Our Volunteers

Priya holds a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi with a passion for Neuroaesthetics and Cognitive Neuroscience. She is fascinated by the intersection of art and science, and how they can be used to understand and improve the human mind. Her research interests include using Neuroaesthetics to heal mental health and chronic neurological disorders, and incorporating NeuroArts into daily life to improve well-being. She has learnt Hindustani Classical Music (Vocal) for one year and enjoys painting, doodling mandalas, learning languages and listening to music. Priya believes that arts in any form can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation, and she is committed to using her skills to make a positive impact in the world.

I'm pursuing a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Deccan Education Society, Pune University, with a Bachelor's in Psychology from Solapur University. I combine psychology with advanced design skills—honed through Graphic Design course from California institute of Arts (CalArts) and currently doing Google’s UX Design certification—to drive impactful, user-centered solutions. My expertise spans organizational optimization, consumer behavior, and product innovation, supported by strong communication, management, and observational skills. Proficient in German and Korean basics, I’m dedicated to partnering with forward-thinking organizations to create meaningful workplace transformations and exceptional user experiences.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology/ Philosophy and a Master’s in Applied Psychology from TISS. I am also an incoming student at Philadelphia Association’s course on Community, Philosophy and Psychotherapy. I work as a psychotherapist and when I am not one, I spend my time with research. My research interests predominantly lie in the interdisciplinary fields of neurosciences with personality, psychopathology, cognition, art, culture and movement. I am particularly drawn towards psychoanalysis and am curious about exploring its intersection with neuroscience. As a neurodivergent individual, I am excited about delving into the plethora of possibilities that neuroscience has to offer in understanding us and our world. I hope to pursue training as a psychoanalyst and PhD in the field of neurosciences in the future. Outside work, I love to read, lift weights in the gym, dance, swim and in a true gen-z style vibe with my inner circle through memes, Instagram reels, and zoom calls.

I am a psychologist with a BSc and MA in Clinical Psychology. My research interests lie at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and cultural psychology, focusing on how diverse sociocultural environments influence human cognition and brain function. Through my academic journey, I have developed a deep understanding of how environmental contexts shape mental processes and behavior. I aspire to further my career as a cognitive neuroscientist, dedicating myself to advancing our understanding of mental health in society.
