Biography

Sanju is a first year PhD student in the developmental psychology track at the Institute of Child Development (ICD). She is interested in characterizing the brain-behavior association over development and examining how that might differ in various neurodevelopmental disorders and delays. Prior to joining ICD, she worked as a Simons Fellow in Computational Neuroscience at Emory University’s Marcus Autism Center where she examined longitudinal trajectories of social visual engagement in infants at low and high-risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder. She received her B.A. in neuroscience from Hamilton College in 2019.
