Welcome! I am Apurba Debnath, an MS Graduate student at UC San Francisco , specializing in Biomedical Imaging technologies. I am currenltly working in Brain Networks Laboratory with Prof. Ashish Raj and Prof. Sri Nagarajan.

Before joining UCSF, I worked on Brain-Computer Interface/compuatational neuroscience as a Postbacc researcher at IIT Madras, India, in collaboration with Paris Brain Institute. My postbacc research was focused on elucidating the underlying neural mechaninsm of BCI control to make biologically informed personalized BCI training prptocols, with Marie-Constance Corsi at Inria-Paris Brain Institute and Parul Verma at IBSE, IIT Madras.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology with Mathematics and Computer Science in 2024 from NIT Durgapur, India. As an undergraduate researcher, I worked with Prof. Dalia Dasgupta Mandal on drug delivery systems.

My research focuses on understanding neural population dynamics, structural and functional brain connectivity ,Deep-Brain Stimulation, and motor imagery–related brain processes, with applications to brain–computer interfaces and neurophysiological modeling.
