I am a neurologist with multiple fellowships, and a heart to serve and make a difference. I believe in research that directly impacts patient care. My greatest research contribution has been the discovery of scrub typhus as a cause of encephalitis in my state. I am presently working as an additional professor in Neurology in a tertiary care teaching institute in India and have 24 publications in reputed journals. I am interested in neuro-infections, stroke, epilepsy, headache and neuropsychiatry. Besides neurology, I am a wife, mother, daughter and sister. I love reading, crochet, and play the piano and the guitar.
