PhD Student
Clara graduated in 2022 from a master degree in biomedical engineering. She then worked in a pharmaceutical industry but, after few months, she decided to switch to fundamental research and joined the CoActions lab in June 2023 to begin a PhD. She will focus on the speed-accuracy trade off during reaching movement as well as on the role of arousal in this trade off. To do so, she will use reward, transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Mantosh did his Masters in Neuroscience from the National Brain Research Centre, India. He further did a Research Assistantship with Prof. Nivethida Thirugnanasambandam, where he worked on a project analyzing structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging data from a large set of Parkinson’s Disease patients curated from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative database in the hopes of identifying biomarkers that could be used in the early stages of the disease to predict the onset of dyskinesias later in life. He then joined the CoActions lab in December 2022 for his PhD.
