Meet The Team

As the founder of Neuroscience Nation, I am passionate about expanding access to neuroscience education and research opportunities for students around the world. Through competitions, chapters, and mentorship initiatives, I work to empower the next generation of scientists to explore the brain and pursue impactful research.

I'm really interested in STEM research and plan to become a neurosurgeon in the future. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the piano.

My academic interests mainly consist of computational biology and mathematics, and in the future I hope to be a researcher in the field of phylogenetics. During my free time, I like to play the drums with my jazz band or jam with some friends of mine. 

I’m Nish, a junior at Northwood who’s pretty into neuroscience and research. I spend a lot of time working on brain-related projects, debating, and helping run NeuroNation to make neuroscience more accessible. When I’m not doing that, I’m probably surfing, traveling, or grabbing food with some friends.

I am interested in biochemistry and public health, particularly how genes and molecular mechanisms influence diseases, and I hope to pursue a career in cardiology/medical research. In my free time, I enjoy acrylic and oil painting while listening to music. 

I have future aspirations towards pursuing a career in neuroscientific or cognitive development/diseases; I am deeply interested in the brain sciences and hope to use my abilities and passion for growing technologies to pursue the medical research field.

Hi I'm Melissa, a junior in WA who loves psychology and dermatology. I spend a lot of time analyzing skincare ingredients and helping others with their self-esteem as I am an outgoing person in those aspects. Moreover, when I'm free, I'll go up the mountains and snowboard while listening to upbeat music.

Hi! I am Bhavika. I'm a currently a student who wants to going into medicine and help others. In my free time, I like painting and trying new foods.

I am a student who is very passionate about her interests in psychology, neuroscience, science classes and bharatnatyam.

My academic interests are diagnostic in neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive function in neuroscience. In my free time, I like to dance, spend time with family and friends, and listen to music.

I have a strong passion for psychology and child development, with my extracurriculars including being a teaching intern and writing a research paper. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and creating art. 

I am a high school student with academic interests in business and psychology, exploring future paths in either medicine or a career in finance. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, embarking on new adventures, traveling, learnings new things, volunteering, playing the piano, and practicing Kuchipudi.

I am passionate about neuropsychology, specifically conducting research with sleep and planning on pursuing a career in the medical field. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and going to the beach.

I am interested in psychology and neuroscience, and while I am still exploring my career interests, I hope to go into the medical field. Outside of academics, I love travelling and trying new matcha spots!

I'm interested in science and world culture, and hope to be a doctor, lawyer, or entrepreneur one day! Other than being the academic weapon I am, I love trying new food, traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with my friends and family! 

I am interested in psychology and STEM research because I am fascinated by how the mind shapes thoughts, emotions, and behavior. I am a 16-year-old student from Texas who has explored tennis, marching band, tutoring, and other initiatives, and I lead my own neuroscience club to advance understanding and engagement in the field. My interest became personal when my grandfather passed away from Alzheimer’s, inspiring me to explore mental health and neurological research to contribute to greater awareness, improved diagnostics, and better support for those affected.

I’m passionate about chemistry and math and hope to pursue cognitive science and computational neuroscience in the future. In my free time, I enjoy reading and playing badminton.

I’m really interested in science and medicine, especially neuroscience! In the future, I hope to pursue a career in the pre-med track and hopefully become a neurosurgeon or a doctor. Outside of school, I love cafe hopping and trying matcha around LA, hanging out with my friends and family, and playing basketball!
