Varun received his PhD in Neurobiology from Caltech in 2023 under the mentorship of Doris Tsao. His research focused on recording single neurons from human epilepsy patients in order to uncover the neural mechanisms of visual imagery. He is now a postdoc at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre continuing the research he began in graduate school in addition to working on new projects aiming to understand the how familiarity changes representations of objects and how words get their meaning (semantic encoding). In his spare time Varun enjoys working out, playing music, and spending time with his friends.
