Andrew Westbrook, PhD
P.I.
I am interested in the cognitive neuroscience of working memory, cognitive control, and motivation. I use computational modeling of behavior, brain imaging, and brain stimulation to study how neurotransmitter systems influence their functionality. I am interested in both healthy, normal functioning and the etiology of cognitive dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Asako Mitsuto, PhD
Post-doc
My current interests are brain criticality, decision-making, learning, human behavior, mental effort, frontal cortex function, psychiatric disorders, impaired brain state, and treatments. Let’s overcome the effort, work cheerfully, and be happy!

Li Xin Lim, PhD
Post-doc
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Brain Modulation and Control lab at Rutgers University. I obtained my PhD in Mathematical and Computational Cognitive Science from Purdue University. My research interests include computational modeling, information integration and discounting factors in decision-making.

Abhimanyu Bhardwaj, MSc
Lab Manager
I am a neuroscience postgraduate from Trinity College Dublin, with computationally driven data science as my cardinal area of competence. Proficient in Python, I have leveraged my skills to contribute to diverse computational projects in biophysics and neuroimaging. My research interests encompass methodological advancements in neuroimaging, the multifaceted factors influencing neurodivergence, and the development of brain modeling techniques.

Ana Sarabando
Research Assistant
I am an undergraduate student at Rutgers University majoring in Biological Sciences with a minor in Cognitive Science on a pre-medical track. I have a strong interest in neuroscience and am eager to deepen my understanding of the complexities of the brain. I am particularly interested in the intersection of biopsychology and cognition. Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, working out, and cafe hopping to try out different coffee drinks and pastries!

Jeremy Fung
Research Assistant
I am an undergraduate student studying Cell Biology & Neuroscience. I am interested in studying brain dynamics and how brain criticality differs in people with and without psychiatric conditions. After college, I aim to attend medical school and continue learning more about the human brain.

Sanjana Kaloth
Research Assistant
I am an undergraduate student at Rutgers University Honors College, majoring in public health on the pre-medicine track. I am interested in cognition and decision-making, and the positive impact early interventions can have on cognitive development in youth. Beyond academic work, I love to stay active as an Indian classical dancer and competitive dancer on the Rutgers Bhangra Team!
