My excellence in research and contribution to disciplinary knowledge advancement was recognized by SfN (Society for Neuroscience) with The Trainee Professional Development Award 2022 (TPDA).

I strive to update disciplinary knowledge through research and publication continuously.  

My recent publications: 

Sharma D, Ng KKW, Birznieks I, Vickery RM. Perceived tactile intensity at a fixed primary afferent spike rate varies with the temporal pattern of spikes. J Neurophysiol. 2022.

My three-year master's degree, specifically in basic and medical physiology (course work + 1yr research) with a certificate of merit (top of the batch), and six years of medical physiology teaching experience as a full-time university lecturer, education-focused, have deepened my understanding of physiology (both basic and systemic). Students at UNSW have praised my disciplinary expertise.
