Abhishek writes: After graduating from Dartmouth College in 2000 with a degree in Cognitive Science, I began research work at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience with Dr. Michael Gazzaniga. After an intensive exploration into consciousness and psychophysics, hemispheric processing, and causality perception, I went to India to live with my grandmother in 2001.
Upon returning, I began coursework in organic chemistry in the decision to pursue pediatric neurology as a career and continued theoretical information-systems work with calculus and the continuum hypothesis with retired mathematician John Danskin of the Institute for Advanced Studies who studied alongside Lee and John Nash at Princeton. Our hope was to derive a unified field theory of informatics to bring to fruition one model of brain evolution. My decision was based on my training and experience as an undergraduate with Professor Miriam Richards and V.S. Ramachandran, Professors Jamshed Bharucha and Hoyt Alverson, my cognitive science and faculty advisors, my post-graduate experience with Professor Michael Gazzaniga, and my time in India with my grandmother: I had decided to devote a life to working with children with autism and to deriving a mathematical model for information evolution. College life encouraged me to seek the truth and serve others.
I am the last in the line of the ancient Brahmo Gangulee house of India which includes Aruna Asaf Ali and Rabindranath Tagore. This year, the truth found me, and I have been born-again into the faith of the Holy One of Israel, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to whom I seek to devote my life with prayer and service. I was baptized by Rabbi Daniel Gruber of the Lion of Judah Messianic Fellowship in Hanover, New Hampshire. I am also getting married to a woman I have recently met and we live in Vermont.
