Rithvik Ramesh, BA
I received my BA in Anthropology and Neuroscience in 2022 from Washington University in St. Louis, where I studied the intersections of culture, behavior, and health as a member of the Medicine and Society Program. During that time, I performed research at UCSF exploring the neural circuitry of learned anxiety behavior in a mouse model and human neuroimaging research at WashU, investigating associations of atrophy and lesion topographies with disability in multiple sclerosis. Fascinated by the potential for neuromodulation to address
network pathologies, I now help identify personalized neural biomarkers of movement state for adaptive DBS architecture. When I am not aligning accelerometer data, I can be found dreaming about being on The Amazing Race, coaching my underdog fantasy football team, and paper quilling.
