Sahil completed his PhD at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in India. He used mathematical and computational tools to understand structural properties of robust chemical networks that can store 1 bit of memory. He also discovered "precise" Excitation-Inhibition balance in the mouse hippocampus: random combinations of feedforward synaptic inputs from CA3->CA1 are balanced for excitation and inhibition. Currently, Sahil is investigating mechanisms of learning at the whole brain level in C elegans.
