Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAahana Bajracharya is a neuroscientist and imaging scientist with nine years of interdisciplinary experience developing and applying non-invasive optical neuroimaging methods to study spoken language processing. Currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Yale, she brings deep expertise in fNIRS and high-density diffuse optical tomography, having led large-scale data collection and advanced analyses across clinical and control populations. Her work blends engineering rigor—MS in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Imaging Science—with practical experimentation, including building multi-sensor setups that integrate eyetracking, motion sensing, and real-time photogrammetry for naturalistic speech paradigms. She has a strong track record in reproducible neuroimaging, contributing to global projects on analysis reliability and establishing SOPs that enable long-duration, ecological experiments. Beyond the lab, Aahana has taught functional neuroimaging methods, mentored trainees, and managed cross-disciplinary collaborations with clinicians and engineers, reflecting a rare combination of technical, pedagogical, and leadership skills. Colleagues describe her ability to translate complex signal-processing solutions into robust experimental systems that work in noisy, real-world listening conditions.
