Research
Her lab at NBRC works on cognitive neuroscience and has focused on studying language, biliteracy and emotion in Hindustani ragas.[6][8] Her research in biliteracy, wherein children acquire literacy in languages that belong to distinct writing systems, highlighted difficulties in reading and led her to develop a tool called DALI, Dyslexia Assessment for Languages of India, to screen and assess dyslexia in students in primary school. It can be used for screening for dyslexia in the following languages: Hindi, Marathi, Kannada and English. She was awarded the Millennium Alliance Innovation Award in 2016 and the Reliance NASI Platinum Jubilee Award in 2018.[3][6][9][9] She was also awarded the National Young Woman Bioscientist Award of the Department of Biotechnology, India in 2012.[10]
At UNESCO MGIEP she leads projects to design “a curriculum for social and emotional learning (SEL)” and to “improve the functional literacy rate”.[11]
