Education
editRoy earned his B.Sc. from the University of Pune in 1999, followed by an M.S. in Physics from the University of Texas in 2006. He completed his Ph.D. at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) Institute of Systems Neuroscience in Marseille in 2011,[1][2] supervised by Viktor K. Jirsa.[3]
Career
editRoy began his academic career as an assistant professor at the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad[2] from 2015 to 2016.[3] He subsequently joined the Centre of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences (CBCS), University of Allahabad as an assistant professor from 2016 to 2017.[4] In 2017, he was appointed associate professor at the National Brain Research Centre, where he worked until 2021. He then joined the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur as an associate professor, working from 2021 to 2025, and has been a professor there since 2026.[2]
Research
editRoy's work centres on cognitive neurodynamics and large-scale brain networks, combining neuroimaging with computational modelling.[5]
He has investigated functional connectivity; how brain dynamics relate to cognition and how network activity changes over time.[6] Alongside this, he has examined how the brain's structural properties shape emergent functional dynamics,[7] looking at differences across age groups, cortical rhythms,[8] and connectivity patterns in neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.[9]
Roy has also contributed to understanding brain adaptations to decline, how the brain reorganises its connections to maintain coordinated activity as it ages,[10] including compensatory mechanisms.[11]
