I'm Rana and I love all things neuroscience. I spent the best years of my life pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Neuroscience from UT Dallas. I conducted so many exciting undergrad research experiments. I have a deep fascination for how the brain transforms electrical impulses into thought, emotion, and behavior. Currently, I'm a Technical Associate at the MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research, where I support systems neuroscience experiments. My work spans primate behavioral neuroscience, electrophysiology, optical stimulation, and neurosurgical support. I operate and troubleshoot neural recording systems, run behavioral paradigms, and contribute to data processing and analysis using Python and MATLAB, focusing on neural signal extraction and behavior neural integration.
My research background spans from neuropharmacology and behavioral analysis in rodent models to electrophysiology and neural conduction experiments that explore how information travels through biological systems. In the clinical setting, I’ve worked alongside physicians and nurses during neuro assessments and emergency interventions, where I learned to value precision, communication, and compassion as much as technical skill.
I’m endlessly curious about the brain’s complexity and how scientific inquiry can bridge the gap between bench and bedside. Whether I’m analyzing action potentials, troubleshooting an assay, or diving into a new paper on synaptic pruning, I approach every challenge with the same mindset: ask better questions, think critically, and never lose the sense of wonder that drew me to neuroscience in the first place.
