About this position
Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal is offering a full-time PhD opportunity through a Joint Doctoral Degree Program with the Indian Institute of Technology Jammu for the 2026–27 academic session.
The project, “Exploring the Neural Mechanisms of Indian Classical Performing Arts: An Integrative Investigation,” examines the relationship between ancient Indian artistic traditions and modern science. The research will use neurophysiological methods and tools such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate neural mechanisms associated with Indian classical performing arts.
The project is based within Indian Knowledge Systems and Cognitive Science in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at MANIT Bhopal, with collaboration from the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Jammu. Ashish Gupta is the home supervisor, and Padmini Singh is the host supervisor. As a joint-degree scholar, the student will be primarily registered at MANIT Bhopal and will spend at least 12 months conducting research at the IIT Jammu campus.
This interdisciplinary research environment connects Indian Knowledge Systems, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, neurophysiological signals, and performing arts across two institutions.
