Biography
I was born in India, where I completed B.Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry from the University of Delhi and M.Sc. in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. Then, I came to the United States for my Ph.D. in Chemistry at California Institute of Technology (Caltech). After postdocs at IBM Watson Research & Caltech, and leading the Biomolecular Simulations Group at Caltech, I became a faculty at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I moved my research group to CSUN in 2016.
