About

Hello, I'm Ekansh and I'm currently pursuing my PhD at Georgia Institute of Technology, majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My research focuses on addressing the fundamental challenges in brain-computer interfaces in order to clear the way for a future where we can harness the brimming potential of the human brain to its fullest. I collect human brain signals and work with machine learning models and signal processing methods to build efficient brain-computer interface systems.

Outside my professional life, I love working out and playing sports. I am also passionate about cooking. I have always been a big fan of good food and appreciating cuisines from around the world and I find cooking to be a very rewarding and creative outlet.

I've also always had a fascination with history, and I find great joy in reading and learning about different time periods and societies. My interest in traveling is also down to my fascination with history and I find exploring new cultures and traditions extremely satisfying. Writing is another passion of mine, and I try to journal my thoughts and ideas whenever possible in a personal blog. Overall, I understand the importance of continuous improvement and am grateful for the opportunities that I have been given and I hope to make the most of them.
