Integrated MSc-PhD Students

Dipayan Roy

Kiratpreet S Dhillon

Am from Bathinda, Punjab. Did my MBBS from AIIMS, New Delhi. Wanted to pursue research as I felt best suited for that but didn’t know exact research area or a queation for a while, until a lecture on Neuroplasticity while I was doing MD Pathology in Philadelphia, USA, gave me a direction. I wish to be able to do psychophysical experiments to prove good virtuous deeds are rewarded, and find the cognitive science basis and do mathematical modelling to try to devise a simple equation or scientific laws of happiness or of you get what do deserve. Outside curricular time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, Cricket, Tennis, Soccer; playing card or puzzle games, being in Nature.

Peter Simon

I am from Kerala, I did my undergrad in psychology from Little Flower Institute of Social Sciences and Health, University of Calicut.

Satej Jagatap

I am from Satara, Maharashtra. I have done bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s in industrial design from IISc, Bangalore. I have worked in domain of Biomedical NPD, UX and Behavioural design. I have an immense curiosity in matters relating to consciousness and the human mind. I enjoy researching intelligent systems like the human brain because it gives me new perspectives on interplay of the mind and the world. This interest has led me to pursue further education in the field of cognitive science. I am interested in topics of Decision Making, Consciousness and Computational neuroscience. In my free time I like to read nonfiction books on Philosophy and Politics. I love to sketch portraits and do poetry.

Shashwat Mani

I am from Prayagraj and I have done my B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering and throughout the course, I had always been interested in Psychology. It was during this time that I had stumbled upon Brain-Computer Interface which solved most of the questions I had been asking myself. At CBCS, my work is mostly related to Time perception, Memory and attention and I am currently working on Investigating the effects of Vedic chanting on memory and attention as a part of my ongoing thesis. I love playing sports and singing to relieve work stress from time to time as it helps keep the mind in a balanced state.

Spandan Raha

I am from Kolkata. I have done my B.Sc. in Behavioural Science & Applied psychology at NSHM Kolkata. After being bombarded with complex concepts of physics, chemistry and computer science in my high school my interest grew towards how we actually learn which led to my interest in psychology. During my bachelor’s in psychology my strong interest in consciousness, perception and artificial intelligence leads me to cognitive science. As for hobbies I would say I appreciate some good music and movies. In case of co-curricular activities, I have played for various cricket clubs and participated in tournaments organised by the Cricket Association of Bengal at age grouped levels. I have captained and was part of my school’s football team and cricket team.
