Dr. Nanda is a functional neurosurgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and co-director of the Brain Modulation Lab. Born in Boston, Dr. Nanda studied pure mathematics at Stanford University, graduating with honors, and he received his medical degree from Columbia University with induction into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. He joined the Brain Modulation Lab in 2021 during his neurosurgical residency and functional neurosurgery fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he focused on innovative surgical neuromodulation. His research interests center on translating cutting-edge neuroscience – spanning neuroimaging, connectomics, and electrophysiology – to develop network-level insights that inform neuromodulation strategies to improve the lives of patients with neuropsychiatric disease.
