Meet Nitin Gupta ! (IIT-JEE Rank 1, Neuroscientist & Researcher from India) Exploring how the brain turns signals into behavior from smell to decision-making. > Topped IIT-JEE in 2000 and joined IIT Kanpur > Graduated with a BTech degree in Computer Science, with a growing interest in biology > Pursued a PhD in Bioinformatics & Systems Biology at University of California San Diego > Where he Worked in cognitive neuroscience > Then he moved to National Institutes of Health for postdoctoral research in electrophysiology > After Postdoc he returned to India and Joined IIT Kanpur as a faculty member in 2014 Today, he is working at the intersection of neuroscience, behavior, and computation > Studies how neural circuits encode behaviors like attraction and repulsion > Uses insect olfactory systems to understand how brains process smells > Examines how mosquitoes respond to human odors vs repellents > Research which will help to uncover fundamental working principles of brain Beyond core research, he is also building solutions for real-world impact > Developed TreadWill, a digital cognitive behavioral therapy tool for depression > Working on scalable mental health interventions using technology His work bridges computer science, biology, and neuroscience, decoding how simple neural signals give rise to complex behavior.

100% of the voters have said that Indian funding agencies should share the reviewer comments with the authors!
@IndiaDST @DBTIndia @ICMRDELHI @ANRFIndia
Nitin Gupta@nitiniitk
In reviewing grants, reviewers spend considerable effort in identifying pros and cons. Why not share these insights with the authors for future improvements? Sadly this isn't happening with many Indian funders! Should it be made mandatory for govt agencies to share the reviews?

@parresianz If the reviews have to be shared, their quality might also improve, as a aide effect!

@nitiniitk I had suggested something similar while working in the NZ research sector. Some information was provided - but not technical, only things such as they didn't expect the team to be able to deliver. Of course, most engg. grant applications were reviewed by non-technical people.
