| Dr. Megha Sehgal is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at The Ohio State University, where she studies how the brain links experiences into memories, and why this ability is often the first to falter with age. Her lab blends mice, microscopes, and a healthy dose of curiosity, using advanced imaging, open-source neurotechnology, and creative experimental design to watch memories form in real time. A passionate mentor and science communicator, she enjoys building tools as much as asking big questions, and through her involvement with the STEAM Factory she is excited to connect neuroscience with hands-on learning, playful experimentation, and the next generation of curious minds. |
