About Nayanika Biswas

Neuroscience. AI. Robotics. Behaviour.I am a skilled software engineer with diverse experience in computational neuroscience, developing generative AI applications and robotics. My Goal: • I want to build human-centered AI systems. • I want to develop algorithms grounded in behavioral science and cognitive theory to make AI systems more aligned with how humans perceive, think, decide, and respond. • I want to use computational methods to decode neural signals and understand how the brain functions.What I bring: •A deep interest in signal processing, Generative AI, behaviour modelling and cognition-inspired algorithms. •A cross-disciplinary mindset that connects silos (AI × Neuroscience × Behavior x Software Engineering) •A builder’s instinct, a scientist’s curiosity, and a communicator’s heartMy passion for neuroscience stems from one enduring question:“How do neurons store and manipulate information?”That question drives my curiosity across domains—whether decoding neural signals, studying behavior, or developing intelligent systems.My academic excellence and commitment to make science more accessible has been recognized through several awards: •Generation Google Scholar (2022) •Cadence Women in Technology Scholar (2022) •MITACS Globalink Research Intern (2020)I’m also the creator of Unconventional Neuroscientists, a community and platform that highlights the diverse, non-linear paths into neuroscience and aims to make the field more accessible to people from all disciplines. I love storytelling and believe that community narratives are the ∆x that catalyze growth. I love meeting people at the edge of science, tech, and behavior.
