Ranjita Poudel
PhD Student
Department of Psychology

Ranjita is a fourth-year graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the Florida International University, specializing in Cognitive Neuroscience. She completed her M.Sc. in Neuroscience from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway and B.Sc. in Human Biology from the Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences (KUMS), Nepal. Ranjita is interested in application of meditation on human brain functions, drug abuse and addiction.
