Having moved across 4 countries growing up, Arjun did his undergrad degree at the University of Toronto. He split his studies across all three sciences, with a double major in Biochemistry and Chemical Physics (theoretical quantum mechanics), and a minor in Mathematics. With an interest in neural computation, he did his PhD under Mitya Chklovskii and Simon Laughlin, jointly between the University of Cambridge and HHMI's Janelia Research Campus. For his postdoctoral work, he travelled, yet again, to Switzerland, to work with Botond Roska. Now in Charleston, he enjoys birdwatching and wildlife photography along the coastline, when he is isn't asking questions about circuit neuroscience and cognitive function. 

Originally from Moldova, Julia grew up across the US, living in a total of 6 different states at 14 different locations. She earned her bachelor's degree in Neuroscience with a Computational Concentration, as well as a minor in Biomedical Engineering, from Carnegie Mellon University in 2023. During her undergrad, Julia conducted research under Alison Barth, exploring the neural correlates of learning and memory. She then spent her first year post-grad in Seattle, joining a research startup in Alzheimer's drug discovery. Making her return to academia, Julia is now in Charleston investigating the neural circuitry behind consciousness at the Bharioke lab, while enjoying learning to surf, creating tie-dye art, and exploring the local music scene in her free time.

Cat, originally from Tampa, Florida, graduated from the University of Florida in 2024 with a bachelor's degree in Health Science. During her undergraduate years, she conducted research with Dr. Jared Tanner, focusing on brain age and studying the machine learning models used to estimate it. When she isn't delving into the complexities of the mind, she is pursuing her passions in aviation and music, either flying ultralight airplanes or practicing the piano. Now in Charleston, she is exploring both the city and the intricacies of cortical circuit computations as a member of The Bharioke Lab.
