His research has been published in prestigious journals including Nature and Nature Communications.

Pavan Ramdya is a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) specializing in neuroscience, behavior, robotics, and evolution. His work explores the neural mechanisms underlying behavior, focusing on how sensory inputs and neural circuits drive complex actions in organisms like Drosophila. Ramdya integrates computational and experimental approaches to study the neuromechanics of locomotion, the evolution of olfactory systems, and the role of neural circuits in group behavior. His research also bridges biology and robotics, aiming to develop models of embodied sensorimotor control. By combining deep learning techniques with neurogenetic tools, he investigates how neural activity translates into behavior across species.
