Adi Nair
Adi is a Postdoctoral Fellow and an NIH NeuroAI Early Career Scholar at Caltech and Stanford University, working with Scott Linderman, Pietro Perona and David J Anderson, where he combines experimental and theoretical tools to understand social behavior. He completed his PhD in Computation and Neural Systems at David Anderson's lab at Caltech, where he was also a National Science Graduate Fellow of the Agency of Science, Technology and Research (a*star), Singapore. In his work, he hopes to redefine the way we think of emotional behaviors and neuropsychiatric disorders by studying emotions like aggression through the lens of dynamical systems and machine learning. Adi is passionate about changing the narrative of mental health and, by re-conceptualizing mental disorders with the computational properties of neural circuits in mind, he hopes we can begin embracing the diversity in how these disorders are expressed.
