MRC-funded project investigating proprioceptive control of eye alignment in childhood strabismus. This interdisciplinary work combines fMRI, TMS, and eye tracking in collaboration with NHS Fife and researchers from Glasgow and St Andrews. 

Before joining St Andrews, I was a Doctoral researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, India in Prof. Tapan Kumar Gandhi's lab.

Research overview

Over the years, I have led and contributed to several research projects, including:

1. A systematic review and meta-analysis that redefined critical windows for achieving stereopsis in congenital cataract patients. 
2. The development of a digital stereoacuity test, now validated in clinical settings.
3. Investigations into ambient lighting effects on stereoacuity — with translational potential for improving diagnostic precision.
4. Graph-based fMRI analysis to differentiate neural circuits involved in processing coarse vs. fine disparities.

Beyond the lab, I am committed to translating research into real-world applications, particularly in pediatric and clinical vision care.
