Shreya Saxena / Yale Engineering
Shreya Saxena, an Indian-origin assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Yale, is developing computational models to better understand how the brain controls movement. Born in New Delhi, Saxena is focused on reverse-engineering the brain to learn how its many components work together, with potential applications in prosthetics, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
Speaking to Yale Engineering, Saxena said her interest in neuroscience began as an undergraduate during a lecture on how computational modeling can help decipher the brain. “I was inspired by just how good the brain is at achieving things, and how little we know about it,” she told Yale, adding that she wants to understand how we can “learn from the best machine in the world.”
