Kripi studied biology at Stony Brook University, and found her way to Baltimore in 2022, where she now spends a lot of time working with tiny hats, big machines, and even bigger questions about the developing brain. Most days, she is collecting neuroimaging data on babies through EEGs and MRIs, and is now diving into HD‑DOT for the GLOW study.
Kripi is also working toward her MPH at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which keeps things interesting (and busy). When she’s not running studies or thinking about tiny developing brains, Kripi likes doing crafty, low‑stakes projects like cozy coloring books, paint‑by‑number, solving puzzles, building a book nook, or anything else she can get her hands on. She is always down to try new restaurants around the city or for a long walk by the harbor with a good audiobook—preferably one she’s definitely paying attention to.
