Blending Science, Systems, and Creativity

Welcome to the Digital Portfolio for Tushya Mehta (He/Him)

A Passion for Blending Science, Art, and Innovation

Welcome to my portfolio, where I explore the intersections of multidisciplinary neuroscience, medical humanities, and creativity. My work is rooted in a desire to bridge the gap between complex research and its practical, human impact, creating spaces for innovation and collaboration in science and art.

Research and Discovery

From developing the Camus system for behavior monitoring to investigating dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s models, my research integrates computational tools and behavioral studies to uncover brain mysteries.

Art as Medicine

Art has the power to heal and connect. Through public exhibitions like Creativity in the Time of COVID-19 and my work on Art as Medicine, I explore how artistic expression can serve as a therapeutic tool and a bridge between science and society. These projects highlight creativity’s role in fostering resilience and enhancing well-being.

Continuous Learning

My academic journey, spanning continents and disciplines, reflects a commitment to lifelong learning. From early explorations in music perception to complex computational analysis, each step has built upon a foundation of curiosity and collaboration.

Collaboration

I am passionate about fostering connections through academic collaborations, creative projects, or mentoring. Let’s work together to push boundaries and innovate.

Accessibility Beyond Compliance

True accessibility goes beyond minimum standards; it’s about creating inclusive experiences that foster belonging. My work on the Creativity in the Time of COVID-19 project demonstrated how art can cultivate welcoming spaces for diverse audiences, including in hospitals.

Accessible Knowledge

Making research accessible is as important as conducting it. Through public-facing projects and open-source tools, I aim to create a bridge between the scientific community and the broader public
