Mr. Abhinav Kadambi
The more I understand, the more I need to know.
I am an Engineering Graduate with an Integrated Masters degree in Medical Nanotechnology (Bachelors in Bioengineering). I am fascinated by human behaviour and would like to pursue research in the field. Despite having no courses in my official curriculum at the University level, I have been pursuing internships, workshops, conferences and online courses in subjects such as Neuroscience and Psychology. I believe that my Technology background will give me a hand in understanding human behaviour in a different angle. I am interested in all fields associated with anthropology.
