I'm currently a post-doc research fellow at the Silver Lab at UCL where I research in the field of computational neuroscience.
I've been contributing to Fedora for a while now. It started with Rahul Sundaram taking a font packaging workshop. I've come a long way since then, but am still quite a learner. If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to ping me either over e-mail or one of the IM channels.
I'm interested in my research, computational neuroscience, and enabling Open Science in whatever way I can help.
Note: Since I'm not in India, I cannot service media requests from India currently.
I was once transiently famous.
Where/when to catch me
I'm in quite a few Fedora IRC channels, and lots of mailing lists. I should be around from 1100 - 1700 BST (British Standard Time) throughtout the week. Ping me anytime, and I'll respond ASAP :)
