About me

I’m Nishant, a researcher working at the crossroads of machine learning, robotics, and computational neuroscience. My work focuses on building intelligent systems that are both theoretically grounded and practically useful.

I’m currently pursuing my PhD and enjoy exploring how computation can help us understand complex behavior, design better tools, and connect abstract ideas with real-world applications.
