Engineering in 1994 from Birla Institute of Technology
and Science, India. She went on to receive her Ph.D. in
Biomedical Engineering from the Medical College of Virginia
in 1999. As part of her doctoral work she designed and
implemented a system for analyzing video images to study
microcirculatory oxygen transport. In the Fall of 1999,
she entered the field of neuroimaging at NIH as a Research
