Our Faculty

Dr. Chaitanya Nutakki, is an Assistant professor at Amrita Mind Brain Center, he received his Ph.D. in computational neuroscience from Amrita School of Biotechnology. His research has primarily focused on mathematical modeling of neurovascular coupling and reconstructing fMRI BOLD signals from the cerebellum and interconnected circuits. This work led to the development of a tool called BOLDsim, which is part of the Human Brain Project. Additionally, Dr. Nutakki is actively engaged in a DST and DBT-funded projects, where he contributes to the design and development of a low-cost wearable device for analyzing human gait. Also, worked in EU-funded WeNet project will develop the technology to empower deeper social interactions through diversity-aware AI. In addition to his work in neuroscience and AI, Dr. Nutakki is actively engaged in community health initiatives, exploring how everyday life activities influence cognitive function and contribute to cognitive deficits.
