I am Devanand(ദേവാനന്ദ് in malayalam), a postdoctoral researcher at Centre for Brain Research, IISc-Bangalore. Currently I apply Signal processing and ML techniques on EEG signals to study about Alzheimer's disease. Prior to this I was a postdoc at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. That particular work focused on applying machine learning techniques to study the "language" of facial expressions. Previously, I did my Ph.D. in computational biophysics under the supervision of Dr. Satyavani Vemparala from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai which is a research institute under the Department of Atomic Energy Department. Before my Ph.D., I did my B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (University of Calicut) and M.Tech in Electronics Design and Technology (National Institute of Technology, Calicut). I have worked in the area of Computational Biophysics, specifically atomistic and coarse-grained classical molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules like proteins and lipids, etc. My field of interests includes Computational Neuroscience, AI, Information Theory, Signal Processing, Embedded Systems, and Complex Systems etc. You can find my resume and detailed CV here.
