I am a competitive all weapon fencer from the evergreen state of Washington currently rated D22 - Epee, D23 - Foil and D24 - Saber and (Western Washington Division) WWD 2024 Womens Three Weapon Champion.
I love Neuroscience and a Junior - 11th grader at Stanford Online High School (OHS). I started this research "Neurofencing = Neuroscience + Fencing" during summer 2020. The framework is broadly applicable to other athletic sports as-well.
During Covid, I learnt the basics of Neuroscience from Backyard Brains at home and subsequently used Delsys Trigno and Neuroelectrics Enobio systems at Mount Sinai NY Abilities Research Center.
I am working with marker based VICON Motion capture system, Nexus software and C-Motion's Visual3D at UW - University of Washington Computational, Robotics, and Experimental Biomechanics (CoRE) Lab.
My current project is on Brain Microvasculature at Seattle Children's Hospital Research. I use the Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MiCrONS) dataset, a cubic millimeter volume electron microscopy reconstruction of a mouse visual cortex, to understand, what differences between white and grey matter capillaries influence white matter’s vulnerability to neurodegenerative disease.
I am a member of Society for Neuroscience (SfN), Japan Neuroscience Society (JNSS), American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) and International Society of Biomechanics (ISB)
I love to teach and want to be a neuroevangelist. Over the last two years, I have conducted over thirty Neurofencing workshops sharing the physiology and biomechanics of a fencers movement. I want my fencing community to appreciate Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

I am also a classical indian dancer and currently researching the physiology and biomechanics of mohiniyattam dancer. I am collecting data from 6-12 dancers performing first 2 Adavus (defined patterns – movements set to specific rhythm) from groups 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 constituting 10 Adavus (dance seq ~30-45sec each) - Study will be published at Neuroscience 2024. The human body is very complex but it is elegant & beautiful !
Thank you for visiting my research.
